Creator's Key Takeaways

I paid $5,179 for a 7 night cruise this included accommodation for two people in a Central Park infinite balcony cabin.

The amount of things to do on icon of the Seas is unparalleled in the cruise industry.

I hated the obstructed balconies in Central Park and I wish I knew this before booking.

I appreciated the variety of complimentary choices.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Research cabin locations thoroughly before booking, especially for Central Park balconies.
βœ“Consider the high price tag when deciding whether to book Icon of the Seas over other ships.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship being too family-focused and crowded with children β€” Family activities are centered in specific areas, making other parts of the ship quieter.

When itineraries on Icon of the Seas became available to book nearly a year and a half ago, I immediately booked a cabin for the first sailing. Having cruised on most of Royal Caribbean’s ships, I was interested to see how Icon of the Seas would stack up against the rest of the fleet. Here are the 5 things I loved (and 4 I hated) about my vacation on the world’s biggest cruise ship.
