I just can't figure out this ship - it's SO impressively enormous! I cruised on Symphony for the first time in 2023, and she absolutely blew my mind - I don't think I'd know what to do on this ship, ha! Thanks so much for getting this released so quickly - I was hoping you'd be on there!

Amazing! FYI, another big job of the pearl is structural. Since they put in those huge windows to let light in and open up the promenade the pearl is essentially holding up the deck above.

Pricing is out of control. Been loyal to Royal for 21 years. Loved sailing Wonder during her inaugural season 3.5-5k for 2 on a 7 night ocean view balcony. This big of a price hike compared was unexpected and unwarrented imo. Will be holding off on booking. They want double that now! Btw thanks for all the content Matt!!

My daughter is on this ship now with her company and she says it is absolutely amazing.

I was worried about crowding... but after this, I see that they truly have a space or neighborhood for everyone... As long as the flow from area to area is good, I don't think that this ship will ever feel crowded, at all. Well done Royal. I'll definitely be sailing on ICON in a few years after the pricing goes down & all the kinks are worked out, lol😂

I never been on a cruise, but icon is the top of my bucket list for a year, now 😊

[greenadventures]

Thank you for getting this content out so quickly! It’s very exciting to get these first glimpses of Icon 😀

[tabathayoung]

Thanks for the ship tour. I can definitely tell Royal design this ship specifically for young families. And it's clear that is definitely their target.

Looks amazing. I love the light colors. The brightness of the ship that would work well for me being low vision, the days of the dark tones and less lighting should be out. I love the openness, airy feeling and like I said the brightness of this new ship thanks Matt for the video, enjoy your cruise on it

im so happy royal invited you and other people/creators to share this with us!! great extension of the royal family! thanks for sharing so quick 😊

I've sailed on both Liberty and Anthem several times, and while this looks incredible, it looks like walking through a suburban mall. I would gladly trade one-of-a-kind amenities for a smaller ship. I can't imagine what the lines will be at every venue. Maybe I'll try Icon in a few years when the hype has subsided.

Greetings from Coco cay and the Mariner of the Seas where we are docked with the Icon of the Seas.

Thank you for sharing this! It’s really nice to finally see some ppl in the being positive about this ship and not complaining about the price. We have choices in the cruises/ships we take and this just happens to be a new ship with a lot to offer plus take you to multiple islands. I’m happy for the RC crew. They worked INCREDIBLY HARD on this project I’m sure. I have such a different perspective on these types of projects because my husband is a structural engineer. I am so excited to sail in August!

I love those elevators. Not sure what the real name is, but I've started calling them smart elevators. I'm sure there's some clever programming behind them because wait times are significantly lower with these types of elevators. I first came across them on a Carnival ship. They really clean up the issues standard elevators have on cruise ships which have many floors and high traffic.

Hi there! Matt, you did a fabulous job summing everything up for us! WOWE, I know you can't wait to be sailing on this absolutely beautiful ship! I am looking forward to seeing more of Cloud 17 and the rest of the ship. YAY!

Thank you for getting this video put together and out so quickly. I have the Star booked, but am anxious to hear reviews once people begin sailing Icon. Personally, I think the décor and look found on the Symphony looks better than what I am seeing in this video. The Icon just feels / looks bare as compared to the Oasis class. Central park looks like it has less plants and the Promenade looks like it will be too loud to enjoy with the open concept. The surf Side does look better than the Boardwalk though, and I think the aqua dome is what sells this boat. Lets hope RCL wakes up with some of these add on prices for activities... no other cruise line charges for ropes course, etc. RCL needs to be reeled back down to Earth... hopefully before the Star hits the water in 2025. Please people, refuse to pay $1/second for some of those activities that are free on competitor ships. We can force RCL to be fair, but it starts with our wallets.

I LOVE Color and this ship is my dream in every way, so cool, bright and Amazing! They did an unimaginable job in the design...the neighborhoods, themes, and pools...not to mention those water parks! Thank you for the tour, it was excellent and so informative...can't wait for more!

[SergiuM]

We booked 7 nights on this ship in the fall for $2500 for 2 people in an interior stateroom. From what others are saying it sounds like we got a deal. Cannot wait!

[soremekun]

Simply stunning! Beautiful ship. Thanks for the preview.

[stephaniepelc]
