Creator's Key Takeaways

the purple side which I think it's called hurricane hunter is uh in my opinion better than the green one

the chicken sandwich comes with waffle fries and they're also seasoned with a similar seasoning to the chicken sandwich and it is all good

Cruise director Mike is probably the best cruise director that is on any of the royal cariban ships

Bring cash for the water taxi in St. Maarten
Order the fuku OG chicken Sando at Playmakers

YouTube Video Description

It's day 4 on our Icon of the Seas cruise and our first port stop is the Caribbean Island of St. Maarten! In this video, we discuss our day exploring the city of Philipsburg on St. Maarten which includes shopping and hanging out on the beach. When we get back to the ship we try a new chicken sandwich at Playmakers, along with eating way too much food at this specialty dining restaurant. We also tried out the Thrill Island Category 6 Waterslides and then finally met Rover the Chief Dog Officer of Icon of the Seas. We review out dinner at Coastal Kitchen, and then check out the latest ice show from Royal Caribbean: Starburst Elemental Beauty! We then check out the party on the plaza which is a one-hit wonders theme! There was so much to see and do on our port day in St. Maarten! We can't wait to go back to this incredible place! #IconoftheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #Cruise #Cruisevacation #Cruisetravel #Travelcouple #cruiseship #stmaarten #royalcaribbeancruise #Travel #Vacation #royalcaribbeancruises #cruisetips #cruiseline #sintmaarten We took a 7-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas in October of 2024. This cruise went to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Coco Cay and included 3 days at Sea. We booked this cruise on the Royal Caribbean website and we had a Sunset Junior Suite at the very back of the ship. We had an amazing time on this cruise and during this trip and we are going to share each part of it on this channel. Look out for future videos over the next several weeks. Our first video from this trip was about our 2 days in Miami before the cruise: https://youtu.be/E6fxA_zLLZ4?si=CKWQa5umbYG9UD47 Embarkation Day! https://youtu.be/v9tP1JQ80tY?si=Bw_cnMSSVXHxGdAx The tour of our Sunset Junior Suite stateroom: https://youtu.be/4LK-JXpGJtg?si=T0sqtstegJ7Unm6W All the fun things we did on our 3 Days at Sea aboard this amazing ship: https://youtu.be/mAtBeS7PQhU?si=ooAf9WZgGUJLENyT For more updates and to keep up with where we're at and what we're doing, please follow us on our social media accounts.
