Pros and Cons of Icon of the Seas

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of their seven day experience aboard the Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship. They highlight several positive aspects, including the spacious and open design of the promenade, the abundance of natural lighting, and the variety of themed neighborhoods like Surf Side and Central Park. The reviewers praise the ship's extensive entertainment options, the high quality of the staff, and the convenience of features like handwave motion bathroom doors and efficient elevator systems. They also note the comfort of the infinite balcony rooms and the impressive variety of bars and restaurants. However, they identify several drawbacks, such as confusing bathroom signage, a thermostat that struggles to maintain lower temperatures, and the high cost of entry and specialty upcharges. Specific criticisms are directed at the small size of the toilets in certain rooms, the disruptive noise from the Aquadome theater near specialty dining areas, and the tight spacing of slot machines in the casino. Ultimately, the creators conclude that the pros of the ship outweigh the cons despite the significant expense.
