Creator's Key Takeaways

I am back with a new video for my Best & Worst Cruise Staterooms and today I am starting my continuing my coverage of the Icon of the Seas

we are scheduled to sail on her in March of 2024 and very looking very much forward to it

the worst location is still better than being at home cuz you're on vacation and you're on a cruise

I would choose deck nine for the simple fact that it is one deck up from Central Park

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a guarantee to save money but know the worst possible location

✓Choose deck nine for proximity to Central Park and elevators

✓Consider your planned ship activities when selecting a stateroom location

✓For families, deck seven is ideal for proximity to Surf Side

✓If you want a large balcony, consider decks seven or eight for better value

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Worried about noise from dining room or other areas — Lower decks and central locations are generally quieter; noise is not a major issue on large ships like Icon of the Seas

Concerned about seasickness — Choosing a lower deck and central location can help, but Icon of the Seas is so large that seasickness is less likely
