I'm obsessed with Icon! I passed the chance of buying the tickets when they were released back in 2022 thinking "how am I buying something for 2 years from now? I'm gonna wait". Now, I ended up loosing the opportunity because of today's prices. Since Icon arrived in Miami I couldn't stop looking for content of it and all the valuable information that you always provide! haha Somehow, yesterday I was able to find a miracle and I bought my iconic vacation for next month! 🥳 I got my popcorn and I'll enjoy watching this ship tour for the next 90 minutes! Can't wait!
Good for you! I really want to go on it. I just have to figure out who can go with me because most of my family does not like big ships. SMH. But at some point, I'm going with or without them.
@@shaniaday2739 You should! Don't miss the opportunity. I'm glad I was able to find a miracle yesterday and book what I wanted for so long! You should try to find something as well!
Can't wait!!! I don't think I'm going to have enough time to enjoy all the amenities of the Icon in just 1 week😮. Spring break is going to be awesome. 🙌🏼
I really find it next to impossible to see any are of this ship and it’s experiences that you failed to address. Taking grandkids on it later this year. Thank you so much. I can’t imagine the work you put into this.
Thanks for this amazing tour!!!! I watched it 3 times! LOL But seriously, I cannot wait to get on this ship and see all of this in person! And.... Chairpoline? 🤣🤣
Can I get in the mail brochure with prices very interested. Sounds wonderful need dialisys three times a week Eloísa Meric 66 Pasadena Ave Lodi, N J 07644 From where you leave How much the price of a companion with no dialisys. Thank you
Thank you Matt and everyone else involved in putting together this great ship tour. So good to see the finished ship after all the anticipation,. Looking forward to hearing about and seeing more of the Icon in the coming weeks and months. "Thank you" to all the Royal Caribbean Blog team for providing helpful information in such an accessible way😊
I'm obsessed with this ship, I've been waiting for a video like this, superbly put together, super informative, nice slow panning shots, absolutely can't fault this at all, although A cruise for me and my family is not possible due to cost, I'm still hoping one day we will be able to sail on her, she's a stunning ship, and an absolute masterpiece of construction. My Dreams are as big as ICON. Amazing
I went to a college with around 7,000 students. The fact that the ship can hold the population of my school plus thousands more is shocking and incredible
You have the best RC videos by far. Thanks for all your help with informing cruisers! All of the videos that I’ve seen so far show very few non-“in-the-water” lounge chairs that are in the full sun… I feel like these are the ones that everybody always goes after on sea days. Do you feel there are enough non-water-loungers in the full sun?
Wow 🤩 I was able to see back on 1/12 while we was docked at perfect day coco Kay. I was on the Mariners of the sea which is a great ship but however Icon of the Seas is definitely world renowned ❤classic. Can’t wait to board the Icon of the Sea!! 🎉
You know i saw the time of this blog and i was like OMG how long - BUT i watched every single second and loved it even saying wow a few times. Such details and depth is what others miss and i loved it. She is amazing
Just want to quick say how glad I am you’re saying “included in your cruise fare” as opposed to “free”. We pay for these things, so the credit is to us the consumer, not cruise line’s benevolence. Great video! Thanks for your hard work.
Right why not explore, go to the pool, go to the buffet, even make friends they just stare at their phones like they can’t do that after , everytime i go to a cruise ships we get our electronics taken away and they stay at home except My parents for pictures and other stuff you have to do on the phone
This was the inaugural sailing for the ship, and the people invited were travel agents and travel influencers. The majority of these people were working.
Fantastic video! Right up there with all the best horror movies. I watched it in awe of how the SAD is not just causing obesity but mobility issues. Well done for capturing all the anxiety inducing elements of a floating Hell. Just imagine this ship with a full complement of passengers! Petrifying!
Great video Matt! I’ve been following this ship since I heard about it Summer 2023. Hoping the prices will go down in the next 2-3 years and I can book a cruise on it in the future!
Matt! Meyer Turku recently posted your ship tour to show off their new ship. What a great recognition for you. This just proves to me (and by their post, Meyer Turku agrees) that you are making some of the best cruise news content available. Congratulations from Cheryl and me.
Oh my gosh!!!! We have to get on this ship! We plan to do a huge grad party in May/June 2026 for 2 of our munchkins who will have earned Icon! Matt, you did such an amazing job with your crew showcasing Icon. Ahhh, can't wait to be there!!!
I wish I could watch this now but I have my first cruise on the voyager soon and I don't wanna ruin the little fun I'm gonna have by wishing I was on the Icon LOL
Ahhh I can’t wait to go on this ship! We got free offers for a balcony room from the casino royale for April and May (were big cruise gamblers) and we were looking to do an extended family vacation for 8 of us but the price point was too high for other group (14k for the family room w/bunk beds) - so were going to do an oasis ship instead. Hoping to get on this next year though! Almost don’t even have to leave the ship on port days! There’s so many food venues and places to relax, amazing! Thank you for this video!
Best real world view of the packages I’ve seen. Thank you for the authentic and fun view along with the factual presentation of the packages. You guys rocked it. #FullOutFun
4:50 you can call the funny seating "concave loungers". I just came up with this on my couch, I 1000% expect full credit for this stroke of literary naming genius!!
I am so looking forward to our family cruise on Feb 10th with Icon. I am looking forward to some quality family time , especially since my oldest daughter is seventeen and soon off to college.
What a great, in-depth tour of this massive cruise ship and everything it has to offer. Was a bit surprised that there wasn't a more detailed run-through on all the accommodation options and what they offer. It's such an important part of your cruise, and what you had felt a bit tacked on at the end.
Wow! So beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I really appreciate it and I hope you have a wonderful day. I didn’t know they had a bagels place on a cruise ships. Can you please tell me where I can get a bagels shop? On what deck are they in? Maybe I can have it. Also, I knew Wind Jammers is a buffet, but is that free of charge? I know it is on deck 15. I didn’t know they have Italian restaurants on a cruise ships. Also, I can buy a something at Royal Caribbean shops. Like shirts, hat, keychains, and else. I can take it home. I am looking forward to seeing you guys in the future. I am so excited for this!
That's one hell of the amazing cruise ship. If I were to go on that ship, I would like to try out the water park. That's just me because I love water parks

