Creator's Key Takeaways

I've waited a whole year to see you again, Dragon Fruit. Hello. I've missed you so much.

This is why we do icon. Look, there's your barbecue wing. And they're not bad.

They listened some way somehow. Somebody must have complained enough. And look, they put this barrier here. Thank you, Jesus.

Both are definitely great ships. But they took away some things um from Icon for Star.

YouTube Video Description

Embarkation Day on Icon of the Seas did not go as planned. Clay and Summer pulled up to the terminal wondering why traffic was backed up for miles… only to learn later that the delay was connected to the ongoing investigation into the tragic death of passenger Anna Kepner on the Carnival Horizon, which had returned to port that same morning. Join The Howards as we navigate the chaos, board Icon of the Seas, and kick off our vacation with surprises we never expected. From the terminal to the ship, we take you along for the full experience. #HangingWithTheHowards #IconoftheSeas #CruiseVlog #royalcaribbean #embarkationday #cruisenews #cruiseshiplife #cruisetips #cruisevlogger #travelcouple #cruisetravel #miamiport #crisenewsupdate #carnivalhorizon #annakepner #portmiami
