Mikew0805 Posted October 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'm sure hundreds if not thousands on this board have. I booked for June 1, but looking forward to the media cruises, and reviews once the inaugural takes place. I am sure You Tube will be flooded with videos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted October 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'd love to book it. But I know that the cost of 1 Icon cruise is the same as 3 cruises on other RC ships 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine what that inaugural is going to be like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Concord Slim Posted October 25, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Booked suites for the 2/10/24 and 12/14/24 when bookings opened... Little pricey but nothing like now as the prices are more than 2.5x of what we paid, heck a JS is now around 1.5x of what we paid for a sky class suite... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted October 26, 2023 #16 Share Posted October 26, 2023 We also booked the day reservations opened for May 2024. Two Surfside Suites for extended family at a pretty good rate that included KSF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeGal Posted October 26, 2023 #17 Share Posted October 26, 2023 To the person who said those on Icon are those who money is no object, that is NOT true! We booked a balcony on the Inaugural when bookings opened and paid under 4500 dollars with all our taxes, port fees and drink package. The longer you waited, the higher the price went. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBRADFORD79 Posted October 26, 2023 #18 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I booked the Icon back in October 2022 when they first opened reservations and feel like I got a decent price for a D4 ocean view balcony around the same price as the other Oasis ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked day one and we took central park balconies (not my fav!) For me, this trip is all about the ship! BTW.. it was 3362. I can easily live with that.

Some people think that cruising is for people for whom money is no object. It is all about priorities. We are interested in it, we like longer cruises and do not have kids, but bookings are going pretty well. Edited October 26, 2023 by Tatka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted October 26, 2023 #23 Share Posted October 26, 2023 2 hours ago, Newcruiser215 said: Why’d you cancel? If you don’t mind sharing. I'm putting my cruise budget into bucket list trips around the world including many places that Royal doesn't sail. I've done the Caribbean so many times I was sick of it before the pandemic and was shifting to bucket list trips but then the world shutdown. During the restart I wanted to stay close to home so I stuck with the Caribbean and Alaska but now that the world has more fully reopened I'm shifting back to my bucket list as I am once again burned out on the Caribbean. Instead it's the Galapagos, Antarctica, South Africa, Europe river cruises, etc. Plus for the money Royal is charging versus the cutback and loss of perks I might as well sail a better line for just a bit more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not true - I booked Nov 2022 and price for our balcony on deck 12 was $1045 (3 adults to the cabin - room total was $3135 for all of us). All about demand the timing.

lcpagejr Posted October 28, 2023 #25 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Nothing I want more is to go on a cruise with 7000 people needing a road map to get around the ship. Sometimes big is too big. ...No Thanks Edited October 28, 2023 by lcpagejr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
