The sea calls my name

I am very late to the dance, ( Icon Inaugural got in my way) but how about Lima?

Thank you for answering my gangway question. I really appreciate it. I actually was able to book my entertainment this morning for our cruise!!!!!. However, this prompts an additional question. Strangely when reserving the shows it does not include the length of each show. If you could supply that missing piece of information, then I can alter my dining reservations accordingly. The Fine Line ( Aqua Show) A Journey in Time ( Ice show) Columbus, the Musical ( Theater show) Grease Thank you and keep having a great cruise.

Following. for sure!!!! My DH and I sail on her March 3. This will be our first cruise in 35 years of cruising out of Galveston as well. We have sailed on her before but that was out of Florida. We are doing the following itinerary: Port/City Date Arriving Departing GALVESTON - TEXAS 03 March 2024 4:00 PM CRUISING 04 March 2024 CRUISING 05 March 2024 ROATAN - HONDURAS 06 March 2024 7:00 AM 4:00 PM COZUMEL - MEXICO 07 March 2024 8:00 AM 6:00 PM PUERTO COSTA MAYA - MEXICO 08 March 2024 7:00 AM 3:00 PM CRUISING 09 March 2024 GALVESTON - TEXAS 10 March 2024 7:00 AM Here are my first two questions 1. Can you, in detail, describe the gangway from the terminal to the ship? I have severe restricted lung disease and the least bit of an incline poses a major problem for me. The Ft Lauderdale gangway is a prime example of that up, turn, up some more repeat. If is is like Miami which is an even walk over, I am fine. Knowing this in advance will help me decide if I need to request W/C assistance or not. . 2. If this is your same itinerary, could you post the single sheet entertainment summary that shows all shows/times for the entire week on one sheet. Again this will help with scheduling my specialty dining Lastly, thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you have a wonderful cruise with you Mom and family. Virginia Lea.

My DH did a live review for the Inaugural Sailing this past week and at this very moment is posting all of them to his review.. I.t should be around page 40

thank you for the kind words we have enjoyed bringing this to everyone, it’s been a blast for all of us. Unfortunately one cannot film or take pics in casino. However if you have been watching i interviewed Chris Wong last night and he is the asst casino manager and stated it is the largest casino in the fleet. And i can say the bar is awesome as it is large and friendly. again Thank You And by the way this is cruisinghawg using DW account LOL

Great Pictures

yes it certainly seems wider and the pizza is not bad or pretty good depends on how one puts it

No none of the drink packages apply

oh and @cruisinghawg is using DW handle for now.

i have to convert to mp4 and that takes about 3 minutes for a 1 minute video. Then download takes about 3 minutes so 6 to 7 minutes total.

yes i now have converted from nov to mp4 so everyone can view

I am curious, is anyone else having trouble with the RCCL App regarding doing your health status questions. I am within the 24 hour window and it says" an email will be sent to you at 12 noon." Well that's fiction.

Ken after a couple of days now for to get an overview, where would you recommend I go during the day that is climate controlled, comfortable seating and has views of the ocean? Des and I love to play cards but neither of us want to be in the sun. Thanks for any suggestions.

If you can find out whether or not our cabins will be ready when we board on the 27th that would be great. If there are not, I may change some of my placement of articles around so I don't have so much to carry on board and around the ship. Looking very forward to meeting you finally.

That is really interesting as it isn't listed on the app or Cruise Planner. Maybe it is sold out and that is why. I hope that is the case.

I don't believe that Icon has Chefs Table. It has Celebration Table and Empire Club.

You might could also do short contracts with cruise lines as the ship doctor. I know years ago we visited with the "ships Dr." He was an ER Dr. on the west coast and was doing a 2 week contract.. Had his family on board with him. Not sure if the lines still do that but a thought.

I nursed for 44 years and went from sunup to moon-up everyday, It did take me a while learn to relax and to settle into retirement but I can truthfully say it is the best job I have ever had and I truly loved every nursing job I ever had. Doing volunteer work for an indigent clinic our church supports will help. Hope to start that this spring.

I am going to be making a direct line to the WJ when we board in hopes of mounds of fresh seafood. Would be wonderful to have a seafood feast included in the cruise price.

Well a trade you a chocolate bar for a bottle of wine trick should work.🤣.

Saw that same one, that make no sense to me. Us women have hair dryers, straight irons, curling irons etc that aren't USB charged items. Oh well I did see a 220v so Converter it is.

What is the policy on buying and bringing wine onto the ship at your ports of call? Is it a " one bottle per person per every 7 nights" type policy" Wine and chocolate are my two vices. Those pictures made me excited for my 1/27 Inaugural Icon Cruise, I hope the wine and chocolate are both flowing.

Already packed my sound machine.🤣. Ken, if time permits during your 3 day, I am interested i how many US110 outlets there are on the vanity. From the few videos I have seen of the standard OV Balcony cabin, it looked like only one. They certainly have all the USB ports you can use, but It appears I may need to bring my currency converter and adaptor for all my non-USB electricity needs. Thanks.

Yes I have seen the negative comments and have made the decision that I will be positive and not bring any of my doubtful thoughts up until perhaps I get home. I do not want to come off as a RC shill but will positive through out. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve on videos. I am about to see if my wife's computer will download, take my computer to our computer guy here in town or just buy a new camera. I also thought about just posting pics and leave the video to others. I believe you said earlier you will post yours when you get back home. I will post Sat morning thus my practice with the Icon photos. I am posting from my wife's computer thus her handle.

Make the Casino non-smoking so that adjacent areas can be used by those of us who are hihgly allergic to cigarette smoke.
