Creator's Key Takeaways

Nicole and I really enjoyed the water slides aboard icon of the Seas especially the raft slides which are family raft slides

We highly recommend the Overlook area as a random fact the Aquadome area originally in the planning stages of icon of the Seas was supposed to be a Botanic Gardens

The Wind Jammer is one of my more favorite venues on all Royal Caribbean ships because what's better than food on a cruise ship

Empire Supper Club Nicole and I did this for our anniversary and we really really enjoyed it

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Go to the water slides after your Port day or if you stay on the ship during Port to avoid crowds
βœ“Go to the Wind Jammer Marketplace right when they first open or right before they close to get a seat
βœ“Check out the Vitality Spa on embarkation day to see what's there that you'll want to take part in
βœ“Try the prime rib on the first night of your cruise in the main dining room