i feel your pain. it hurts so badly
I said the same thing when the itineraries were released. Now, I'm waiting to Easter 2025 since.
Yeah same now I have to wait till June 2025, but that’s my birthday🎉
Just cruised Wonder last May and was blown away. Can’t wait to cruise on Icon. This looks amazing
We cruised Wonder prior to the refresh, and it was a blast. Can't wait to do it again and document it all this time.
@@milnjohnmemoirs7777Does it have a night club?
@@sidneyshaw9205 no dedicated night club..
This is your best video yet! Thank you for all the work that went into this. It is amazing
I appreciate the compliment, thank you!
Yes 5 stars I'm definitely going on icon of the seas
Can't wait!!! I don't think I'm going to have enough time to enjoy all the amenities of the Icon in just 1 week😮. Spring break is going to be awesome. 🙌🏼
Wow. What a colorful cruise ship and beautiful.❤
I remember seeing the first reveal video of Icon and I was amazed, we've waited so long for this tour. I wish I could go on icon one day.
Same here, one day I'm hoping to, what a ship, how are RCI going to top this, I mean how big can they go.
Royal Carribean Blog is the best best best, keep up the insanely good work while uploading consistenly! Thank you Matt!
I got so excited when this video popped up. I immediately get in my cruise vibe when I hear your voice. Excited to see the ship in person.
Thank you!
@@RoyalCaribbeanBlog ok

"Chairpoline" is a great suggestion!
That's just what they looked like to me.

Icon is definitely the start of a new cruising era,it’s so jaw dropping 🎉😮😊
Overwhelmingly excited! These cruises should be more than 7 days to enjoy the entirety of the ship.
Once again, you all did a FABULOUS job! I feel like I was there with you!! You're making me yearn for another cruise!!!!
Yay! Thank you!

Thank you very much!
Think about all the emissions

I was being pretty cynical going into this tour about Icon.... but wow... I'm totally impressed... I can't wait to GO!!!
I went to a college with around 7,000 students. The fact that the ship can hold the population of my school plus thousands more is shocking and incredible
The extra thousand is for college staff, so everyone can go. :)
Thank you! For a video this long you really should put chapters
Just added chapters!
@@RoyalCaribbeanBlog Thank you so much!!!!!

Thank you!
The moving palace, one of the wonders of the world.👍👍👍
Remarkable ship… we did Oasis a few years ago and loved it… looking forward to doing Icon in a few years when the prices come back to earth!
🤣"when the prices come back to earth!" Hilarious!!!
Love Central Park!
Great job Matt! Vid quality is exceptional....loved the detail. Can't wait.....and thanks for slowing down a little! LOL
You noticed that too? AGREE ⚓💯
Excellent review! Thank you Matt!⛵
My pleasure!
I went on icon of the seas it was amazing I loved the pool slides and surf side ( surf side is a kiddy area)
Thank you great tour
wow great atmosphere
Fantastic tour of the ship! We'll be saving our pennies to hopefully sail her in a couple years.
You know i saw the time of this blog and i was like OMG how long - BUT i watched every single second and loved it even saying wow a few times. Such details and depth is what others miss and i loved it. She is amazing
Going on Icon in June! Cannot wait to do the Crowns edge!!!!

