To view them on our Samsungs click on a .mov.  It will download to your phone .  To view it go to pics and play.   To convert it to a mp4 on your Samsung hit edit, trim off a bit or adjust color a little and save.  The saved video will be a mp4 copy. 

With all that said it's much easier to view when it's posted as a mp4.  All can see mp4.

Much easier to view after you do the conversion for me.☺️

The Pub has a modern look to it. I'm not so sure I like that.

I know, an English Pub should look like an English Pub, that is what makes it so quaint.

"This is not Rover" 😂

Wondered why they just didn't name him Rover and the mascot something like Clover...

It appears that the milkshakes on the counter are display (aka not real) milkshakes.

Oh yes, I knew that😁  They still look delicious!!😁  I wouldn't say no to a real one right now!!😉

Was the Maine Lobster a full lobster or tail?  Either way, Yum!

Tail as usual.   Medium size.

The Overlook Pods aka whirlpools in the Aquadome.

 

 

Okay that reminds me of those Poconos honeymoon suite champagne glass tubs! Fun!

IMO, they should pay someone $49K to wear that.  😄

I can only see Flavor Flav when I see this monstrosity.

Thank you, @Ozark_Kid and your wife, for taking time to measure the distances from the floor, etc., of the chiller in the OVB accessible cabin. Still kind of low for us, but if we can sail on Icon, we’ll figure it out!  
 

Gotta get with a TA to check on prices.  Right now doing a dummy booking for next spring on the website, is just too, too much. Maybe by 2026, after Star has started sailing.   This ship looks so amazing! 
 

We were on the Quantum inaugural from New Jersey in 2014, too. Very underwhelming!  But, we do love Anthem. Time to sail on her again!  It’s been a few years!

[Jasukkie]

Thank you digital media providers! I doubt I will ever book on this ship but it does look amazing. I do really like the more modern, colorful finishes throughout the ship. Except for the English pub, that does seem odd. I don't want to say never but the price will have to come down a lot for me. Glad to live vicariously through those of you onboard.

Sorry if I missed this in a prior post.  How is the wifi?  Anyone done  speed test?

 

 @cruisinghawg How long did it take to upload those videos?

 

Cheers 🍻  Someone have a Tito’s Mojito for me! … or 2 😉

i have to convert to mp4 and that takes about 3 minutes for a 1 minute video.  Then download takes about 3 minutes so 6 to 7 minutes total.

oh and @cruisinghawg is using DW handle for now.

Last night’s moon shine from our cabin window

 

But first, cannot overlook the moon (on the left) photo bombing The Overlook.

 

Sunrise this morning 

 

 

We have company in port.  The AIDA

These boats were going around in circles welcoming us to St. Kitts

You are getting really nice moonlight pictures. What are you using to take them with?

[fla33023]

Oh, my. Your sunrise pics are absolutely beautiful. While ICON is a beautiful ship and I know everyone is having an amazing time, just being able to wake up on any ship and seeing that sunrise is wonderful. 

[LATTELOVE]

Loving every minute of your postings and photos.

Thank you so much!!

That’s what I was thinking. Something a rapper would wear.

The Royal Bling Shop. High end Royal logo jewelry. The floor is a really pretty gold glitter.

 

 

 

$100,000.00 chalice. They haven't sold any yet.

 

$49,000.00 gold and diamond necklace. I'm not sure if they are really diamonds since I didn't ask

 

 

Wow utter chav bling.....for those who do not know what a chav is 

 

" a young working-class person whose tastes, although sometimes expensive, are considered vulgar by some, usually found wearing all in one matching sports wear". 😅

 

Of course there are other definition's of chavs.......

Hard to do a live without......

Those mooring ropes look surprisingly well used already!

All right, I am going to come right out and say it. Why Wizard of Oz? Seriously we love big productions and Broadway quality but this is an old show I have seen so many times. In other words (cough!) boring!  And if I’m honest, I don’t really love it anyway. I guess you have the option for some stunning visuals with the backgrounds but otherwise I would probably skip it, and we never skip the entertainment and particularly appreciate RCI quality in this area.

 

Maybe in 5 years, it'll be updated to "Wicked". As we all know by now, that's the REAL story! 😉

Oz became public domain a little while ago.  I think that means millions saved in licensing fees.

 

Hope that doesn't mean Star of the Sea's is going to get "Gone With The Wind". Although the burning of Atlanta would be a stunning special effect to see on stage.
