YouTube Video Description

While our inaugural cruise on board of Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas was absolutely amazing, there we found 5 big Icon Of The Seas cons that may make some people rethink booking this ship. To save money on this cruise, we originally booked a neighborhood balcony guarantee. As I was looking at cabin availability before getting our room assigned, I kept seeing two types of cabins that have the most cabins left open: Infinite balconies and Surfside Neighborhood location. Since both of these were new concepts launching on Icon of The Seas, I spent a lot of times researching both trying to decide if we made a good choice. I'll explain what we ended up doing and why it was the right choice in this video. We also tested several specialty dining venues on Icon and were disappointed in several of them (while thoroughly enjoying a couple others). Additionally, we were very surprised at one of the new neighborhoods on Icon Of The Seas (which I'll go over in detail in this video). 🛳️ 🛳️ 🛳️ See our current list of available reduced group rates for Icon Class and other ships - https://cruiseandtravelnetwork.com/ 🛳️ 🛳️ 🛳️ =========================== Check out these videos next to help you decide if Icon Of The Seas is for you https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-OTQE08zFKjhYrSRMZ7cIkMXr2Z0eD1A =========================== 👉 A lot more content coming.
