YouTube Video Description

Royal Caribbean's newest Icon comes to life in the form of LEGO bricks! In Episode 1 of this 3 part series, you will learn about the process I take in building a LEGO Cruise Ship featuring the Icon of the Seas build! You will also get to learn a little bit more about myself and how the channel came to be. At the end of the video is a trailer for Episode 2 of this series, which will be coming out in February 2024 following my cruise on Icon of the Seas during her Maiden Voyage! This video does feature numerous in progress videos and photos of the Icon build. While it does not feature any completed photos or videos, if you do not wish to see any part of the build until Episode 2 comes out, please refrain from watching this until that video comes out.
