Fabulous time by rfarojoye

Sail date: Jul 13, 2024 / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Icon of the Seas

I have sailed on Royal Caribbean cruise lines many times and enjoyed the experience. One of the things I appreciated most was that, once you paid for the cruise, the only additional charges were for alcohol or excursions. However, on the Icons of the Seas, it feels like we are being nickel-and-dimed for everything, even some of the activities. We understand this is a new ship and you’re trying to recover some of your costs, but we paid a significant amount of money for this cruise, and it’s really disappointing that we still have to pay extra for so many things. You need to change the way you are charging your customers.

Great Caribbean Cruise experience on the largest ship in the world by tcsetter

Sail date: Jul 13, 2024 / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Icon of the Seas

The ship is huge and plenty of room to roam around the ship. It does get crowded at all pools, so only wish is for the ship to have larger pool areas. Food was good and shows were excellent.

Amazing ship but ports not so much by jhm0305

Sail date: Jul 13, 2024 / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Icon of the Seas

Best ship board experience if they tweak the ports a little and fix the swim up bar this would be a perfect cruise.

Book your shows ahead of time, you'll be happy that you did, other the venues are full and to get the best seats at Aqua Dome water show go at least an hour prior to start

Explore the full ship on Day 1 to make sure you don’t miss out on all the great things the Icon has to offer.

Children must be 48 inches tall to enjoy the water slides on the ship and at Coco Cay. Also, if you are not staying in a suite, bring your own bath products. They combine everything (body wash and shampoo) in one dispenser. There is nothing else provided in the cabin and they stock it with only one bar of soap for the sink.
