*All Access* Crew Neighborhood Tour | Icon Of The Seas

[@juanitafurtado8805]

Royal definitely took it to the next level with these crew areas. Happy crew means happy guests. A special shout out to the crew bar, every bit as nice as any guest bar. Outstanding!

[@bayguy900]

It nice to see that royal Caribbean shows how they appreciate the hard work the crew members do for them. Cheers to a great cruise line.

[@marshacallahan3348]

It's good that RCL has upgraded the crew neighborhood just as they are doing for the passengers. It is more important for the crew because of how long your contracts are.

[@tinakape6935]

This shows how much the crew is valued by RCCL. I love how much thought went into taking care of the crew.

[@FollowmedowntheNumberWhole]

Well, this is cheaper for RC than paying them more.

[@GaryMeolaJr]

Royal really has stepped it up when it comes to crew areas. Thanks for sharing Chris !

[@lisahart4684]

I'm glad Royal gave the crew such nice areas. It shows that they appreciate their crew who work so hard for so many hours and hours.

[@bearwonder1]

Glad you did not leave RCL. only you have the super unique content that no other social media provider has. Thank you.

[@brandonso]

It's so great how RC values its crew members. This is a LUXURIOUS cafeteria and lounge!

[@lw3158]

They could improve on that crew value by giving them internet access for free. I think it’s appalling that they don’t. Keep up the great work Chris Wong!

[@heideleskun1163]

Glad you were given permission to post this area for crew, I know a lot of times they don't want it shown. Thank you.

[@grayrabbit2211]

They should be proud of this. It's wonderful to see crew get treated as well as the passengers. They're busting hump for minimal pay, and let's be honest, the ship could be wonderful or a dog...but it's the crew that will make or break it.

[@Steve_in_NJ]

Wow! Chris, you have hit the Crew Member Jackpot!!! That crew neighborhood is nicer than most of the neighborhoods back in the crew's homeland -- you guys work so hard and definitely deserve a nice area to chill out when off duty!

[@Xanderzone365]

WOW - Royal really took great care of you guys on this ship! Thanks for the tour, bro!!

[@kater.7563]

Wow! The crew Windjammer food looks just like what they serve passengers. Glad to see it, because you all deserve it.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

I have a feeling that was a special event. I doubt they do ice sculptures for the crew everybody day.

[@chowchillachuck]

Cruise ship crew work so hard. I am happy to see Royal providing such splendid places for the crew to enjoy what little down time they have.

[@jenkin227]

Seeing this made me so happy that they are showing how much you guys are appreciated. You guys deserve all of it!!!

[@ObsidianSecret]

this is a beautiful ship and also with the things they have for the crew is really something i feel more ships should do because the crew would really appreciate it and have a place to blow off steam on a hard day

[@ronyano]

A cruise ship within a cruise ship, fantastic

[@beachymamaadventures]

Reminds me of the Captain Nights late night buffets they used to do 20 years ago. I miss it!

[@LetsAllCruise]

Royal have done such a good job with this ship. Love that they not only raised the bar for passenger accommodation but for crew too. The bar at the end is nicer than some of the guest bars on other ships!!! Love the portholes.

[@KrisTina-friendship]

Wow!! Thanks Chris for giving crew tour. An area we don't get to see as passengers. Spectacular!! is one word to describe it amongst many. The crew work so hard. All you folks deserve the best ❤

[@dlrmadison]

Loving this! Crew deserves credit for passenger happiness and loyalty.

[@kathleencraig3804]

this is the best crew area , we were lucky to have crew cafeteria/tiny/small buffet the crew gym never used and crew bar was cheap drinks $1.00 2003 when I was on princess, worked as musician. I like color schemes and crew areas were so beautifully designed. Royal knows how to take care of their crew for sure they just work them 12-16hrs day excluding musicians in lounges or showroom theatres.

[@keyman6689]

Very nice. It's like you're getting the cruise experience and not some boring backstage industrial area. Bravo RC.

[@whale5646]

wow looks like the crew are living well. Thanks for sharing . I always wondered what the crew area looked like. Take care my friend.

[@wcl4317]

I recently sailed on Icon and the staff they have on this ship is incredible! Every single one of them we interacted with was top notch!

[@luciedaigle3715]

WOW! That's why the crew is always happy to work for us! Happy crew, happy guess! I was always curious about how it works, and now I would like to go and join you! It's part of my dream so never know that I will someday soon! Thank you very much for the share! 🥰😀😎

[@jaygros2112]

I am so glad they treat you guys this way. You deserve it.

