That burger looks awful

New subbie

Nice video 😊

Thank you for the tips! I always try to get maximum value for my trips and get the most bang for my buck (so that I can go on more trips) 😂

Yesss count me in quantum class just hits different

Quick question, can we bring water onboard? I find different answers online.

When you are on ship, Can you buy Deluxe package on daily basis? Vs having to buy it for full sail trip?

Now that my family and I have been to most of the Carribean ports, we chose our cruises based on the ship over the ports now 😊

My first cruise and I came here to learn about the drink packages. I don't drink alcohol and my fiancé might have a an alcohol drink but for the most part doesn't drink it she is more of a water, tea and coffee person. I'm booked for Navigator of the seas in 2025 of July. I'm trying to do this right but hope I am not overthinking this because I'm trying to do it as a surprise for her and she usually does the bookings. Anyone reading this please help me out with advice because this can become overwhelming for a first time person booking a cruise.

Our trip on our first Icon cruise last week was our 48th cruise with Royal - We have been on every ship they have in every class from Sovereign of the Seas on up. - Is it worth the money and all the hype? YUP - booked another right away. 😁😁😁😁

❤ your glasses!

The specifics regarding food and drinks are so informative. Thank you!

We just got off the Beyond on a 7 day. It was our first and found it to be too long and boring for us. Anyway looking to do the key West Cococay next spring. Are there golf carts to get around in key West?

Number of people -- not amount

I love your style of video! Very informative and honest yet quick and to the point. Awesome. I can’t wait to try Uptopia next year. Thanks for sharing your experience

just found your channel...fabulous!

We sail on ACCENT in 5 days. We loved the food on APEX and your video brought back a lot of memories. We thought Eden was outstanding and are going there our first night. Thank you

I envy how much you are able to travel! As always, thank you for the extensive knowledge you bring us!

Thank you for showing us the specific categories! So helpful!

We sailed the Icon of the Seas, 14 - 21 Sept 2024 and it was our best cruise ever. So we are going on the Star of Seas, 7 - 14 Sept 2025. Born to Cruise. Forced to Work.

I am passing on Eden but this confirmed I am booking the steakhouse. I'm leaving in two weeks !! So excited 😊

stop doing wrong and read the bible and believe in Jesus Christ the Son of the living God, only He can forgive your sins and redeem your life and save you from hell!

Loving your very detailed videos! Watched your Icon AND Utopia series. You gave us a lot to think about.

I’m curious to know how the dining package works on the icon since there’s so many walk up places

Hi, you brigns very good information, If we want to purshase the refreshment package need to be purshased by all us or could be purshased only for one person of the cabin ?

You now can now get beer but you have to upgrade your all inclusive price to an extra 30 dollars for everyone in your party, You get better liquor choices but the extra 30 dollars is not worth it, I cant drink enough beer to justify the 30 dollars additional to the all inclusive price, The liquor choices are better, however they do not physically have any upgraded triple sec - Grand Marnier etc - so the margaritas are not noticeably different. I you want a beer or two, just pay for them al la cart, otherwise save your money, the regular drinks are really good.

Hi! Does everyone on your itinerary have to get the package if you get it?

When someone causes an issue that a pool needs to be closed down 4 times. It's time those people get banned for life. I'm sick and tired of going on a trip, and someone has to ruin it for everyone else.

I heard Basecamp now only offers FREE items.

You had me at Gyros.

