There will be third ship too, Carnival Jubilee which will be built in Meyer Werft. Edit. I was too slow with my writings... 😅 actually I didn't realize that there was page 31 already. This photo is from this evening. Edited May 9, 2022 by Eremita85 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is quite the ship and a lot of RCI folks like her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the "baby" right now that needs attention. They want bookings for the fall and winter when she returns. Thanks for that feedback. Icon comes out Fall 2023 not this year. Still some that book Wonder (last part of 2023) might switch if Icon appeals to them, like the itinerary and fits their budget . Oh well we’ll continue to wait it out then 😃.

I would like to see Icon not have an Aqua theatre but rather a Northstar in the back area up high. I agree. Magic Carpet looks like construction scaffolding on the side of the ship—especially because it's bright orange. I also think the space taken up by the Aqua Theater on Oasis-class ships could be better utilized. Hopefully we get something better on Icon.

I would like to see Icon not have an Aqua theatre but rather a Northstar in the back area up high. Keep the ice rink and promenade. Oh and perhaps move CATS to the new ship ( just kidding). 6 minutes ago, Fairsky84 said: I agree.

I cannot imagine better use of the aqua theater space. This is likely because I love the Aqua Theater so much. I would love to see all of it on one ship. Aqua Theater, Broadway show in the Royal Theater, Ice Rink, 270, and North Star. (I know.. fat chance) I really like the Odyssey but miss the aqua theater and the ice rink. Edit: Oh and a bit bigger casino, with a cafe. (Espresso type beverages) Edited May 9, 2022 by Mikew0805 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsjosh Posted May 10, 2022 #758 Share Posted May 10, 2022 The opening schedule still suggests we get Icon itineraries on sale next week which would mean we'd at least have to get some info(cabin floor plans at least). However, the opening schedule sheet hasn't been updated in a while, so who knows if it's still current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Monium Posted May 10, 2022 #759 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I don't know how old this photo is, but here is what is believed to be that bit of the stern with running track (at the top left of the piece). I wonder where it is now? Could now be part of a bigger piece. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be tucked away in a corner of the shipyard where it cannot be seen. 🙂 It would be awesome if the name was already on the lower stern. Remember this photo @Lloyd555?

Lloyd555 Posted May 10, 2022 Author #768 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) A while ago someone mentioned to me that Icon would be about 3 meters longer, 1.5 meters wider at the waterline and possibly 20,000 GT(!) more than Wonder of the Seas. We shall see. Edited May 10, 2022 by Lloyd555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairsky84 Posted May 10, 2022 #769 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Well, if Icon really is larger than the Oasis-class that explains why she has 5 bow thrusters rather than Wonder's 4. I'd say the evidence is pretty convincing that Icon will indeed be the largest in the RCI fleet, and the largest cruise ship ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted May 10, 2022 #770 Share Posted May 10, 2022 gee I was hoping the Icon would be between Quantum and Oasis. then again RCI just has to keep having the "LARGEST" ever title. the one ups game will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
