Icon of the Seas Embarkation/ Sea Days | Casino Deal, Windjammer Wins, Starburst Show & Wizard of Oz

After a 6-hour drive, we finally rolled into the beautiful but absolutely slammed Port of Miami to board Icon of the Seas — the largest cruise ship in the world. And here’s the real kicker: 👉 We’re on this sailing because of a casino offer. The price was so low, it was one of those “yeah… we’re not saying no to that” situations. We spent some time in the casino during this trip too, and honestly, deals like this are one of the most underrated ways to cruise big ships for a fraction of the usual cost. This vlog covers three full days onboard — embarkation day plus two rainy, relaxed sea days, which turned out to be the perfect excuse to slow down, explore the ship, and eat very well. 🚢 What’s in this vlog: 🚗 Our long drive into Port of Miami 🛳️ Embarkation day first impressions on a 250,800+ gross ton mega-ship 🎰 Casino visits and how casino offers made this sailing possible 🌧️ Two laid-back sea days (rainy, but honestly kind of perfect) 🍽️ Trying multiple dining options — and yes, I’ll say it again: The Windjammer Buffet still wins for selection, consistency, and quality, especially compared to similar-priced cruise brands. Call it buffet creeping — I stand by it. 🎭 Shows we saw (don’t skip these): ❄️ “Starburst: Elemental Beauty” — the high-energy ice-skating show inside Absolute Zero, the largest ice arena at sea. Visually impressive and absolutely worth the time. 🎶 The Wizard of Oz – Broadway-style production — nearly two hours long and surprisingly fantastic, even if Broadway isn’t usually your thing. Easily one of the best shows at sea. 🌴 Exploring Icon of the Seas: We explored several of Icon’s standout neighborhoods and spaces, including: The jaw-dropping AquaDome Central Park, one of my favorite places to escape the crowds Surfside’s family-focused area The Royal Promenade, home to The Pearl, the world’s largest kinetic sculpture and a true Icon-class focal point 📊 Icon of the Seas quick facts: 🚢 Largest cruise ship ever built 🧍 Up to 7,600 guests plus 2,350 crew 🏗️ 20 decks 🌊 Multiple neighborhoods that feel like separate destinations #cruise #cruiseship #iconoftheseas #royalcaribbean Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvCg3FR8qua4eoE1OIu0STQ/join Search for the best rate on all cruises now at my website: https://kellman.cruisebrothers.com/cb/ Click here to check out Virgin Voyages and book with me! https://www.virginvoyages.com/book/voyage-planner/find-a-voyage?cabins=1&currencyCode=USD&agentId=206315&agencyId=450&bookingChannel=FMLINK Shot in 4K 30fps DJI Osmo Pocket 3, iPhone 15 Edited with iMovie on MacBook Pro Want to create live streams like this?
