Thanks so much for this podcast on the world's largest luxury cruise liner, Icon of the Seas. It was launched in Dec 2023, and is the latest in a series of cruise liners made in Turku, Finland. Its predecessors built here include among others: Mariner (2003), Freedom (2006), Oasis (2009) and Allure of the Seas (2010). Finland's old capital Turku lies on the country's southwest coast offshore from the world's largest archipelago of over 40 000 islands and islets. Being resident in Turku, I've seen loads of ships come and go, also the world's largest sailing ships from the Tall Ships races.
We have a group of 51 family members sailing on Icon of the Seas on December 14, 2024. We are really excited and looking forward for our upcoming cruise. You guys enjoy your cruise.

Why do you tubers say things are free and or complimentary??? If you paid to be there its INCLUDED AT NO EXTRA FEE OR CHARGE… nothing is complimentary or free…
Certain things you still have to pay, like drink (alcohol & soda), some fancy dining restaurants and a couple activities such as surfing lesson and skywalk.
Hi there! Yes, mostly all the stuffs to do is complimentary. Fancy or gourmet restaurants are out of pocket. Some ride, like surfboard or walking on crown’s edge also out of pocket. Thanks for watching! 😊
Hi there, please watching on Day 4 or Day 5 of our episode. We had a room tour. Exploring ICON OF THE SEAS Cruise port at COSTA MAYA MEXICO (DAY5) th-cam.com/video/EBDa6Yl6-Ik/w-d-xo.html
The price of a cruise on the Icon of the Seas varies depending on the cruise length, stater room of choice, destination, and time of year. As an example for 7 days starting from $1500.
@McAlhanies just a minor correction. You referred to Icon as Royal Caribbean's biggest ship they have. While that is definitely true, she is currently the biggest, largest ship ever built and currently sailing. So, she is not just the biggest ship Royal Caribbean has, she is the biggest of all the ships any cruise line has. Great video. I definitely will be sailing on her next spring. And your video got me excited about my sailing. Thank you!
Giant ships like icon of the seas and harmony of the seas are too big to go through the Panama Canal so it cannot go into the Pacific plus there’s not a lot of harbors and port that can fit them ships
Hello Japan! You will have a great time sailing with Icon of The Seas. So much to do in the boat and so much complimentary food. There are so many choice of restaurant you can choose at your cost. Keep in mind, if they offer you for dinning at your cost for one of the restaurants they offer, make sure you ask the special offer in pricing and bonus. They will do that because they need the sales. I personally did not eat in the restaurants that I have to pay extra, because the complimentary food is good enough and so much variety for us to eat everyday. Please stay tune for Icon series because we have 5 more videos to come to cover each day, we were in the boat and our porting days in two destinations. Thank you so much for watching! ☺️
Hello… Yeah in this ship has so much going on and a lot of family with small kids. Maybe smaller ship or a ship with adult only feature such as Virgin Voyages cruise ship would be great fit. Thank you for watching. 😊
The largest, the biggest, the best etc etc , my goodness almost hysterical, not for me, thank you. 24-hour pack crowd, day and nite. Noise, noise, noise, wherever you go on the ship it is noise noise noise, loud music, people, children etc etc etc, NO Thanks !
@ Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond! She is a mighty impressive ship, I can imagine for those with children it would be quite the adventure, lots to see and discover no doubt😀 All the very best from the UK! Ps crossing to New York on the queen mary would be much more our cup of tea! 👍😀
Sorry, we tried to reduce the noise during editing intro, can’t be clear because no microphone available during filming. As you keep watching should be better in audio. But anyway, thanks for stopping by.
Hello! Everything looks so beautiful 🎉❤ and the food was delicious and the pool is so relaxing 😎 I promise to eat as much as I can 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The balloon down 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉wow 😂❤
I loved icon

Rust free ships are happening at Eden with the Disney Wonder - call them about the smells of gold and the engine performance.

