Icon of the Seas is Stupid

MrBeast went on a $1,000,000,000 cruise ship to promote Icon of the Seas. Royal Caribbean doesn't want you to know, but this ship will have A LOT of problems. Don't waste your money!

this video is actually insane I’ve never seen someone so angry over a ship lol

[BoffinGrusky]

I get the impression you don't like this ship.

[Duccedff]

If you go on a ship like this your objective probably isn’t to travel and see all kinds of exotic little towns it’s to experience the ship itself most people could care less about the excursion outside of the boat and just want to enjoy the activities on board

Royal Caribbean is a company, dude is shocked they are trying to make money 🤣🤣

Mr. Stupid?? I think the person doing this video is actually the stupid one!!! Obviously he has not cruised on the Icon and is making all his statements based on his assumptions. I am writing this from experience on the Icon, not made up assumptions. We sailed on the Icon 3 weeks ago and about the only thing in this video I can agree with is the cost of the cruise being more expensive than many others. We knew that ahead of time and we were willing to pay for the experience, and glad we did. It's simple, if you want to pay less, go on another ship. Not hard to figure out. This is currently a case of supply and demand and RCL is in business to make money. Just like anything else, if there is a bigger demand than there is a supply, the price will be higher.

We took the cruise, with Icon at nearly capacity, and on spring break. We are a middle age couple traveling by ourselves. We have cruised roughly 30 previous cruises of all different size ships. At no time did we feel there were long lines for everything, nor did we feel crowded. Not anymore crowded than on much smaller ships we have been on. Other ships may be smaller with less people but this one is larger with more people. The only time we felt it may have been busier was the day everyone was boarding, with their wide eyes and excitement to be onboard. Otherwise, I didn't feel there was any day during the week that we could feel it was crowded.

As far as thrill island and the water park, all I can say is that all the kids/young people, seemed to really be having fun and enjoying themselves. And isn't that what they took the cruise for anyway??

Concerning it being crowded around the pools, every ship we have ever been on is the same way no matter the size. The weather is nice and people want to be around the pool enjoying the sun. That is nothing exclusive to the Icon so what are you saying?? This one has more pools to accommodate more people but it was no more, or no less, crowded than on other ships.

The Icon can't go into small ports because of the size? It wasn't built to go into small ports. There are already other smaller ships that serve that purpose.

Central park was actually really nice, and not crowded. We have been on 2 other Oasis class ships with Central Park and they have all been very nice and relaxing. There are several restaurants there to enjoy as well as plenty of seating to just relax and watch people, if nothing else.

Lines at the buffet and restaurants?? There might have been lines on the boarding day at the buffet, we didn't go there, but it has always has been that way on boarding day on all ships. We probably ate at least one meal a day in the buffet and never had any of your "so called lines". The way the Icon buffet is set up, they have various stations, instead of one line for everyone to get in. This of course allows things to be spread out and not crowded. They also have 2 identical sides to the buffet, at times one side is open, other times both sides are open. Depends on how many people need to be accommodated.

Lines at restaurants?? Have you even cruised before Mr. Stupid? You have reservations and dining times are pre set so why would there be lines? The only short line we saw was at the dining room before they open the doors for a specific dining time. Some people like to wait until the doors open and as soon as they do, people go inside to their assigned tables. No problems. At specialty restaurants, you also have a reserved time so no wait.

Aquadome shows, ice skating shows and stage shows, Wizard of Oz, were all the best and top quality performers. Much better quality than on many of the smaller ships we have been on. For these, you also have a reservation but if you don't, they open it to anyone 20 minutes before the show starts. There wasn't one single show that didn't have some seats right at show time so there would not have been any problem getting in.

Mention was made of the various colors and decorating around the ship. We didn't see anyplace that wasn't looking very attractive and appealing. Certainly not gaudy at all.

As far as we are concerned, we had a great cruise on the Icon and were glad we decided to take it. The ship is very beautiful, all the crew was outstanding, the food and entertainment was great and we would certainly give it a thumbs up. For those that would like to be on a smaller, more intimate cruise that goes to smaller ports, this would not be the ship for you but there are other ships that do serve that market.

If you are considering the Icon, I would suggest disregarding Mr. Stupid's review because he really doesn't know what he is talking about.

