Royal Caribbeans icon of the Seas the world’s biggest cruise ship is here and we got a chance for a sneak peek look at what there is to do on board this ship and share with all of you a first look at Icon of the Seas here we Go hey everyone it’s Matt from Roan blog.com Ro cre icon of the Cities arrived in Miami and I got a chance to get on board the ship for about 7 hours now I is not ready to set sale yet the new ship is still getting some finishing touches some adjustments and tweaks not
To worry it’s going to be ready for its inaugural sailing on January 27th 2024 but in the meantime Royal kban invited us to go check out the ship walk around explore and see the ship firsthand so I wanted to share with you this first look at Icon don’t worry we’re going to have
A full ship tour coming out when the ship launches but in the meantime here’s what you can expect starting off with the Royal prominade when you board icon of the Seas you’ll walk through the 1400 bar right onto the Royal prominade and the Royal prominade is different than
Other Roy promad you found on other Royal cruise ships it is two levels with lots of entertainment shopping found in each corner of the prominade it’s wide it’s big and it’s two real full decks and essentially it’s like the traditional Royal prominade mixed with the esan mixed with celebrity it’s
Really cool now the Pearl is your welcome moment and there’s been a lot of talk about the Pearl ever since we knew about icon of the sea so what is the Pearl the Pearl is your welcome moment Ro Corin wants this to be this wow moment when you walk on board and you
See the ship and you get on there and your jaw drops because you see this massive three deck High incredible object so the Pearl basically serves as this opportunity for you to come in and see something that’s really going to take your breath way starting off the entire cruise it’s not necessarily
Anything more than a great photo op and something to check back out and it’s a really cool place to just basically start off your cruise and get that wow moment off the bat behind Pearl is Pearl Cafe so this is the replacement for Cafe prominade essentially and pearl Cafe has
Like cafe prominade coffee and desserts and some treats you can get and Royal C is also offering some grab and go snacks these are prepackaged items you can grab and it’s like you know hummus and carrots or it’s a tuna sandwich something like that you can grab that
And be on your way of course in addition to that there’s also the specialy coffees you can get at the coffee bar at Pearl Cafe just like Cafe prominade now there’s plenty of bars restaurants and shopping on the Royal promin as I mentioned some of which are new some of
Which are holdovers but everything you see here is going to have a new look to it compared to any other ship you’ve been on Roy K has taken every concept and really iterated it here’s sentos the pizza place we’ve seen on so many ships but here it’s massive and the idea is
There’s going to be a better ability to manage lines boleros is huge and open in fact all the venues here especially the entertainment venues are wide and open the idea is for the Royal prominade to be far more inviting and you can have more energy here in the Royal prominade
So when you go to the Schooner bar when you go to the pub when you go to boleros there’s going to be a lot of energy in music and you can see here less walls less constrictive and they want this to be a more open space and I love the
Design elements to these areas to really make them feel fresh especially the new areas like here’s Dueling Pianos dueling pios is a brand new concept it’s a new venue that’s going to have well two pianos play against each other with different music every evening it’s be really really cool Giovani is a tellan
Kitchen is also in the real prominade now so that’s a specialty restaurant right on the prominade and I really like the feel of this area there’s a lot happening here and I think the Royal prominade is going to be a place you go to more so than other ships we’re going
To head down to the casino there’s actually an escalator to get you from the prominade down to the casino in fact the connectivity between decks let’s say four five six and seven is really impressive on the ship you can easily get to the casino from the Royal prominade via an
Escalator and you’re going to find a lot of staircases and escalators getting you between these decks it’s really nice also something brand new on icon the SE are destination elevators so icon doesn’t have traditional elevators here you’ve got to go and you may have seen this in some land Resorts you pick the
Deck you want to go to on a panel it tells you which elevator to go to and then you go into that elevator and it takes you there in the elevator there’s no buttons to push because you already told it where you want to go it may
Sound weird but after about two times you’ll totally get the hang of it next up is Central Park Central Park Is Not A New Concept but it is definitely a refreshed concept on icon of the Seas I love the flow of this area I love the colors and just how pretty this area
