Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator shares several recommendations for saving money while vacationing on the Icon of the Seas. During a dining experience at Teppanyaki, the creator notes that while the food was good, the cost of over $130 per person did not feel justified for the experience provided. The video also evaluates the Crown's Edge attraction, noting that while the price had decreased from its original high, the creator still questions if the short experience is worth the expense. Regarding beverage packages, the creator explains why they opted to pay for individual drinks instead of a package, calculating that the cost only breaks even if a passenger consumes a high volume of drinks daily. Additionally, the creator suggests saving money on Wi-Fi for those who wish to disconnect, despite the high quality of the Starlink service. The video concludes with observations on various ship amenities, including the Aquadome coffee shop, mini golf, and the lack of crowds at the water park during late hours.

βœ“Avoid paying for Crown's Edge unless it's heavily discounted or free.
βœ“Consider skipping the Wi-Fi package to save money, as it's expensive.
