I just got off of Icon last week. We found crew were very helpful when walking up to guest services and photo desks. While the app is very helpful it does glitch and they are ready to help. Icon is a reimagined ship and in my opinion if you’re used to “traditional” layouts or features,then you will either love the upgrades/ updates or struggle with them. This is my new favorite ship hands down.

Gotta be 48 inches or taller to get on all the slides sucks my daughter is 46 inches. Also most of the entertainment happens mostly at the same time so you have to pick and choose to much in my opinion. I wish they would do more of the family events earlier like 3/4/5pm but no they start everything at 7ish. And you have to pick and choose

Older people don't use "apps". The cruise lines may think they are being progressive or "streamlining" a process, but not being able to talk to a real person on my vacation is a negative for me. Having to go on a discovery trip to find unmarked resources on a big ship would be another "no" for me.

Hi. Love your videos and they are so helpful for us first time cruisers. My friends and I have booked a cruise on the icon of the seas for March 2025. To pay for the deluxe drink package, do we all have to pay for the package or we can do it individually. It’s 8 of us 2 in each room. Thank you.

How do you get the 6:45pm formal dinner time on Deck 5?

I did confirm in a July 2024 cruise compass that there is indeed a 6:45pm seating on Deck 5. So how do you secure that seating selection time?
