Tall-Cruiser

@Eremita85 @Lloyd555 Finally made it onto Icon. Thank you both very much for all the photos and info you shared during the Icon build process. Some of the questions that some of us had including me was, how is the balcony shade of some of the suites on deck 17? Well I got first hand info finally. The Sky JS is nice. But I think I prefer the layout of the JS on Oasis, Freedom and Voyager class better. This Sky JS feels cramped. Or maybe I need a few more days to get use to it. The closest is no way better than the the ones on Oasis, Freedom or Voyager in my opinion.

Just yesterday I sent an email (response to their earlier email) to request reservations for CK. They responded this morning very promptly, and it said “We will take care of the reservation for you” With that I am assuming we are good.

How was your cruise and suite on Icon?

@steamboats As always, fantastic photos. Thanks for sharing here with us.

Maybe they will still offer it in April 😀

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and impressions of Icon. I am surprised they don’t have extra seating in Central Park given the additional eating places, bars and jazz set up they have out there. All of the photos I have seen of the Promenade look great. I’m glad they removed those expensive jewelry stores from Icon’s promenade compared to other ships. I think a lot of people with agree with you about paying for Crown’s Edge 😀. Hopefully, you guys will get to sail on her again and for a full 7 days. We have been following the building of Icon and are looking forward to our sailing on her this coming spring.

As always, those are great video’s by your DH. Thanks for sharing. I realize it was a short cruise for you guys, but what are your general impressions of Icon if I may ask?

I was just thinking the same exact thing.

From which photo?

Yes you are correct. Although Icon has the deck 19 space above the suites as a suite deck. Still, I get the point that both of you and @Newcruiser215 have made that Oasis class appears to look bigger. It will be interesting to see them side by side.

I think one of the things that makes it “appear” not as large is, the view from the sides with the lifeboats on deck 5 and no ocean facing balconies on deck 6 of Icon compared to Wonder. The side profile with the ocean facing balcony cabins seem higher on Wonder but Icon has cabins as high as deck 17/18.

New video from Chris

She looks golden with all the cabin lights on throughout the sides. Very cool.

Thanks for the update and photos. They are not wasting any time. She may be completed faster than Icon.

She is already in drydock https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0nATLarSFq/

That's cool. Didn't realize that they were assembling some parts there. Since it all under Meyer Werft, it does make sense though.

I tried but it didn’t work 😀. Just checked out the website OMG 😀! Wow on all the pricing through April 2026.

She sure is moving very fast. At one point she was doing 24knt

Very cool photo with the snow flakes.