@@McAlhanies,
Those are "extra"...
Nothing is free ever you paid for it! It was just put in the total cost of your trip. But you did pay for it in advance. Which is the best way to go.
I gotta check out Icon too 😊
Yes! 😃
The flow rider has always been free on all other RC ships I’m surprised to hear you say there’s a charge for it now.
I’m so sorry, my mistake. What I meant is private lesson is for a fee involve and less waiting time.
I'm enthusiastic;😍
Arrival at the sea; ⛵
All this stuff is complimentary;☕⛵😍

Want to see what the rooms look like
Hi there, please watching on Day 4 or Day 5 of our episode. We had a room tour.
Exploring ICON OF THE SEAS Cruise port at COSTA MAYA MEXICO (DAY5)
th-cam.com/video/EBDa6Yl6-Ik/w-d-xo.html
How many people does it hold?
About 5,600 passengers, plus 2300 crews.
So how much is it to get aboard the beautiful ship mein

Midnight ballon drop..why the kids will miss it.
Not sure why they have this even on midnight. I didn’t see so much kids either, probably a few little kids around with their parents.
8:17 - This does not even, feel like you are on a ship. This looks more like one of those mega malls you might see in some part of Asia or something.
You are absolutely correct! That’s how we felt. Feels like inside the malls. We don’t even feel if the boat is moving, no shake at all.
Way to give out wrong info about chill island. It is not adults only!
Yes of course, It is not adult only. As you see there are so many families hanging out in Chills Island.
Hey @bamcheon idk if you could handle chill island if you can’t even chill in the comments
@McAlhanies just a minor correction. You referred to Icon as Royal Caribbean's biggest ship they have.

Great video. I definitely will be sailing on her next spring. And your video got me excited about my sailing. Thank you!
My worst night mare!
Probably you will great fit with the smaller ship and specify for adult only. There are so many cruise line offer adult only ship.
Giant ships like icon of the seas and harmony of the seas are too big to go through the Panama Canal so it cannot go into the Pacific plus there’s not a lot of harbors and port that can fit them ships
You are right!
You are right! Big ship need more room to port.
Why oh why would anybody want to go on a boat with 50000 chavs?
😀
You obviously are not someone who knows anything about cruising if you don’t know how people got their swimsuits before you.
It’s was just a joke! Thanks for watching 😊
This is my parents show my real name is Joel McAlhany and I’m the little boy❤
😃😘
@@McAlhanieshope you guys had some fun!
I’m saying this, but modern ships look weird I preferred older ships
Older ship cheaper as well in cost of travel rate.
Why spoil video with music can’t watch sorry
Sorry.
Thank you for making the video!!
We plan to get on Icon on this coming Nov. (from Japan🇯🇵) so pls share us recommendations about food/places etc,,,😊

Aargh. Not in a month of Sundays
😩😊
I am a retired man
This ship is good but the atmosphere here is not fit for older people to travel by water...
Hello… Yeah in this ship has so much going on and a lot of family with small kids. Maybe smaller ship or a ship with adult only feature such as Virgin Voyages cruise ship would be great fit. Thank you for watching. 😊
✌️💪
😃
The ship is going for repair so early in its life, the ship is very slow.
Lo que tú dices que lo que tú dices
😃
The largest, the biggest, the best etc etc , my goodness almost hysterical, not for me, thank you. 24-hour pack crowd, day and nite. Noise, noise, noise, wherever you go on the ship it is noise noise noise, loud music, people, children etc etc etc, NO Thanks !
Sorry 😬
I understand everyone has their own preference to having fun. Thanks for watching!
It's not for me either. I want peace and quiet. No crowds. Relaxation. 😊
Try virgin voyages maybe…adults only…
Like taking a vacation in a carnival or circus.
You would have to pay me to board this ship. Hunderds of kids running into your lega and screaming all day. No thanks.
Yeah, this ship designed for families with children.
Try virgin voyages ..if you prefer an adult cruise.they are adult only.
It's called a ship, stop calling it a boat!
It is just semantic.
Yes let’s go on vacation with 7,600 people…🤦♂️
Lol, a lot of people. It’s all depends on your preference.
What a horrid experience, no appeal for me. Hope you had a good time!
I’m so sorry. 😔 It was understandable because this huge cruise is not for everybody.
Yes, we did had a good time. Thanks for watching! 😉

Terrible audio on the intro so I stopped watching the video 🤷
