Yes, all Icon are excluded.

Looked at the current sailing on the app. Under classic soda package it states you can use the cup at any bar, in the MDR or Windjammer. No mention of the machines. None show up on the deck plans in the app either.

This is why I wear an analog watch set to ship's time.

We had Michael on two cruises and he was terrific on both. Also had a great talk by Libby Riddles, the first woman to win the Iditarod.

Bed should be by the bath based on the placement in 9258.

I bring 5's and 10's for drink tipping on a cruise, I tip myself every time I fill up at the freestyle machine. When I've made enough I go "invest " it at the casino. 🤣 Everyone else has given you some great advice.

We were on the same cruise. Those extra sea days really got to my wife. Fortunately she really enjoyed the craft classes they ran on sea days.

Found a video of 9258 that shows no obstructions and a photo of the port side of the ship looks clear as well.

Closest I found, shows the top of lifeboats. Hope this helps

True, but I was referring to the ones on Emerald deck at the front (not forward facing). These have a solid railing and are large balconies. I should have mentioned cabin numbers (E107 etc) when suggesting to book one as an alternative.

Absolutely correct, which is why I suggested booking one of the balconies at the front (not forward facing) that has a solid railing not a lifeboat as the obstruction. I should have specified the cabin numbers I guess. i.e.E107 or E108 etc.

The forward obstructed balconies on that deck have solid railings. That is the only obstruction and the balconies are oversized. Consider booking one of those.

My original Motorola brick was built like a tank. Salesman demonstrated it by throwing it across the store by the antenna. You could have run it over with a truck.

Had cabin E107 on Discovery. Great oversized balcony that was obstructed because the railing was solid metal instead of clear.

Used them 3 times with no issues. Last cruise s we did wait about 30 minutes for a shuttle at terminal G but that's been the longest we've waited.
