Nacho cheese is pasteurized American cheese w/ seasoning and canned. Think Velveeta in a can.  This is pretty far from real cheese as it gets.

LAX was a huge bottle neck, but once we  escaped the airport, our shuttle, Execu-Car made short work getting us to the ship.  And we were still plenty early. 
Finding the correct line at the terminal was a struggle. There was very little signage and even less usher help. But once other passengers helped us find the correct place in line, we were shoo'd right through.
After a visit to our muster station, we opted for the Windjammer.  Contrary to public opinion, this food was outstanding.  I must repeat myself.  This food was absolutely delicious.😋
And a view from the Deck 9 sitting area overlooking the Promenade.

We gave $100 for the pool cabana attendant. We were pretty low key for the 4 of us

We go for the free drink, since we don't get the drink package, it's a nice perk for an hour of our time.

OTOH, if no one cares to attend, perhaps RCCL should cancel them. 
Having said that, I typically go. It's a relaxed event with a free drink so why not? 

Same with me. It took a minute to figure it out

On symphony the doors were open to the suite lounge until 2pm or so, when room were ready. Then you had access only with your card after that

I second this one, great location

My 17 yr old is 6'2 and his feet hang over on these sofa beds.

I'd love to do a suite on Icon. The second restaurant (Mediterranean) looks interesting, but agreed that prices need to come down. I'd book connecting balconies for 2025. Great looking ship.

Yep, you can also get historically data from the last few yrs to get a better idea

Can you share the menu?

Couldn't agree more. I've been far more annoyed by adults than children on any cruise I've been on.

First impressions watching the video:
(TL:DR - I'm super impressed and SO excited!)
The crown's edge looks SOOOO fun! I really like that there are 6 free slides on the ship. I doubt I'd ever pay for the slides at CocoCay so the ship would allow me waterslide fun and then I could enjoy the free fun on the island without feeling like I'm missing out on too much. I LOVE Cloud17. The solarium was always nice but small. This seems a bit bigger and I like that it's open air again. As someone without kids, I think the kids-focused neighborhood in the new not-boardwalk area is really smart. It gives them a whole space that doesn't feel shoved away in a corner or forgotten so they can feel like guests in their own right. But also I imagine it will cut down on kids running all over the ship to get to different venues or hang out areas (my one complaint with Allure - preteens and young kids running all over and even at one point playing Ding dong ditch with our room's doorbell). Plus, the balcony rooms over looking this area would be great for families so guardians can chill in the room and maybe watch their preteens and teens below. The Aquadome is the baby between aquatheater and two70 and that's very cool! Not just in set up  but also i think in entertainment type since there are large robotic arms and screens in addition to water features. PRIVATE POOL FOR THE SUITE NEIGHBORHOOD! Yes! And TWO exclusive restaurants?! So glad the promenade will have windows! One of the biggest comments I hear about Oasis class and most Royal ships in general is that they focus in vs out, so one can essentially go the entire day having fun but without seeing the ocean. I think this will go far in addressing those comments AND really brightening up the promenade.  
If I'm honest...I don't think I'll be able to afford a sailing on her for another decade or so when she's "old" and "forgotten" lol but I'm still hyped for that day!

Love the new design and the new Cloudy 9 adult areas. Like the idea of the kids area on a different deck in the back of the ship. We'll be booking this beauty

Sucks to get old but I have sadly come to the conclusion that, although I might have 5+ drinks a couple of days, I can’t do it every day anymore.  Thankfully after this next cruise, we’ll be Diamond.  I’m pretty comfortable with 4 comped drinks per day & paying OOP for the few extras.

I’ve never had a GOOD Bloody Mary 🤢

Ask a cardiologist. 

We just trade out our used for new at the end of each day’s activities. 

I've only seen pinnacles wear their pins. I've yet to see anyone else, but to each there own

I second the recommendation for South Beach
