Creator's Key Takeaways

I paid 100% of my own money for this Cru so you guys are going to get my honest First Impressions

Central Park lived up to everything I thought it would be it is beautiful beautiful beautiful

the spa huge disappointment so I went to tour it so they have a thermal Spa if you purchased a package before the cruise it was $109 um and I found out once you got on the ship that you can't just book one day for the thermal spy they only sell $3 passes

I had an absolutely great time hey guys still day three when I tell you the room was the perfect amount of cold and I was sleep so hard

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Sit at the bar to meet people as a solo traveler
βœ“Get to the adults-only area early to secure a seat
βœ“Book excursions directly with the cruise line for ease
βœ“Come to the main dining room for a real meal
βœ“Return to the ship early to access hot tubs without crowds

Feeling overwhelmed by the size of the ship β€” Take a minute to chill out and not be so eager to see everything on the first day

YouTube Video Description↓

I had the opportunity to sail on the inaugural sailing for the largest cruise ship in the world, Royal Caribbean's Icon of The Seas. This highly anticipated ship was a one of a kind experience but left much to be desired for this solo traveler. Will making friends help the experience on this large vessel or is this just not the ship for me? Find out in this throwback movie of my 7 day experience.