[@brentshuffler1234]

Chris, I am delighted to see that Royal Caribbean is giving its Icon staff the best treatment in the entire cruise industry. The Crew Neighbourhood is effectively a ship within the megaship! It is as big as, or even bigger than, many ships, given that Icon has about 2,300 employees and the majority of ships are carrying fewer passengers than that, right?

[@grayrabbit2211]

Wow at the Crew Appreciation Dinner! I realize this isn't a typical night, but the fact that they went all-out with ice sculptures, elaborate decorations, beautifully displayed food speaks volumes. Same with the crew areas being fitted with nice fittings and furniture that are more than worthy of guest areas. RC didn't have to do this, but that they took the extra effort and expense is impressive. All of this makes me want to give RC business over other cruise lines.

[@thisizdub]

They deserve it. Every cruise I've been on I always see the crew work constantly

[@pnw_and_palapas]

Thanks for the tour Chris! I just shook your hand in the casino, thank you for taking the time to greet me. Beautiful ship ❤

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Wow!!!!! Love.how RCL treats the crew. We cruised RCL SONG OF.NORWAY in 1974. It was top notch then. Such a classy operation. Far above a Carnival cruise.

[@apaisley3169]

Thanks so much for this. My daughter just started a new job on this ship and your videos give me so much peace of mind! Thank you❤

[@leanncarpenter9138]

You all deserve these great areas to relax and eat and just enjoy time off

[@evangelisttamarmichelle3512]

The Crew Deserves It. Very Nice

[@bonniejenney2112]

So happy to see that Royal Caribbean is finally stepping it up for the crew hopefully they continue making these areas for all of new ships and revamping some of the older ships happy crew happy guest great job Royal Caribbean

[@freeetosaywhatilike7473]

WOW the crew got it a nice setup . The cruise line did not miss their loyalty crew staff! Well out done them self .

[@jeffthanson]

Thanks for sharing Chris! I absolutely love the "I am Royal" messaging, all Royal Crew makes me extremely proud!

[@FraserAtSea]

This was so amazing to see. The concept of 'neighbourhoods' blew my mind when I was on Symphony last year, but this is NEXT LEVEL. The fact the crew have another hidden neighbourhood 'behind the scenes' is fascinating - thanks for showing us this!

[@ladydove45]

Hi Chris, The crew areas are really cool to see. Everyplace looked amazing and fantastic

[@fairygurl5448]

I loved the layout and seeing all the food the crew is offered. It’s amazing. Makes you really think about the amount of food the ship has to have for both the crew and passengers.

[@sarahj.5970]

It makes me happy they put this effort in for you guys....very nice...you all really deserve chill places that are just yours. Thanks for sharing.

[@jhonld5859]

What an amazing cruise! It would be wonderful to work on a ship like that.

[@floridacycling4842]

Thanks for the tour. We've always known that the crew works so hard, it's nice to see that they have such lovely areas to relax in when off the clock.

[@rtshort]

VERY nice crew quarters. Like its own city. Thanks for the tour.

[@angelaterranova1577]

So glad to see this for the crew!! You all work so hard, you definitely deserve nice living quarters!!

[@grace7059]

Thats fabulous❤Happy crew, happy passenger 🎉

[@winstonmace4865]

Spent 6 years on ships first with Princess then Disney. Seeing this set up, I hope it sets an example for other cruise lines to follow.

[@NickHewlett-e8u]

Wow loooove it ❤ it's beautiful just as good as the guest areas which i think it should be too you guys and girls are the heartbeat of the ship, with out you all we could not cruise so you all deserve to have Only the best ❤

[@snapper69996666]

Same food as the passengers by the look of it, that's great

[@AlTaJr61]

that is highly commendable and should be THE STANDARD for other cruise lines as well. I saw a video about another company where the passengers could tell the CREW were not happy at all and appeared Stressed to the Max.

[@100TVrsa]

Good job RCCL for giving the best to its crew , hope all cruiseline do the same

[@princessconsuelabananahamm1571]

Thanks for the video! It brought back memories of the good old times. It definitely is fancier than other ships, loved it!!!

[@LC-r2b]

I wanted to see the pool and outside areas too

[@luvtravel2927]

Love they treat crew as important as they are wow super

[@debwright4655]

Wow the immensity of the size is amazing. With them having to be on the ship for months on end it is nice to see that they have such a wonderful area.

[@BrianAlt]

Wow! What a difference from other crew areas we’ve seen in the past! Beautiful

[@normakennedy7404]

WOW, what a great area for the crew. They work very hard and deserve a great place to relax.