Tomatoe tomato, same thing.
The ship looks awesome. So why were so many people sitting around staring at their phones? You’re on vacation guys…🤣
Right why not explore, go to the pool, go to the buffet, even make friends they just stare at their phones like they can’t do that after , everytime i go to a cruise ships we get our electronics taken away and they stay at home except My parents for pictures and other stuff you have to do on the phone
There's seriously so much to do there's no time for phones. I went on Allure for 7 days and even that I didn't need to be looking at my phone
This was the inaugural sailing for the ship, and the people invited were travel agents and travel influencers. The majority of these people were working.
Simple. Money
Awesome review! I can’t wait to cruise this one… I’m overly excited! Thanks!
Fantastic video! Right up there with all the best horror movies. I watched it in awe of how the SAD is not just causing obesity but mobility issues. Well done for capturing all the anxiety inducing elements of a floating Hell. Just imagine this ship with a full complement of passengers! Petrifying!
This ship is amazing. I can't believe how every venue looks so different than what I'm used to
Awwww…..so beautiful and refreshing to see such a gorgeous demographic of travelers❤️. My type of people. I’m going to have a blast.
Dyamm.. its like a whole documentary.. captivated till last.. thank you man..
Glad you liked it!
Aloha I love the colors mahalo for the tour
Great video Matt! I’ve been following this ship since I heard about it Summer 2023. Hoping the prices will go down in the next 2-3 years and I can book a cruise on it in the future!
Very Amazing
Great video Matt!
Glass shower doors! WooHoo!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. I would love to see a in depth video of the making of a cruise ship and the steps involved.
im getting ready to go next year for a cruise on this wonderfull ship I knew my patience would pay off."
I got my Icon ship model! It’s beautiful! Added it to my collection. I posted an unboxing video of it. A collectors dream!
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE GYM!! ❤
You're welcome!
Matt is always quick with it! Really big Thanks to always being the first with the the best content.
I appreciate that!
cant wait! my mom is on right now for the preview! we are all going may 25
6-7 days on this ship is not enough, I would need about a month to explore all of these great things! My God! lol
You could never do everything in one trip. You'd have to pick and choose what you want to do. lol
Or, just combine back to back cruises?
Every space was well done.
Great video and an amazing ship!
Great video Matt, kudos to you and your team!! What a beautiful ship!!
Thanks a ton!
I just returned from a cruise on Independence of the Seas over a week ago. I might try Icon next year!
Great tour. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video and very informative ❤😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

Any time!
This is the best tour of all of them!! Very informative.
This cool i love it ❤❤❤❤
Well done!!!....but how many times do you have to say Royal Caribbean in one video?
We are in an Icon Loft Suite in August and I can't wait to do it ALL!!!
Enjoy being crammed in with 10,000 other people.
We expect to! Thanks!!! @@jaengen
I’m desperate to cruise on this ship. In all honesty, I’m desperate to live on this ship! 😊
Really nice video!
This was epic. I’m sitting here drooling over this ship. I can’t wait to sail on it. This year we’re doing Utopia. Next year, maybe this.
All cool . no ta word about the rooms
congrats on the first icon tour video!
Thank you!!
Just returned from a week trip on Icon, I spent most of my time lost, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Very beautiful ship but long long lines everywhere.
You can't do like reservation? So you can see what you can do for the day or something? Planning on a trip soon.
Excellent Presentation. Confirming my forever feelings about cruise ships; that I never want to be on one.
What a great, in-depth tour of this massive cruise ship and everything it has to offer.
Was a bit surprised that there wasn't a more detailed run-through on all the accommodation options and what they offer. It's such an important part of your cruise, and what you had felt a bit tacked on at the end.
We don’t usually include it because there’s so many different varieties of cabins. The tour is more about the public venues.
@@RoyalCaribbeanBlog Fair enough. Will you be doing a post just on all the cabin options? Would be great to see what they have to choose from.
Are kids free
Amazing RC Blog team. Spectacular video.
Thank you very much!
Been on a few
cruises with r/c this new shipped is unbelievable would love to take a trip on it we thought oasis was great.
O ICON OF THE SEAS seria um sucesso na temporada de.Verao do Brasil.
Absolutely amazing coverage Matt Bravo 👏🏽