Looks so this is a park within the cruise ship and this was first introduced on the Oasis class ships but here on icon you have the best of what that Oasis class ship feeling has plus enhancements you’ve got some new venues here and it’s just a really pretty area
With lots going on I love the fact that you’ve got these Shutters on the Central Park facing balcony rooms which is a really nice touch I think it makes it feel a little more lived in and and makes it feel a little more urban-like
If you will so let’s take a look at what you can find that’s in Central Park and starting off with aumi in the park so isumi is moved up to Central Park on icon of the Seas and isumi is traditionally the Japanese restaurant and we’re going to start off with
Actually having a walk up window this is a brand new idea where if you want to get sushi on the go which is a very common thing you can do that in addition there’s Tepanyaki tables and lots of other dining options there Sushi you got
It Park Cafe is our next up Park Cafe is a complimentary venue means you can grab here for breakfast and lunch and enjoy food like sandwiches and salads and it’s available for you with no additional cost there’s going to be lose Jazz and Blues which is new jazz club brand new
Concept coming to icon of the Seas there’s no cost to go in here of course drinks will cost you extra but but this is a new Jazz love entertainment venue to enjoy Ro really feels strongly about jazz music and the park atmosphere chops Grill returns to icon of the Seas
Signature Steakhouse is a specialty restaurant which means it costs extra to die near and chops Grill is available in fact we’ve already spotted a new menu coming to chops Grill on icon we’ll have more details about that when the new ship launches but looks pretty darn cool
And I love the Aesthetics of it again this is an old concept with a brand new look to it I really like what they’ve done here trellis bar is of course a bar on icon of the Season Central Park and tris bar is going to have a food menu in
Addition to drinks I have not seen the food menu yet but I’m excited to see that option coming there as well as we’re going to walk through Central Park you’re going to see lots of seating lots of areas sit down and enjoy and be there and of course with trellis bar the idea
Is that you’re going to enjoy your time especially in the evenings I love hanging out there next up is Bubbles the Champagne Bar where you’ll be able to get champagne and bellinis and other champagne based drinks as you go the idea is that it’s casual it’s easy to be
Able to grab one be on your way and there you go there’s also some shopping in Central Park different designer and Name Brand jewelry and accessories that you can purchase here so if you’re into buying jewelry or a souvenir or an expensive ring watch bracelet I’m not
Even sure you can purchase it in Central Park I think of all the neighborhoods on icon of the SE Central Park really impressed me the most because I maybe have had the least expectations for it being a venue that already existed but it’s a really pretty area and I loved it
More than I thought I would next up is Surfside which is the new family neighborhood on icon of the sea so Surfside if you’ve been on Oasis CLS looks like an oasis class Boardwalk area but it’s been totally revamped re-enhance I mean other than the layout everything else is new about Surf Side
So the idea about Surf Side is that it’s a place to go with your kids to enjoy time together here Royal Kion says it’s AED at the six and undercrowl year-olds would enjoy that as well but the idea is that this is a self contained dedicated neighborhood for
Families to go to to enjoy time you’ve got Splash Away Bay baby bay and a pool for their parents at the very back of the ship there’s also a lot of new dining venues like Surfside Eerie which is complimentary it’s an opportunity for you to eat over here and have kind of a
Buffet restaurant so that way families don’t need to go very far to get a meal again the idea is making everything convenient families don’t have to go from one end of the ship to the other end in order to find something to do eat or whatnot and the nice thing about
Surfside eery again is that it’s very convenient located right by and some of these snacks looked really really good I got to admit within Surf Side are new staterooms that Overlook the area and a lot of these rooms are actually family seate rooms that are designed to accommodate four five even six
Passengers which is really neat Roy also has a carousel here in Surf Side and this Carousel unlike the ones on other Oasis classs a little more juvenile looking and the idea here is that it’s very familyfriendly very inviting to the young families to enjoy the carousel is
Complimentary as well so you can go on here’s many rids as your kidss want to go to no problem at all there you got Surf Side bites which is a grab and go food venue this is complimentary as well so if Surf Side eery is more of a sit
