Creator's Key Takeaways

We're officially on board the biggest cruise ship in the entire world. Weighing in at over 250,000 gross tons.

This is by far the best cruise ship we've ever been on.

The best Royal Caribbean bathroom I've ever had. Whoever designed it, you nailed it.

Icon of the Seas. If you don't do Icon of the Seas, you are crazy. You're missing out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your room cards when you leave your cabin to avoid being locked out.
Use the cruise planner app to pre-order items for your room.
Book daycare reservations early, as you can only book one day at a time.
