7 Days On The World's Biggest Cruise Ship - Is It Actually The Best?

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a seven day inaugural voyage on the Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world. The video provides a comprehensive tour of the vessel, beginning with a detailed look at the family infinite view balcony rooms, which feature unique amenities like bunk beds with individual televisions and a chalkboard. The creators explore various neighborhoods, including the family oriented Surfside, the lush Central Park, and the adult only Hideaway. They review a wide array of dining options, ranging from the Windjammer buffet and the Aquadome Market to the high end, eight course Empire Supper Club experience. Entertainment is a major focus, with coverage of the AquaAction water show, ice skating performances, and the high adrenaline Crown's Edge obstacle course. The creators also visit the Category 6 water park, testing several record breaking slides. The trip concludes with a visit to Royal Caribbean's private island, CocoCay, where they experience the new Hideaway Beach and rent a private cabana. Ultimately, the creators conclude that while the ship is an incredible achievement with unmatched amenities, the high demand has led to significant price increases.