Down meal if you will not really but more so than this restaurant anyway Surf Side bites is where you can go just grab something and be on your way maybe your kids are still in the pool you want them to have something to eat you grab there
And be on your way sprinkles ice cream is available here as well sprinkles ice cream is complimentary and it’s your on demand soft Sur ice cream that you can enjoy as many times as you want good luck to telling your kids they can only have at least one because they’re going
To want more than that there’s also the arcade and the arcade does cost extra to play here but if you want to you can take your kids and they can enjoy a variety of games in the arcade and every game is per game cost so you swipe your
C pass card and then you play the game there and of course you get charged each one depends on which game you choose but really within Surf Side there’s a lot of cool Aesthetics to it’s a really beautiful space and I love how bright in
Fact all of icon of the Seas really is very bright very colorful I think it’s a beautiful ship and here’s a look at Splash Away Bay Splash Away Bay is the Aquatic Park for kids to enjoy there’s slides and there’s you know geysers and there’s a drench bucket
And the idea here is for kids to get as wet as possible they run around they get to Splash each other and probably going to scream a little bit and just enjoy their time this has been a huge hit on other Roy cruise ships and here on icon
The Splashway Bay area has been reimagined again to be more expansive and offer more for the kids to do and of course be able to accommodate more children as well it’s really neat seeing all these places and being on the back of the chip what great views here I’m
Not sure the kids will necessarily care but as an adult you can because you can enjoy this special pool at the back of the ship again when you get to be able to hang out here you can observe your kids in Splash Away B wave to them yeah
I see you honey of course I saw that okay and then back to enjoying your time at the pool there’s also chairs if you don’t want to get wet but still want to obviously monitor your kids that’s there as well the lemon post bar is a mommy
And me bar that’s what ran says the idea here of course is that you can order a drink for you and your kids to enjoy together now to be clear you can go to any realan bar and order a virgin non-alcoholic drink for your children but the idea here is that there are
Specific drinks designed for families meaning that there’s not just like the standard like okay a surle temple they wanted to come up with drinks that your kids would want to try and enjoy so the idea is you get a cocktail for yourself and then you get a non alcoholic
Cocktail for your kids and you can enjoy it together again the whole concept of cide is not just creating a kids area it’s creating a family area Pier 7 is a brand new restaurant concept and it’s available for an extra cost of dine here it’s a third dining option in Surfside
And essentially it is going to serve an all day brunch with items like Surf and surf tacos mango lime shrimp tadas smok salmon Benedict and fluffy buttermilk pancakes being on the back of the ship you’re also going to find some rooms that look out to the the back it’s a
Really nice area all right let’s take the destination elevators all the way up we got to go up to the top deck and check out some of the top deck Thrills and chills on icon of the sea starting off with thrill Island thrill island is
Where you’re going to find well a lot of things to do to keep you busy and excited and of course Category 6 the new water park coming to Icon theas is available here all the water slides in fact there are six of them hence the name category six and the idea here is
That you’re going to be able to enjoy all these water slides there is no additional cost for the water slides you just got to get in line and enjoy it and there’s drop slides and racer slides and a raft slide this looks absolutely amazing I can’t wait to try it out I
Didn’t bring my bathing suit on this day and I regretted it when I saw that these slides were open I could have gone on them oh I wish I had brought my bathing suit but I can’t wait to try this out when I go on icon of the se’s because
These slides look incredible it’s not just you know we have a water slide we have two water slides this is six it’s a true water park it feels that way and there’s plenty of seats all around there to enjoy if you want to be out in the shade observing or whatnot now in
Addition to the water slides in thrill water park there’s plenty of activities as well as you’re going to notice there is a mini golf course and R GRE has always tried to continue to push its mini golf course design to be like you know originally it was just literally a
Green and that was it and now you really have this like sunken treasure area where it’s like looks like you’ve been lost in a marooned area again category six right that’s the name of a hurricane you’re in a water Park anyway that’s the idea behind the mini golf there is a
