Creator's Key Takeaways

the cost is more than we've ever paid for a family cruise

we would have to split it up into two separate cabins for our family of five

we are 26 days until the carnival celebration naming ceremony and the inaugural Cruise so we are so excited for this one

I personally recommended the ship was beautiful this was a 12 to 13 year old shift um so yeah I thought it was amazing

So currently our house is slightly divided on whether we should cruise on Royal Caribbean's ICON OF THE SEAS within its 1st year of operation. The cost is more than we've ever paid for a family cruise!!! Join us to for a discussion on the ICON OF THE SEAS, the cost, is it worth it for families within the 1st year, etc.... PLUS we will talk about our upcoming cruise on Carnival Celebration! We will be on the 1st US Inaugural Sailing over Thanksgiving! We have also been invited to attend the exclusive Naming Ceremony of Carnival Celebration! We are so excited!
