- A comprehensive review of Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas in 2024 Eastern Caribbean sailing. Room 12718. Gluten free and Lactose free food options onboard the ship. A review of the Main Dining Room, new free food options, as well as the Royal Caribbean drink package. A tour of itinerary ports. Island of Saint Kitts and Nevis, including the Scenic Railway Tour excursion in St. Kitts. St. Thomas and the Magens Bay, Drakes Pass, and Sky Ride excursion. CocoCay bad weather.

What a fantastic review! Best I’ve seen! Please thank your family for lending you your us for the many hours you unselfishly donated to us all!
Royal Carribean should hire you!!!
Thanks Big Willie Style. I am glad you appreciate the hard work. I hope to keep it up.
Omg.. this review, hands down, the best I've seen. You have an incredible way of describing things. You're a straight shooter, on BOTH sides.. you just say what you think with no extra feelings and let's US be the judge afterward. So good. SOOOOOOOOO good.
Thanks Trey for the kind words. I owe you a cold one 🤣 I hope you enjoyed the other cruise videos on the channel.
Good camera work, and no close ups of yourselves. Very relaxing.
Thanks for watching.
Best review of Icon I’ve seen! Thank you for your great work. Glad you all enjoyed it so much.
This was an amazing video best Icon video I’ve seen! I’ve watched about 15-20 videos of this ship and yours is by far the best!
Thankyou only @cruisewith Ben and David is better 🤣
This review was fantastic, and you even reviewed excursions!! This is the exact cruise that me and my husband and two year old child will be going on. You got a new subscriber from me!!
Thanks for watching!
Loved your humor and honesty! Thanks.
Great review! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Amazing tip on avoiding casino charge
Great review.. pure comedy!
Lol 😂 "It's over! You can stop watching!" dang sir! Why you had to call me out like that! 🥺 feel seen! 🤦🏾♀️😂 Btw great review and tour of the ship. Love your narrating. Very soothing, delightful and informative. On to the next one!
Ha. So you're the one who made it to the end 😀 thanks for watching and the kind words.
@@sol_tropical lol yes I was! I didn't want it to end! 😁 Made for great entertainment while at the gym. You're welcome.
Thank you! Great video!
Great Review
Really great review! you need to do this for more ships in the RC fleet! Thank you for posting it.
Thanks Jim. It is my life long mission to do them all. But I know that's not possible.
"My wife isn´t a light packer" I feel your pain..
Ha!
really great editing!
I have received dozens of praise comments on our several cruise videos but none is more appreciated than this one. Thank you.
Just found your channel and really like your reviewing style. We sailed Icon in April, glad I wasn't the only one underwhelmed by the pearl after all the hype. We also ate at the MDR more on this sailing, and it was really good, especially the jerk chicken. Funny you mirror our story, we also could not justify the current prices to book Icon again or Star, booked on Wonder for a 2nd time in 2025.
Thanks for watching. Yeah we would have loved our next winter cruise to be on Icon, we loved the ship, but the prices are crazy. So Wonder it is!
Great review! New subby here!!
Thanks for the video! What was your sail date?
February 24th
nice!
Love the slot machine hack! Good video! Headed to Icon 3/8/25!
Thanks for watching the whole video. Congrats on your booking. You will love it! You also must be 🤑 rich. Just kidding.
@sol_tropical got a group rate saving 56%. No way we were going to pay those ridiculous prices.
Love your vlog style new subscriber. I would like to get your opinion though, I’m in a surfside balcony, I don’t have kids just mom and I. I can stay on deck 9 on surfside my cabin is the first cabin above the store, or I can move above the eatery on deck 10 still surfside or I can go to an ocean view balcony on deck 12 , 12594. What are your thoughts, lower deck close to everything but can’t enjoy balcony during day due to the noisy area, but close to central and activity areas. The higher means more motion but very prone to motion sickness my mom is, far from areas. What are your pros or cons, in your no nonsense tone.Thank you in advance.
Hate to see it my friend. Did you get that advice ?
Have you looked into booking star of the seas for next year? Prices were still reasonable for the rooms last I looked.
Loved your review, so tired of reddittors being negative Nancy’s about the icon.
Yeah Star's prices are also ridiculous. 6 grand + for a 7 day cruise. Most annoyingly we tried to book Star very early like we did with icon and expected a decent early booking price which has historically always been in place but no the price gouging started day 1. Kinda sad. Thanks for watching!
It's two decks taller than Oasis, that's where the real size difference comes from.
The highest floor for normal people is the 14 floor on both ships. The ships are the same size.
@@sol_tropical The ship is literally taller and wider. Do you think all the extra bars and restaurants and state rooms are just conjured up with a magic wand? They are there because it is bigger. You may "feel" like its the same size but its literally not. It's bigger. The promenade feels wider because it is.
I only paid 1400 for icon of the seas in July
1400 for what? Per person? For 4 people to stay in an interior?
One more point it’s 184 more total for 2 to go to the ocean view balcony, give me perspective plz, I’m so torn.
Thanks for watching and subscring. You couldn't pay me to stay in an interior balcony. The price is so close to an ocean view balcony but it is probably half as good. The ocean view is all about the peaceful ocean views and not seeing other cruisers. Interior Balconies are being in a fish bowl in my opinion. You stare directly across into another cabin and they stare at you. I guess diehard people watchers seem to like them.
As for the height and motion sickness I think that is very overblown. being in the front or back is probably more impactful but I would wager you won't feel the ship moving at all unless really foul weather. If you mother gets motion sickness she will need some product to suppress it regardless. I suggest bonine and take the ocean view balcony. The balconies at Surfside would be a nightmare during the day and while quiet in the morning and evening still no privacy. Good luck.
@@sol_tropical Thank you so much!!! I switched to the oceanview balcony! :)
@@Lannishaven smart. You will have a blast.
@@sol_tropical I was at surfside Deck 11. Had no issue with noise.. probably because I dont have all that time to hang out the balcony. Neither did other guests from across the way. We're always roaming around the ship or eating. Also it has Ocean view from the open rear. It does shake or vibrate at the back tho but not enough to make anyone hurl a couple pints of ice cream.
edit: I actually sailed the same week as you did. We didnt have issues finding a place to sit down by the pool, I guess the right side is less busy.
