Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm the originator of the couch Cruise concept of couch cruising and we are talking all things icon the Seas one year later

If you can wait and not do the inaugural don't do the inaugural just wait a couple salings and get that cheaper price

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use AirTags in your luggage to track them if flights are delayed or canceled.

✓If you aren't looking for the 'hype' of an inaugural, wait a few sailings to get a better price.

✓Read your credit card benefits; some cards offer excellent travel insurance and protection for delays or theft.

✓Keep all emails regarding flight cancellations or delays as proof for insurance reimbursement claims.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

High price point of Icon of the Seas — Consider shorter sailings on newer ships like Star of the Seas to experience the ship without the 7-day price tag.

Crowdedness/Family atmosphere — Be aware that Icon is heavily geared toward families; if you want a party vibe, look toward Utopia.
