I am sailing Icon in October. I just found out that they’re doing the seafood in the Windjammer on embarkation day for the entire first inaugural year. However, I already booked Giovanni’s for lunch for the first day at a good price. 
Is there a way to move my reservation to a different day without canceling it and rebooking it? Really would prefer to just move it since it is a higher price now. 

I want to book a Bermuda cruise for September/October 2025 but our only two choices are Liberty or Vision. 
Which would you choose, and for those that have sailed on them recently, how are they looking?

My husband has only cruised on Symphony and Anthem, with an upcoming cruise on Icon. I’ve also been on Explorer, but it was in 2008. I’m worried he will be bored with not as much to do?

We did the snorkeling package through Daniel Johnson’s Sloths. Honestly the snorkeling in Cozumel the next day was so much better.

All I can say is WOW! I am loving seeing Icon through your eyes! 
 

I had no plans to book this ship. At her current prices I still don’t. If the prices come down enough then I’m in.

 

I hate that Icon is only sailing short itineraries now. There’s way too much to see and do on this ship for 3 or 4 day cruises. Yes, I know I can do a B2B like we’re doing in a couple of months. I’d rather have a 7 or 8 day sailing so I didn’t have to deal with a turn around day.

 

I can’t wait to read the rest of your review! 

It’s doing 7 day cruises. These short cruises were only the preview and shakedown cruises before the first revenue sailing.

When you mentioned the name Adida earlier I thought I recognized it. 

Now I recognize her photo.  She is a ticktocker with some drama/rumors last I saw a week or so ago.

I believe they are @leeharpoon on here.

That is really interesting as it isn't listed on the app or Cruise Planner.  Maybe it is sold out and that is why. I hope that is the case.

 

My sailing isn’t until October so if yours is sooner it very well could be sold out

Does anyone know if their is a microwave for use on Explorer?  My grandson has Autism and likes his routine of popcorn before bed and he only eats microwave.

 

No microwaves.

I don't believe that Icon has Chefs Table. It  has Celebration Table and Empire Club. 

 

It does 🙂

I feel like the shrieking of all the children on surfside will be audible from hideaway?

Touch screens. It’s basically a screen to make it look like moving slots. I hate them, personally. I will go and try to seek out the very few ones with an actual wheel and lever. 

I feel like there used to be a thread like that a few years ago? Maybe I am misremembering.

FYI - On some cruises, Diamond are banned from the Crown Lounge (former Diamond Lounge) during happy hour (normally 5 PM to 8 PM).

Out of curiosity, what if one was in there at like 4:30 and just stayed? Would they notice them and ask them to leave?

Yes.

 

 

Also yes.

 

 

Yes, there are.

I figured there were considering there are children also doing the entire trip. 

I wonder what would happen if a full WCer got pregnant during the first few months. Would Royal kick them off? I ask this as I am rocking my 4 month old cruise souvenir to sleep 🙂

Pretty sure it's free on port days and a charge for sea days.

My bad, I literally even typed out port and backspaced it. I’m tired, lol.

Why give something away for free that people will pay money for?

 

This is no different than North Star.

North Star you can at least do for free on sea days

Here is the menu for Giovanni’s

I appreciate that, but it is Giovanni’s Kitchen, not Giovanni’s Table. Confusing, yes, but the menus are different.

It's in my Cruise Planner.  Did you scroll down far enough?

I did - I could see it for the dinner listing and also for Hooked’s lunch listing. It simply isn’t there.

The app should have both of those- set it to the current sailing, not yours. 

That worked, thanks so much!

the cruise planner has a sample menu

While I see that for Hooked, thank you, Giovanni’s does not - only their dinner menu. 

Sometimes we aren’t out of the cabin early enough for a morning cleaning so they have to come back a little later. I haven’t been on those since they changed to only once-daily cleaning, I feel like I’m going to have to ask the steward for extra towels to make it through the whole day since I use some in the morning and the evening. 

Does anybody have the lunch menu for Hooked and Giovanni‘s Kitchen? Trying to decide if it’s worth it and which one to get. Thanks!

How far ahead do they release itineraries? Looking for September 2025 out of Cape Liberty specifically and just wanted to know when I should start checking.

Is there anything in particular you're looking for?

 

I did November and December 2021 on Anthem to the Bahamas.

Really just want to know what days and times the shows are at as I want to plan my dinner reservations
