Creator's Key Takeaways

As of the recording of this video, Icon of the Seas is by far my favorite ship.

The shows were absolutely amazing.

The one thing that stood out above everything else was the fact that all the bars had brand new and unique drink menus.

It is definitely a must try while you're on this ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the elevator tablets to quickly find your elevator.
Visit the adult hideaway early in the morning or after dinner to avoid crowds.
Go to the overlook on embarkation day for seating and a drink while waiting for your cabin.
