Embarkation

I was prepared to stand in line & wait patiently. To my surprise, we just walked onto the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The buffet was good, not exciting but it was enjoyable. Sorrento's was THE BEST!!! In my opinion RCL has THEE BEST PIZZA in the fleet! I did get to sample the Hook & Ladder seafood .. IT WAS ASTONISHING!!!! Definitely recommending this to my clients. HOWEVER.. I did not like the set up and the restriction on 'Anytime Time Dinning" (hence the 4 star review) Had 2 bad experiences trying to eat in the main dining by 2 different Supervisors.. finally I was advised that you can only eat on Deck 3 with Anytime and the wait time was very long. Will definitely advise my clients of the policy.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Where can I purchase that mattress! I really felt as though the "twin" version on Icon is larger than the average twin bed. The shower was amazing & the extra perk of the seat in the shower.. I took 3 showers one day just to enjoy the shower lol.. I do recommend the water pressure could be a bit stronger and the water needed to be much warmer.
Ship tip
Take advantage of all the inclusive items! If you purchase the drink package you will be thrilled you did! BOOK THE WIZ OF OZ SHOW!!
Sounds like RCL is putting their best resources into this new ship. They sure are spending a lot on advertising for it. Time will tell if the service and experience stays as top notch in a couple of years. The newest ships always get the best to begin with. Glad it was a great cruise for you.
