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.

It’s not worth the money. I would like a refund because we were unable to enjoy ourselves due to the ship catching fire, the gangway shut down and we were unable to get off the ship and explore the island due to a power outage as well. The buffet had an issue one day and filled with massive amounts of smoke. The alarm went off in the buffet and the emergency gate came down. We were coughing nonstop due to the fumes. We had to rush back to America for an emergency and everyone had to evacuate to the back of the ship during this process. Royal charged my two cabins gratuities and I informed them to remove them so we could tip in cash. They never removed them and we tipped cash. The woman at guest services was not great and did not seem happy. Many staff appeared unhappy and their negative energy affected my vacation!

Book your tours and activities before you sail. If there are sales on the activities or tours you have already booked you can get the reduced rates

Make sure you pre-reserve your shows in the cruise planner. We stayed on the ship at Coco Cay because we have been there numerous times. This ended up being a great idea because we were able to go on the slides at Thrill Island on the ship with hardly any waiting!!!!! Highly suggest doing this because it ended up being a PERFECT DAY!

Make your reservations for the shows and specialty restaurants as soon as you get on the ship or earlier if able to do so. They book up quickly. Also, you can only reserve a show one time and if you miss that time, you must stand by for a later time.

Make sure to book the activities on board the ship in advance & look through all the activities so they don't fill up! They're all are amazing activities!

We didn’t have any kids with us, so we thought the Suite Sun Deck was essential to our trip because it provided a quiet place to lounge outside with chairs readily available. I know it’s not in everyone’s budget, but if you can swing it for a Sky Level or above Suite I do think its worth it for the access you get to the Suite Sun Deck and Coastal Kitchen
