Creator's Key Takeaways

I paid out of my own pocket to be on this Cruise you know a lot of YouTubers and travel agents that have made videos about icon were cruising for free at Royal Caribbean's expense

I loved it and another show I enjoyed on board at no additional charge was the aqua action show in the indoor Aqua theater

they were asking $300 for one day use of one of these daybeds at The Hideaway $140 for dinner for two at the Steak House

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book with travel agent Caitlyn Gallagher for better rates and expert advice on cabin selection.
βœ“Consider the Cocoa Beach Club for a quiet, relaxing beach experience.

YouTube Video Description↓

This is my full review of the new cruise ship from Royal Caribbean, Icon Of The Seas. This is the first in a new class of ships from Royal Caribbean, and it's really interesting to see how they've taken some of the best features from their Quantum-class and Oasis-class ships, added a few new ideas, and come up with what a lot of people say is the most amazing cruise ship yet. I spend the majority of this video telling you what I loved about this ship, but I do also point out some things that didn't sit well with me. I hope you'll leave a comment to tell me what you agree with and where you think I'm wrong about Icon Of The Seas.