Flow Rider surf simulator on icon of the Seas there’s one on here and again you get to try body surfing or stand up surfing as you see fit there’s a basketball court and the basketball court kind of doubles as also a pickleball court and volleyball and soccer depending on the time of day
Rooll can reconfigure this area to do different kinds of things it’s a very popular option with a lot of especially pickleball these days now crowns Edge is a brand new concept as well this is like part ropes course part thrill Ride part falling off the side of the ship it’s
Kind of weird the idea is that you walk along this ropes course and then you slide down the end there is an additional cost to go on Crown’s Edge no I didn’t try it but it’s kind of a cool little thing to check out base camp is
One of the eateries in thrill Island base camp is both complimentary and cost extra there’s a subset of menu that costs extra and subset of menu that is included but this is a place to grab a bite te while you’re in thrill on I think real really envisions this as
Being a place that you’re in the water Park you’re doing all these fun things but you want to get something to eat without going all the way back to say the Wind Jammer or somewhere else so you have this opportunity here and I got to say the pretzel bites were very really
Good deserted milkshake bar is also available in thrill Island deserted milkshake bar is where you can get some really impressive milkshakes not just like a milkshake like you traditionally know these are over-the-top milkshakes with like a donkey pinata and chocolate and brownies and strawberry I mean it’s
Just over the top is really the name of the game here unfortunately no it’s not including in your drink package AG but hey if you’re going to go for over the top go over the top with this kind of area thrill Island looks to be a really
Cool thing I think the younger kids will be down in Surf Side and the older kids will be hanging out in thrill Island because there’s a lot to and also their parents I want to go there another neighborhood that’s brand new an icon is the Hideaway The Hideaway is kind of
This beach club Vibe roller cre actually calls it more of a Las Vegas pool party Vibe and I can see why here the idea behind Hideway which by the way is complimentary to enjoy although you could pay extra for like beds here but the thing about this is It’s a suspended
Infinity pool on the back of the ship for you to enjoy sunbathing and just being out on the ocean on your cruise ship of course and enjoying some fantastic views being this high up on the back Ro has never really done a pool on the back of the ship and now you have
Two of them down in Surfside and here in the Hideaway and this infinity pool is stunning I mean the weather wasn’t super great on the day we visited but I got to tell you I love the view over here it was just I would love to spend more time
Here in fact the Hideway has it own bar which I am really looking forward to spending some time here more so maybe you don’t even need to hang out in the pool you don’t want to get wet come out here this is really reminds me a lot of
Celebrity in the Sunset Bar they’ve got on their ships it’s really really neat so I think I’m going to spend a lot of time in the highway more so than I thought I was going to in addition to of course the pool and the bar there’s lots
Of seating again some of the seating you can reserve ahead of time that costs extra but other seating is complimentary for you to enjoy so I was really impressed by what this area looks like and I’m really curious to see the flow that’s really one of the big questions I
Have about icon of the SE is flow it’s like where are people going to gravitate towards where will it be more crowded or less crowded or more in demand Less in demand it’s be a very interesting concept to see but I love how much variety there is and how much choice you
Have and where you spend your day and I think there’s a lot more choices than I ever anticipated especially seeing it here in person on icon next up is Chill Island so we went from thrill Island to chill Island and chill island is where you can go to of course relax now keep
In mind by the way that chill Island was one of these areas of the ship that Ro was still working on and still developing it meaning construction is done but they were still like unpacking chairs and rearranging things so not all the areas are quite complete but it’ll
Be ready for the inaugural selling don’t worry about that at all swim and Sonic is a swim up bar this place is going to be hot this place is going to be the busiest pool I’m calling it now it looks amazing to hang out here but the idea is
Kind of like the Oasis Lagoon at perfect day of CoCo Key brought on a pool I I mean I would spend all my I me if I could it looks really really cool there are also citos you can rent that cost extra by the way the swiming tonic is
Complimentary the pools are all complimentary although like with the case of the citos you can spend a little bit more to splurge and enjoy if you see so fit there’s also a dry slide to get you from one of the decks of the pools to the other one kind of a fun little
