As a retired US Air Force computer programmer, her pioneering developments in the computer field were without match. I do believe that without her development of a conversational style of computer programming language (COBOL), only advanced mathematicians would be able to code computer processes. Her contributions help lead to the computerized world we now live in. Her life story is an interesting read. Now, back to Icon..... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted December 28, 2023 #3528 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I noticed Erika from America's vids, the one I posted, was published on You Tube on the Royal Caribbean channel so she had to have been under their auspices whilst Chris' was not. I think her posts were considered PR. That's my guess anyways. What difference does it really make anyway. Full disclosure.......wouldn't hurt a thing. I already knew this ship was going to blow everyone away. And...there will always be naysayers...that's life. For me, it'll be a very long wait with many You Tube vids between now and our Sept. booking... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sail2k Posted December 28, 2023 #3529 Share Posted December 28, 2023 We have a booking for September and decided to jump on early also...so we got a great deal on Christmas day for March 2nd and pulled the trigger. Just couldn't wait!!! Now after seeing these videos on here....we are super excited. On a side note...I cannot believe how much the suite prices have gone up since we booked last year. We booked a corner sunset suite...the largest size one they have...that room is now $15,000 per person. That is just stupid...stupid...stupid. Over 2x the price we paid!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topanga49er Posted December 29, 2023 #3531 Share Posted December 29, 2023 We also jumped last minute on a "group rate" in June for $3k Balcony All in. Couldn't wait until our March 2025 original sailiing for senior year w kids. Usually travel in at least JS for the C&A points, but couldn't pass this up and it's our 21st Anniversary! (20th Anniversary. DH chose for his knee replacement surgery🤦🏻♀️. ) So we still have six months, but will be all over those inaugural videos and can scope it out for the family trip!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, our Icon cruise that we booked way back in October of 2022 for March of 2023 (in 10 weeks 🙂) is up nearly 3 fold. A 300% increase! Insanity! I would've never paid that much! We paid $7k total for one balcony room and one "spacious" interior room for 4 people total (2 per room). Last time I checked, the price was over $20k! I mean, c'mon man! 😳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great if the can get it. I love other people spending their money. I'm not spending mine. My TA is doing good so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all those who pay silly money for coco kay and the private beds on sea days.....Then again if you can afford it then its up to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
