Not sure why you'd expect anything else - it's an O class sized ship with the same limitations of where she can go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw that it left NYC this morning, so next possibility is Sept 18/19? Makes sense not to do it on 9/11. Not appropriate... It won’t be on either of those days. It’s the Queens funeral on the 19th which would be inappropriate, RCL has black logos on social media in respect. Also it would be lost in the news on that day as a very very minor footnote. It will be later in the month at the earliest. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had also read about the Icon reveal being a media event on board Oasis in September. Could that be when it is (also that’s the last September sailing)? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlowRider (apparently only one on the ship) - At the aft end of the starboard side of deck 16. carousel - Halfway down the Boardwalk if memory serves me right. Not in its usual spot on Boardwalk near the entrance. vehicle in promenade 100architect playground? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's set for 7 day sailings and there is only so far she can go and so many ports that can handle that size of ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symphony also has a stop in Antigua. A Coco cay, cruising, St Maarten, Antigua, DR, cruising, itinerary would be a pretty sure booking for me. But if its a coco, st thomas, st maarten itinerary, I'll probably just do the 8 day symphony to curacao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted September 14, 2022 Author #1418 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) There is the AquaTheatre portion of the AquaDome.

Fairsky84 Posted September 15, 2022 #1425 Share Posted September 15, 2022 20 hours ago, Fairsky84 said: Are these Icon's funnels?! I'm guessing we're only seeing the very tops of the funnels. But from the shape, I think we can expect the funnels to be much more round or cone-shaped than on Oasis-class. And will the funnels be blue? The same color as the hull? That would be very different for Royal Caribbean. Overall, it's interesting to see how many curves Icon has. The bridge, stern, and even the point of the bow curves downward. It could be a much more elegant design than recent RCI ships. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
