Setting Sail in Style

Packing for this cruise was almost as exciting as the trip itself. Each day, I brought out outfits that matched my mood and the vibrant energy of the ship—flowy floral dresses, bold patterns, and chic jumpsuits in every color of the rainbow. Whether lounging by the pool or strolling to dinner, I felt radiant against the backdrop of this floating city of dreams.

My stateroom was the perfect sanctuary. With plush bedding, ample space for my carefully curated wardrobe, and a balcony that framed endless ocean views, it was a haven of comfort and elegance. Morning coffees on my balcony were a daily ritual, each one a moment of gratitude for this incredible experience.


Delectable Dining Adventures

Dining aboard Icon of the Seas was nothing short of divine.

  • Main Dining Room: My evenings began with exquisite multi-course meals where each dish was a masterpiece. From buttery lobster tails to perfectly seared steaks, the menu was a culinary adventure.
  • Chops Grille: This sophisticated steakhouse was a highlight of the week. The filet mignon practically melted in my mouth, and the truffle butter made every bite unforgettable.
  • Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen: Rustic and romantic, this spot felt like a cozy escape to the Italian countryside. The hand-tossed pizzas and creamy tiramisu were absolute standouts.

Cheers to New Drinks & Lounges

The new drink menu onboard was a delightful surprise! I tried everything from tropical cocktails with a hint of spice to refreshing mocktails that were almost too pretty to sip.

One of my favorite spots to unwind was Lou’s Jazz and Blues Lounge. With its sultry ambiance and live music, it was the perfect place to sip a martini and let the soulful melodies carry me away.


Exploring Onboard Cafés

The cafés on Icon of the Seas were as stylish as they were inviting. Whether grabbing a frothy cappuccino or a sweet pastry, I loved the cozy corners perfect for catching up on journaling or people-watching. Each café felt like a boutique experience, with unique décor and delicious offerings.


Top-Tier Entertainment

From dazzling Broadway-style productions to intimate live performances, the entertainment onboard was unparalleled. One evening, I caught a high-energy show that had me dancing in my seat. On another, I found myself mesmerized by an acrobatic performance that defied gravity.


Enchanting Ports of Call

Our ports of call were just as magical as the ship itself.

  • St. Thomas: I shopped for vibrant island jewelry and sipped fresh coconut water while exploring the bustling markets.
  • St. Maarten: The turquoise waters were irresistible. I spent hours lounging on the beach, soaking up the sun, and savoring fresh seafood.
  • Perfect Day at CocoCay: Royal Caribbean’s private island was a dream come true. The overwater cabanas, crystal-clear lagoons, and thrilling water slides made it feel like a personal paradise.
