Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to give the edge to the icon class. Obviously, Utopia is 236,000 gross tons. Star is 248.

For me, it's probably better to to book an Oasis class ship than, you know, because of the price difference.

The social 100 patio I think for teens Oasis class has a much better teen area.

Both both great ships. Uh it it's it's so crazy when when you think about the fact that Royal Caribbean is about to have nine out of the 10 biggest ships in the world.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an Oasis class ship for better value compared to Icon class.
Get off early at Cabo Rojo to enjoy pool areas and relaxation spots.
Consider group bookings or travel agent blocks for Icon class to reduce cost.