Excuse for kids to go down there not much more than that eloa fresh is available on the pool deck as well in shill Island El ofresh is a complimentary grab and go Mexican restaurant you’ve got quesadillas tacos burritos what I love about alcal fresh is I can take you know the core food
That they give you like a taco or burrito and then customize with the salsa station it’s so good I love overloading those things there of course hot tubs and roll pools there’s a lot of places to hang out in chill Island and so I think you’re going to find plenty
Of opportunities there Cloud 17 is the adult only pool area coming to icon of the SE so there’s no salarium and icon instead there’s Cloud 17 this is an adult only area for Guess 18 and above but unlike the salarium which is always at the front of the ship this is on a
Different part of the pool deck and the idea is it’s an enclave away from the action can is not as busy as thrill line by any means but it’s more of an adult only area to enjoy and it also has its own area for the lime and coconut the
Lime and coconut is I think three decks and the third deck hits up here at Cloud 17 and it’s really just meant for adults to be able to enjoy their time away from everybody else they have their own pool and of course being able to just not be
Near children by any means so if you’re an adult this might be your place for you we now have the sweet neighborhood and the sweet neighborhood is one of the other neighborhoods on board so if you’re saying in a grand sweet or above sorry Junior sweet guest you get to
Enjoy the benefits of being in the sweet neighborhood so this is an area that’s going to have a couple different elements first of all you have a sweet Sund deck and this is a Sund deck reserved just for sweet guests to go to and enjoy chairs and loungers and uh
These citas that you can enjoy this by the way here in the sweet Sund deck everything you see here in the citas and all that’s all included not to worry there’s also the Grove which is a new buffet restaurant just for sweet guests and it’s located right on the sweet Sund
Deck and then you have Coastal Kitchen so Coastal Kitchen is a sit down restaurant available for breakfast lunch and dinner and I love how beautiful it is in here it’s really pretty It overlooks the Aquadome I this is fantastic course this is a sit down restaurant The Grove is
Kind of a grabbing go Buffet the idea here is if you’re a sweet guest you have a place to go and just enjoy your own special area I mean it’s not to say that you have never want to leave this is not a ship within a ship concept that other
Allines have but it’s the closest world has ever gotten to it by offering more for sweet guests within a limited area and the views out to the Aquadome is just fantastic let’s move down to the Aquadome which is a new neighborhood this area is so impressive so Royal car
Literally put a huge Dome over the front of the ship to enclose a number of things starting of course with the aqua theater so the aqua theater is available on a waste of clash shs but instead we’re going put it indoors here under the aqua Dome this is where you’ll be
Able to find diving shows and the aqua theater never disappoints I love the shows in here it’s truly impressive and I think they’ve always done a great job with this I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product when it goes in here but when you walk into the Aquadome
You’re just going to be impressed it’s going to be like one of those like wow I can’t believe they built this year the scale of it is absolutely phenomenal it’s hard to convey in a video just how big this area is but it’s absolutely beautiful and the great thing about
Being enclosed for the aqua theater you don’t have to worry about the weather elements canceling a show at the front of the Aquadome is the overlook this is a new Lounge area a place to kind of hang out chill and I I think this is
Also going to be a very big hit whether you want to bring a book or you want to talk with your friends or grab a drink there’s some really cool areas in Nooks to hang out here it’s a great spot very different from the rest of the ship and
That really makes it sand down I love the fact that there’s a bar here as well you have to go very far to grab a drink and the best part about the Overlook are the nooks and some of the pods you’re going to see here they’re going allow
You to have kind of a special place for you and your friends and family to hang out and feel like you got your own special space right I think it’s a really pretty area right in the front of the ship enclosed by the Aquadome it’s
Really pretty and just a nice SP to hang out and I think for a lot of people especially on SE days where you want to see the ocean go by this is a great spot for you but if I had to vote for my favorite restaurant that’s complimentary
Aquadome Market probably wins it right now Aquadome Market is a food haul concept the first that real has ever had where you can go to enjoy of course different types of food and it’s all included available here so the idea is you go to different stations you’ve got
