This cruise went above my expectations. The service was impeccable. It never felt crowded. Plenty of spaces to hang out. The service from all of the crew was amazing, everyone strives to please the passengers. We truly felt pampered.

The DJ played a variety of music. The shows were Broadway style superb performances.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiters Gusti and Anjuar were exceptional. Our room steward Jason was also exceptional. They made out vacation so much more special.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was impeccably clean. I was just a little taken aback by the Playmakers spot on the ship. You have to walk through it to get to the teen club. Which was annoying at times.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Size was good, the cabin was super clean. I would have liked less shower space to allow for a bigger sink counter. For us the bench in the shower was useless.

Ship tip

Skip a port to explore the many nice areas Icon of the Seas has to offer. It's so big we did not have time to explore all areas.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We arrived a day early, stayed at the JW Marriott and walked too Bayside. Had a great dinner and did some shopping. Great time.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We enjoyed our excursion which was a Catamaran with snorkel and lunch. The water was beautiful. Back at port we did a little shopping.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

We decided to skip this port and enjoy the ship.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We participated in a shore excursion "Maya Ruins and Cenote" I wish we had less time at the ruins and more time at the cenote. Excursion was great!

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Coco Cay is awesome! My husband participated in the Jet Ski tour, and he said it has been the best tour he has done. The tour guides were patient and made sure everyone was having a good time always following the rules.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was seamless. We carried our own lugguage, just because we had an early flight and wanted to make sure we got to the airport on time. We left the ship at 7:30am and by 7:50am we were on the taxi. Super quick.
