Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm the brick executive and this is building a Lego cruise ship featuring icon of the Seas

I started this channel if I remember correctly in November of 2019 um and it was basically a recommendation from my parents

I am a pilot I am currently a flight instructor for a flight school I am slated to go into jet training here pretty soon

I think I spent about 150 hours building the ship and uh probably easily that same amount researching the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use ratio spacing to determine dimensions when specific measurements are unavailable

✓Start with major details before adding minor details to ensure access to interior sections

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Lack of specific dimensions for ship details — Use ratio spacing and reference photos to approximate placements and sizes

Accessing interior sections after building upper decks — Build major details first, then add minor details later to avoid access issues