Ginger you’ve got mac and cheese you’ve got feta different quis you can grab and then take to a table or somewhere else on the ship and enjoy as to see fit my favorite of course was feta I’m a sucker for good Mediterranean Cuisine and they had that there and I had my pita
Sandwich it was so good and it’s complimentary I love the idea of a food haul concept Ry Caribbean finally introducing one here and there’s seating available here in the Aquadome Market or you can take it somewhere else maybe go back out to the pool deck you see fit
Each of the items served here is on the smaller side so feel free to grab more than one I think don’t try to assume that it’s just going to be one servings going fil up but the nice thing is it’s really good because you get to stop in
One station for you another station for somebody else and there’s plenty to choose from again but I ate lunch I a lot of choices for where to eat I went to Aquadome market for my lunch hooked Seafood is another restaurant hooked Seafood is specialty which means it cost
Extra to D here that’s available on board and they have Roy bling which is a Royal Caribbean jewelry store this jewelry store only sells Royal Caribbean jewelry do you guys think it’s going to be a big hit as in like will it generated a lot of sales I think it will
I think a lot of people are interested in buying Royal Caribbean branded merchandise to see a lot of Royal Caribbean interest anyway so we’ll have to see on that one next up are some of the entertainment areas on icon of course you have the Royal Theater which
Is where the Wizard of Oz is going to be performed as you can see here they’re preparing and getting ready for the show this will be a brand new show in the theater in fact there’s two shows in each of the theaters Wizard of Oz being
The main show here in the Royal Theater it’s absolutely beautiful space and royan always trying to push the boundaries of a theater with any of its new ships so it’s really really cool absolute zero is the ice skating rink unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to
See it because they were doing a big meaning over here but this is the ice skating rink that is going to be available of course this is a different design of the ice skaing rink but when you’re down here there will be two different ice skating shows and in
Addition to that an opportunity to free ice skate during your cruise and don’t worry skates and pads and all that are provided for you so you have to bring that with you back at home it’s a neat area and I definitely recommend checking out the shows here especially the fact
That there’s going to be a different design to the rink is going to be a big deal there’s also Music Hall a TW level area on icon the SE Music Hall is a place to go to to enjoy live music traditionally you’ve got bands perform here and in addition to that they’ll be
Karaoke and there can be trivia held here as well it’s really fun spot it’s more of a club Vibe than other venues but the fact they have live music here with bands really makes Music Hall truly Stand Out playmaker sports bar in arcade is located at the end of the prominade I
Think technically it’s in Surf Side but it’s available for you to go as a extra cost venue that has of course plenty of TVs to catch any of the games going on it’s a sports bar so you’ve got drinks you’ve got food and the food is really
Good here the campfire cookie the nachos the burgers it’s all really good and it’s a great spot to catch the game and also by the way conveniently located near Adventure ocean Empire Supper Club is also one of the new venues this is a brand new $200 a person dinner venue and
This is a supper club not especially restaurant it’s more intimate very limited like they’re doing like one evening performance and it’s going to be something different I’m going to try it out when I go on the inaugural so we’ll have more details about this when we get
Back from that but this is what the new area looks like it’s really really pretty and it’s a very much an upscale formal dining experience brand new to any roing cruise ship there’s a crown Lounge on board not to worry the crown Lounge is of course the Diamond Lounge
What you want to call it that allows us Diamond Diamond Plus and Pinnacle members to have their own special area there’s our derves in the evening there’s a coffee machine here during the daytime and the idea here is that it’s a special place just for Royal K’s top
Tier guest as a thank you for being loyal to Royal there’s the Vitality Spa at Sea and this is of course the spa area there’s both spa and fitness center Vitality Cafe is located here in which you can get at an extra cost different drinks and smoothies and whatnot but the
Spa is about getting massages and treatments and being able to enjoy what the spa has to offer the spa has additional cost for all of its services so keep that in mind before you go here but the nice thing about the spot and I do recommend doing this on any realing
