I was one of the first guests to sail on Royal Caribbean's newest vessel: The $2 billion Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship.
Yes, it was giant. Yes, I've never seen anything like it. And yes, it was a sensory overload. (I think I need a vacation from this vacation.)
The Icon of the Seas ship is unlike any existing floating resort. As the first ship in Royal Caribbean's new Icon class, the 250,800-gross-ton vessel overshadows virtually all of its predecessors — in size and in the number of water slides, pools, dining venues, and stateroom options.
Ahead of its January 27 debut, Royal Caribbean invited me on a complimentary, three-night preview sailing. Unfortunately, I spent most of my time lost and overwhelmed.
To prevent this for yourself, these are the nine things you should know before your 2024 Icon of the Seas vacation.