Ironically i did not know anything about this cruiseship and after watching your video I’m now speechless just what me and my family need i think is a beautiful ship with lots to do i think royal caribbean hit it out of the park.

[southfloridarailfan]

I dont really agree on a lot of what you say. Ive been on every single oasis class ship for a total of 8 cruises and have thoroughly enjoyed every single one. I have been on these ships at 95-100 percent capacity and overcrowding has never been an issue. The reason why I love these ships is because Royal Carribean makes the ship the destination as well. You could be on this ship for 8 days and still not do everything. I also think you missed the fact that the main goal for all cruise ships is to make money at the end of the day. So dont pick out Royal Carribean when you for sure know other companies are doing similar stuff. Also, you can't discredit Royal for moving the aqua theater on Icon because I have faced multiple cancellations due to weather and rough sea conditions on oasis class ships.

[ADAMC]

He must be mad cause he can’t afford a ticket on this ship 😂😂

[TeeeganPRODZ]

When you get fired from Royal Caribbean

[EggyVenture]

What a great review…I love way you validate your knowledge and experience by the phrases of “who cares” and “so stupid”. You really convinced me that you know what you’re talking about. Sounds like a 10 year old having a temper.

I’m a brand new cruiser and royal is genius for targeting new folks instead of “cruisers that should be offended”. Change is good and the new stuff is why royals stock price just keeps going higher…cause this is the stuff new people want. Get over yourself bro.

[jasoncowdrey]

You don't have to yell the whole time, we can hear you fine.

[sevokevo]

Watching this made me extremely frustrated and makes me not want to ever watch any of your videos… going about telling people are stupid and everything just because you disagree with what RCL decided to do! And here is the thing.. you have not even been of the freaking ship yet and your already saying it’s to much! I hate reviews like this when the ship is not even launch yet… I like the on hand reviews of someone being on the ship and not a review of someone bashing people on something that has not come out yet… thanks for the info…. I decided I will never subscribe to your channel for such toxicity

[elainhayter]

Do you need a hug 🤗 normally helps to calm my kids down when they go off on a rant! At the end of the day you book the ship that best meets your needs and the fact that the decor resembles an explosion in a sweet shop is clearly geared to families with children. I think it looks amazing and will keep even the most moaning of children entertained for the entire holiday. Happy children = happy parents 🥳
If you don't like children then book a different ship...its not rocket science!!

[JAMESFERNANDEZ]

Buddy are you working for MSC!? 😅
Oasis class is the most successful class of all time. Ordered in a middle of a financial crisis in 2008, many thought Royal was taking a high risk with Oasis & Allure while being constructed in Finland. It just turned out to be the most innovative ships ever made. A truly game changer. So successful that, Royal decided to order a 3rd one and then a 4th, a 5th and this year a 6th, to fit other markets as well. And now, it's coming Icon, the most awaited class since 2009 and I'm sure it'll push boundaries in the industry once again. About not being able to sale into port Miami, please . . . the ship is 365 mts long and 65 wide, not much bigger than Oasis which is sailing in and out for more than a decade.

[chadsmith]

What the f*ck did I just watch.. Thank god for the do not recommend channel option lol

[pegeggeggleston]

Interesting video. I just got off of the Wonder, and getting 7000 people on and off was very smooth. The Icon only holds 700 more passengers, so I don't see this as a problem. What I see as a problem with Icon is the price, double the Wonder cost. I love to cruise the big ships, but paying double is crazy. And now I am a senior, and we have Already done all the shore excursions and just enjoy a nice meal, some entertainment and a good nights sleep. Cruising is what you make it. And I am not stupid.

[shangreer]

Wow, did Royal Carribean pee in your Wheaties or what? All I heard is too big, too bright, too much. Book a different cruise if it bothers you.

[ntrocaesar]

LMFAO "It's a big floating daycare"

[AoneandAtwo]

We should be offended it exists? I'm offended by your choice of font. I can't take anyone seriously who uses a child's handwriting in all caps as their chosen font and yells their entire video in monotone.

[merycastro]

I have been cruising for years now . Either you love it or hate it . This guy takes hating to a whole new level . My personal experience. A cruise is what you make of it . Absolutely love cruising. This ship looks gorgeous
