WONDERFUL 1st TIME CRUISE by ameliah67

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

TRIP WAS WONDERFUL. Definitely was worth it. I enjoyed all the shows. Our ship was at capacity but it did not feel like it. All the staff is so friendly.

What a wonderful new ship! We didn't care for these ports (Roatan, Costa Maya, and Cozumel) but we liked Coco Cay. We loved the private island. by jkiefer78

This was a great ship. We didn't care for the itinerary but truly enjoyed the ship. Hopefully, they will put a 2nd pool on the Suite Deck on Star of the Seas, as it is definitely needed. The only other thing is the closed off glass doors to the suites cabins - that was a miss in our opinion.

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.
