Creator's Key Takeaways

we recently sailed the inaugural sailing of the icon of the Seas and we just want to talk about our experience you know to see is it really worth the hype

the ship was selling at 80% and uh I mean that's close to Max especially we found out that uh a lot of those um 80 it was 80% of cabins that were booked

the entertainment is topnotch yes but on Carnival they have a ropes course and a roller coaster and on icon they have crowns Edge

the ship itself is your destination so if for whatever reason if we had to miss support I wouldn't have been disappointed

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan the rest you got to be extremely intentional because there's always something to do
If you want to rest you're gonna have to go on expecting to miss things but you'll still have plenty to experience
For families with kids under 10, Surf Side will be amazing
