Icon of the Seas Embarkation Day: Is This the Best First Day Ever?
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
Embarkation was so easy. Our check-in time was noon, but we had a 12:30 reservation for lunch.
It is so much crazier than I expected even after being on Symphony so many times and Oasis so many times and it's so much nicer than I thought.
Food was great, right? It was yum. Very good. Very good.
The Aqua Theater show, which was spectacular every time.