[@mychaelgregory4694]

Barber may be working in the dining hall after you exposed him scrolling on his phone😂

[@shawniam2000]

Hi Chris, yes the crew area is so cool. Thanks so much for that tour of it. All that food made me hungry lol. I enjoy your content very much!

[@andrewsabol5045]

Chris awesome crew area video. You would find me always at the crew buffet, it all looks so yummy 😋 👍

[@rescue22executive]

Love the crew neighborhood!! I took a selfie with you on the maiden voyage, it was nice to finally meet you!

[@charlottedowns6652]

Great video! See you Chris Wong at the end of March on the Icon!

[@Suekarns]

It was so nice to meet you last week. The 🐙 lady.

[@angie-whateverfloatsyourboat]

Nice areas for the crew. I love behind the scenes footage, thank you.

[@richmiller2501]

Chris his makes my love RC even more. I sometimes complain on the price but seeing how they take care of their employees, I can understand this.. .

[@richmiller2501]

A happy crew means a great trip for me.. I for one love to hear the story's and interact with the crew...

[@jeanmm2996]

Really cool, Chris! Crew, you all rock!!!!!❤

[@donmoors8992]

Chris your grace and blogs just make us continually want to cruise Royal. Thanks so much! 😎

[@laplet8262]

Great video, Chris! The crew area on Icon looks much better than I would have imagined. I hope you have a great time on your contract aboard this mighty ship!

[@kristypaul8067]

Fantastic tour thanks for taking us with you Chris ❤

[@marktheshark7966]

Hey Chris, I just got your newest mitis video. Awesome as hell you did a beautiful job as a cruise mess. That is probably the most cleanest and nicest area for you and your crew. Very impressed.

[@danieldzurko8053]

Thank you for this tour of this beautiful neighborhood.

[@stephendoane1093]

Well done and kudos to Royal.

[@Tomyoung7285]

Very impressive crew area. I could really see myself working on a ship when I was much younger. Love your vlogs. Very interesting and educational at same time. Get to see all the areas of a cruise ship and how many people and equipment it takes to operate a ship. A maxing. 🎉🎉🎉😂😂❤❤❤

[@LakeCupid]

Thank you so much for doing these videos. I don't know about anyone else but I tend to forget that they crew also has a life on the ship. I mean absolutely no disrespect at all. I am grateful for all that the crew does for all of us. Definitely eye opening and great to see. Wish you would be there when I get there but one day I will be on the same ship as you :D

[@septemberclare2697]

What a great place to work. Thank you for sharing.

[@trbarton743]

Thank you very much for ALL that you do for us. I was really impressed with the crew mess & all of the various options that you have. It makes working on a ship that much better with these kinds of benefits. Thanks! Agian.😁😁😁👍👍

[@angelinatana]

There will be doggy bags seeing there way to crew cabins for a late snack 😂

[@KissesFromCanada]

Thanks for sharing! I’m glad better ships means it better for everyone!

[@anncampbell5952]

Crew area is wonderful! Enjoy!

[@stevenz2234]

Another great tour...we hope to see you soon on the ICON.

[@SeeItWithC]

The crew food area looks amazing!

[@alanreddin533]

Good one Chris! I appreciate the content only you provide.

[@stephaniepelc1618]

Wow!! That’s impressive.

[@Pantherjonvideos]

WOW! So awesome that Royal knows how to treat the people that make them such a great cruise company! Thank you so much for taking us on this tour of your special neighborhood! Where can I sign up to be crew on Icon!?! Just kidding..Although, IF it were true I would certainly want to be crew on Icon! Take care , Chris!

[@lizkotchek928]

First Chris Wong video for me. I have always heard that the crew are treated like trash. Icon did you all great. I am so happy to see you have upscale food and places to meet up and have fun. I don't make enough money to cruise very often but when I have cruised it has been with Celebrity. My 92 year old mom I care for has payed my way to go on the Celebrity Apex in 2 wéeks for a family reunion. I love the Icon but besides the fact I can't afford it, I am disabled and couldn't possibly walk very far. Thankyou and I joined your channel.

[@brentshuffler1234]

Chris, towards the end of this video, I was happy to see the crew's Fitness Centre and also that you exercise and do not smoke tobacco. However, working in a smoke-filled casino every day is just as bad as actually smoking. Do you wear a mask while you are working? Are you advocating for smoke-free casinos?

[@lyriamoore3095]

I see @lulideloscruceros at 2:38!!! It was so great meeting you and Luciana on my third revenue cruise. It was a dream come true to see you both in your element!

[@andreeaselgaardjensen5086]

It looks great! Keep the morale of the team up
