Creator's Key Takeaways

This is Icon of the Seas. The largest cruise ship ever built and the world's boldest attempt to combine a resort, a theme park, and a city bus terminal all in one place.

Without a doubt, a crown jewel of the entire cruise experience. The Stardust wasn't just good. It was so good that I went there twice and still wished I had a third round. It's pure magic.

It's luxury distilled. Finally, the bonus round. Since you've watched this far, you deserve a spa.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Line up about half an hour before the start of the comedy club show if you didn't book it.
โœ“Highly recommend digital detoxing.
โœ“If you want a privacy and guaranteed spot, you can rent one of the little enclosed cabana style sun pods.
