Every Pool on Icon & Fun with Friends

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a variety of experiences on the Icon of the Seas during their fifth day of cruising. After breakfast at the Windjammer, they describe a chance encounter with a Golden Retriever named Rover. The vlog follows their excursion in St. Thomas, where they discuss the ship's modern bow design and the tradition of plaque exchange ceremonies. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to a comprehensive tour of the ship's various pools, including the Surf Side water area, the adult-only Hideaway pool, the swim-up bar at Swimmist Tonic, and the quiet Cove pool, which the creators name their favorite. They also review several dining options, such as Al Loco Fresh, the Aquadome Market, and the Trellis Bar in Central Park, providing specific ratings for dishes like mac and cheese poppers and steak bites. The day concludes with recreational activities including mini golf, sub soccer, rock climbing, and attending a high-energy street parade on the Royal Promenade. They finish by participating in a high-intensity game show at Absolute Zero before preparing for a sea day.
