Creator's Key Takeaways
we've sailed on the ship twice and have put together our expert tips and tricks that we wish we knew before selling on icon of the Seas
personally we prefer a traditional balcony when compared to an infinite balcony thus we stayed in Ocean View balconies during our sailings
we actually personally enjoyed icon the Seas more in fact we think icon of the Seas feels more spacious than those other class of ships
our vote is to skip them as they look better than they taste plus there's plenty of free soft serve ice cream out on the pool deck
