For those that were curious, onboarding was seamless. We arrived at 11:20 and were on the boat by 11:30. Amazing how fast it was. Additionally it is 1:30 now and I don’t see anyone on the gangway! Amazing how efficient they have been. Also staterooms were ready before 1 and all bags were there already too!

If I show up for icon before my scheduled time, will I be able to get on or will they make me wait?

I have been looking at some YouTube videos of the Icon and I am not seeing Vintages anywhere. Is there a similar wine bar on the boat?

OK thanks. Any idea what those prices are per drink? 13 a drink I was assuming.

I am curious to know, are drink prices on Icon in line with other ships? If so, what are the current drink prices?

All those should be in the app.

I checked the app and no menus in the app.

I know they just started sailing, but does anyone have any copies of the Icon menus? Main dining room, windjammer themes or other various restaurants?

My wife has now informed me it is in the app. I am a dumb husband who doesn't listen... lol For anyone else who had my question, that is the answer. 

Hi everyone. I know the Icon is brand new, but my wife was hoping to plan ahead for our upcoming cruise in February. Does anyone have a copy of the daily compass (is it still called that?) or any idea of the types of theme nights they have on the boat? If there is a website or part or Royal's website that has this, please point me in the right direction. Thanks again for everyone's help. 

Are you on the liberty of the seas today? I heard they canceled a couple of ports...

Has anyone done either of these or both of them? Which do you recommend? We are a family of 4 and at time of cruising will have an 11 and 13 year old. 

Stay at the courtyard Marriott in brickcell. We just did this last week. They have a shuttle that is $10 a person to take you to the terminal. Our shuttle picked up just my family from the hotel and drove us straight to terminal. 

Going on Icon in February 2024. Waterpark passes are currently $207.99!!!!

Yes they were very specific looking for certain kind of blood from a male aged 25-50 who did not take any medications. 

Symphony currently docked outside grand Turks due to a medical emergency. In pic below you can see the Carnival ship. 
 

I have no idea what the medical emergency is but I really hope the person is alright. 

This brunch only option on most days is pretty frustrating…

Also while on Oasis in June I really loved getting a daily apple danish…. Now I’m finding that they rarely have them anywhere… 

Any suggestions on chairs with umbrellas by the large pool? Wanted to get a bed by chill island and they sold out. Need to get some good shade for my wife. My guess is it’s first come first serve and we need to rush there…. Any help appreciated.

Yes that was the plan to check in as soon as I got on board. I was at the excursion desk by 11 am and everything is still sold out. I’m on the waitlist. Coco Cay is day 7 for us so there is retool a chance someone backs out… thought I would see if anyone was on this sailing and looking to cancel.

Todays sailing

Any chance anyone wants to give up a chill island day bed reservation on symphony if the seas? It sold out so fast and I’m on a waiting list. I thought I’d try here…

I ended up canceling the bid. I'm currently in a regular balcony with a good location and was bidding on an ultra spacious balcony.... liked the idea of the bunk beds, but don't really think it is worth it. Gonna save my cash and stay where I am. 

Ahh that is good to know. Last time I cruised and tried the Royal Up, I did not receive this letter. 

I have a cruise coming up this weekend and received an email saying my offer was not selected yet, and that the ship would be reviewing my offer. Talked about how they could accept it up to 2 hours before embarkment.

Anyone else have an experience like this before? Just looking for some feedback. Thanks!

So I forgot to reserve tickets.... can I still get in with my wife or are we not going to get to see it?

Now that was an awesome response! Thank you @BirdTravels
