Therefore a few that I will attempt though. On FB look fir cruise director Mitch. A former cruise director who is now an account manager with Royal close to me has done a bunch of great videos. Not everyone does fb Ken. Appreciate anything you can show us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Icon cruises booked right now. I've been busy on another RCG brand. Just had a phenomenal cruise to Antarctica on them and have booked a few more on that line. Turns out I'm more of small ship cruiser although I am sitting on Mariner right now and have two upcoming weekend getaways on Allure. Beyond that I find myself looking at other lines for the price of admission on Icon. I've said it before... if I'm paying luxury rates I'm going to sail a luxury line. Putting my wallet behind that statement. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted January 24 #183 Share Posted January 24 Here's a video of Michael Bayley doing Crown's Edge. It looks like there's a video camera on each harness. Maybe a video is included for the $90?? Knowing Royal, it's probably an extra charge. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll only sail Royal now for multi-generational family cruises. Off to read your Antarctica thread. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I bet he didn't pay. 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KmomChicago Posted January 24 #187 Share Posted January 24 I guess I am not seeing much difference from the free ropes course on Mardi Gras. 🤷♀️ Can’t imagine paying $5 much less $90. I didn’t even ride Bolt (husband and teen did). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted January 24 #188 Share Posted January 24 A few random observations. The new elevators are fantastic. No more throngs of people pushing their way into each elevator then stopping at every floor. The most stops I have made is 2. Waiting an extra minute or two to get an elevator that then makes few stops is definitely a plus. Windjammer is laid out like Wonder. Very efficient, made to order omlettes at the very back, many miss thelis so it doesn't appear to be busy. Bed configuration is yhe same as Oasis class with the cabin on the right side of a connecting pair having the bed by the balcony. This ship does have the closer near the bed like Oasis and Allure to it is a tight squeeze with the bed by the bath so a definite preference for bed by the balcony on this class of ships. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted January 24 #189 Share Posted January 24 $90 for a ropes course? That's insane. I know the economy is booming but there have to be better ways to burn money than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpostman Posted January 24 #191 Share Posted January 24 I can't... but I certainly enjoy trying. You know how the saying goes, If at first you can't, then try and try again. Nice to know that is an option, but we would probably take that for 2. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you happen to see a balcony cabin with the sofa set up for the third person, can you please snap a picture? Curious to see how the sofas open.

NanaPam00 Posted January 24 #195 Share Posted January 24 Random question - we like a cold stateroom - is the thermostat limited to a range of temps, or can you turn it down to, say, 66? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if the Infinite Balcony Central Park balconies follow the same alternating pattern as the Oasis/Oceanview balcony cabins? Also, do you have access to take a picture of these cabins? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt of RCI Blog has a 1+ hour report on Icon. Just about every aspect is covered. $200 pp for Empire Supper Club. Wow. I was totally overwhelmed with what Icon has to offer. The Pearl, the Aquadome are amazing as is the extra wide Promenade. Your own personal impressions would be very welcome in here. This ship truly seems to be a destination in itself. Any Caribbean beach break pales in comparison. I just don't care for the colors. Maybe I have to be there to appreciate it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people lately heard I am cruising again they ask, where are you going? I had to think about it. I told them it's more about the ship. We have been to St Thomas and Cococay enough that we plan to stay on the ship. St. Kitts has been on our itinerary before but got canceled so we plan to get off there. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted January 24 #200 Share Posted January 24 I'll certainly assume the lavish spread at the WJ will go back to the normal offerings by the time we cruise in May....Too bad !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