Cruise ship is taking a tour of it so you can see exactly what’s available for you at the spa there’s different treatments and massages and there’s a salon you can go to so if you’re interested in getting these Services I do recommend booking it ahead of time
Especially the salon the to dry for which of course is a blow dry bar you want to make sure you get these things booked ahead of time to be able to get a specific time you want because otherwise I mean maybe you want your massage at
You know 8:00 a.m. on your Port day I don’t I’d prefer more convenient time but you have that here as well and yes there is a thermal Spa on icon to the Seas you can get a thermal Spa pass when you get on board the ship to enjoy your
Time there and there is a fitness center as well on icon so don’t worry you can get your workouts in there let’s take a look at the Wind Jammer the wind Jamir as I like to call it Marketplace this is the complimentary Buffet on icon and it’s available for breakfast lunch and
Dinner and the buffet offers a variety of food over a lot of choices no matter how picky your kids are they’ll probably find something in here I’m going to go on out in a limb that Alexa and Samantha and Aiden are going to be able to find
Something to eat here and keep you guys busy and that way you’ll be able to be on your way and do something else that’s going to be enjoyable and also for parents by the way this not just for kids I mean I enjoy getting food here as
Well the Indian Cuisine is fantastic I love the cooking stations Mongolian Grill the pasta making it’s so so good so wind chamber is a great spot whether you’re going here maybe just on embarcation day where you’re going to come here every single day of your cruise it’s available for all your meals
And it’s a real hit and like Wonder the Seas it’s huge lots of space you don’t have to worry about being cramped real Kion knows that while they’ve got a lot of other really cool dining venues people still like the buffet area and so they wanted to make sure there’s plenty
Of space for you in the Wind Jammer and that’s available on icon of the season love the views out here looking out to Surf Side and up above to Thrill Island if there’s one theme from this visit it’s that how impressed I was with how cool the ship looks now the cabins were
Not available to look at but we man shock somebody just letting us see their cabin this is a balcony cabin standard balcony for two on icon I forgive me I don’t know which category this is exactly but this is your standard balcony room and this is a really good
Preview of what you can expect in your cabin probably big theme Here connectivity there’s so many USB and power outlets it’s really pretty of course R cre always has a modern Motif with its new ships and you can see that here with its cabins on icon I love some
Of the tweaks they made here again having Outlets there’s outlets on both the left and right side of the bed you don’t have to just fight for which side has the one Outlet there’s a USB outlet there I love that fact there’s lots of storage space TV on the wall I think
They’ve done such a good job uh it’s really really nice having that there and there’s even more Outlets by the vanity which is really nice having that again having Outlets may not seem like that big of a deal but it wasn’t that long ago that you had like maybe one or two
Power outlets in the entire cabin and so today with so many devices you want to keep plugged in I think it’s a really big deal having that there otherwise the cabin really looks nice I like the updated colorful light tones that the cabin has and I think that no matter
Which cabin you stay in this is going to be the kind of the motif you’re looking at over in the bathroom there’s a couple tweaks you want to know about first of all there’s actually a seat in the shower which is really nice having that there uh you can actually sit down in
Any of the showers there’s a seat there so again a little more comfort for anybody’s looking to use their shower and enjoy it it’s a bright and beautiful bathroom and vanity and I think they’ve done a great job with the balcony room and I’m looking forward to seeing my
Room whatever the one that is when I get on board icon as well here is a look at the balcony area again just what you need here for a private balcony very nice and this is an ocean facing balcony but no matter what your balcony looks
Like I like that Royal cre is going a little bit different look aesthetic to its furniture and here’s a look at what the cabin looks like hopefully when you get to your cabin you’re going to find it just as nicely appointed and hopefully an enjoyable experience there
You go a look at Icon of the Seas this is a sneak peek again there is more to it we only had like 7 hours to walk around the entire Ship film it and see everything and there’s plenty more to see and we’re going to be able to share
More with that on a future video because we’re going to do a full ship tour when icon launches let me know in the comments below what are you most excited for what stands out to you where do you want to go first when you got an icon of
