Creator's Key Takeaways

we have recently returned from the inaugural sailing of icon of the Seas while the cruise fair is a lot more than most of the cruises we've been on we found nine significant upgrades on this class ship

the Surfside neighborhood is a game changer for families it offers a unique environment that combines fun for the kids convenience for adults and breathtaking views

the elevator system on icon of the Seas is a game changer instead of pushing a button on an elevator and waiting we were greeted by screens outside the elevators where you could select the destination floor

this ended up being the best cruise we've ever taken and if you're interested in icon class or are planning to book a Royal Caribbean cruise this year and are seeing these high prices rising across the fleet watch this video next
