ICON of the Seas: 5 Reasons To STAY AWAY

Editorial Summary

The creator shares several drawbacks experienced during an inaugural cruise on the Icon of the Seas. First, they discuss the controversy surrounding infinite balcony cabins, noting that while they have positives, the design may not suit everyone. Second, the creator warns that cabins overlooking the Surfside neighborhood can be loud due to constant children's play and pool activity, which may disrupt those seeking a peaceful retreat. Third, the video addresses challenges with specialty dining. Although the food and service were described as outstanding, the booking process was difficult due to limited capacity and cramped seating in venues like Chops Grill. The creator suggests booking these dining options well in advance. Fourth, the creator notes changes to traditional entertainment, such as the absence of a dedicated white party or classic decade-themed nights. Finally, the video highlights the significant price increase for Icon class ships, which are approximately twice as expensive as Oasis class ships. Despite these concerns, the creator concludes that the overall vacation was excellent and not dampened by these issues.
