Icon of the Seas is a fantastic ship. The staff are all friendly and helpful which adds to the cruise experience. The shows are brilliant and amazing. The rooms are spotless. We had one on deck 4 with a window out to sea. There are lots of interesting places on this ship to just sit and relax both inside and outside. The Pearl on deck 5 is a masterpiece of ingenuity and is an amazing thing to see.
RCI is our favourite brand as we like the overall package they give but this time , maybe a different class of ship?, but we felt there was a complete lack of "parties". sail aways seem to have ceased and the promenade parties were non existent. they cancelled our trip we have had booked for some months due to "lack of interest" and the lady said "sadly its not viable for us to run" but that's a money related response. happy to take our money when it suits but not when it means they might make a loss. our situation wasnt considered at all. the trip was on disembarkation day a trip to take all day which would then drop us at airport when needed, wasn't any other alternatives offered either we were just left stranded outside terminal on disembarkation day at 8 to fend for ourselves to airport for a flight at 6. 15pm so we had to sit in airport for 9 hours before a 6 hour flight. . . the cruise was also caught in the New York snow blizzard so we couldnt leave port the until the next day so meant a stop was also not made due to lack of time, we werent allowed outside due to the snow on top deck either so no fresh air. generally nice but could have done better this time RCI
Lovely ship, well decorated, modern and clean with plenty of activities. Food was very good and the staff were pleasant and efficient. The only thing I would mention is the drinks are expensive and also the internet charges, something to bear in mind.
Wow what a fabulous cruise! The staff are truly wonderful, including the directors and captain. The food and entertainment were great. We loved this ship . . easy to navigate and had a wealth of bars, activities and dining options.