We went on Icon the week of September 7th and it was honestly fun overall. One thing we learned that the tail end of the summer was one of the hottest times of the year to go. So if we go again we'll plan on the end of the year when it will be a little cooler. Food overall was awesome... we loved Izumi, Aquadome Market, Pearl Cafe and the dining room. The shows were awesome, especially the Aquadome water show and Dueling Pianos. We would also goto Boleros when the singer was there. I wasn't impressed with some of the bars since some shared the same drinks and they weren't made the same way every time between them, even though they were supposed to be the same. We learned if we wanted a specific drink that we would go to that specific spot. Another downside was people being respectful of people who used scooters or had some physical handicap. I say this since my wife had to use a scooter on the cruise and honestly some people "lived in their own world" and wouldn't move or block areas where you knew that was a walking/get around path along with what I called "Russian Roulette" with the elevators trying to get on. When we would go for dinner on the last 3-4 times to the main dining hall, my wife skipped using her scooter since it was always a fight to get her on and she wound up using her Tada Seat/Cane because it took us anywhere 10-15 minutes or longer to get an elevator that had room for the scooter and the chaos of going from one elevator to the next to see if it was open when we couldn't get on. One big thing we learned was if you have food allergies, I would recommend getting with the restaurant staff or guest services at the start of the trip since that was another issue... learning experience there. But again, overall it was a very fun experience to be on the worlds largest cruise ship.

How much do you suggest tipping your waiter?

Can I ask you what port you were at because when I look up where we are porting at Puerta Maya it didn't seem like it was that far to the taxi thing and it was underneath a thatched hut open area.

Is it still worth it if you are a suite guest? You get some included drinks with that - in the lounge. Thx

Guys, your time of year cruise advice con really applies to ANY family themed vacation. It's not just limited to Icon. Also, we experienced the "accident" in the pool situation while on Coco Cay in their adult only area Hideaway! Some drunk adults don't act any better than the kids! With that said, we agree, Icon is awesome!! Can't wait to go again!

Heading to the icon on Oct 11! Great review! I love kids but booked in Oct hoping to not have thousands of them onboard. I feel like it won’t be too hard to limit kid time. I was kinda concerned that there would not be any shade in the hideaway ..so that sucks a bit..I will just have to enjoy it in short bursts.

Another good review. Thanks

Nice informative video. Thank you.

How often should you check the website for sale prices ?

Many people talk about how many drinks are needed to get your money's worth, but I think this misses a key feature of the drink package decision. Sure, I would spend less without the package ---- but only because I would deprive myself. I would constantly stress over whether or not I wanted to spend the money --- each and every time I might possibly want a drink. By the end of the trip I would've spent less, but I also would've enjoyed myself less - with countless drinks not bought, and a handful reluctantly bought. I do enjoy drinking, and so I opt to spend the money up front - and know that I'm now free to drink whatever I want, whenever I want. For me it's not so much about breakeven points or getting my money's worth. It's about paying for the vacation I want to have.

Another great video! For the wifi I got the basic one do you think that’s good for text messaging, calls, and FaceTime calls? Just want to be available for our daughter to get a hold of us lol. We also got the drinks package but want to change it to non alcoholic package could we do that? Thank you!

I enjoyed watching your food tour! Lots of yummy food. I will be on the Ascent next year for my 40th birthday. I have a question, is there for available all hours of the day? Or only certain times? I have the late dining time (only one available) will I be able to catch the awaken show? Lastly, I love salmon so where do you suggest I celebrate my birthday (which restaurant specialty or not). Thank you again for sharing your food tour 😊

This is great info. I love the fact that you shared about continental breakfast is included on RC cruises. We take full advantage of this when we cruise. ❤🎉

What room # did you have in the garden balcony?

Is buying the WiFi worth it?

Thank you for the detailed video of what to expect for those of us who are not as well traveled as you are!

Bottom line is ALL drinks onboard is one of the most profitable areas for Royal, be it purchased through drink packages OR individual drinks. Our family does not drink a lot (we may have two or three alcoholic drinks on an entire 7 day cruise) plus, we are Diamond C&A so we get four free inclusive drinks per day (alcoholic or not). Also, strike up a good relationship with a bartender and they'll gladly give you free bottle water or soda when you get an alcoholic drink (of course you always tip).

Those mugs are exclusive mugs that are hand made. There is only like 300 of them. You should be able to see if it’s “1 of 300”. That’s so funny though, “saw a line” , sounds like something I would do. LOL. You guys are awesome.
