Did you not read all of my posts? I said it’s dumb to have the little kids area so far away from everything else ………. I said they if they were going to have a pool,area 6 floors away from everything else, it should have been the adult area …….. it’s dumb to make families of mixed age kids have to split up because of how the pools and water slides are up top and the little kids area is 6 floors away. I didn’t say adults needed a quiet area …… somebody else said that and I said 6 floors away for adults would be quieter than being next to the water slides where it is now. I could care a less if the adults area is quiet or not …….. but it would have made more sense for the little kids area to be next to the water slides and the adults area to be the one that’s so far away instead of making families of kids with varied ages have to split up.

‘some kids on balconies (which I’ve rarely seen or heard when in that area on ships) would be better than the constant noise of kids screaming on the waterslides right next to the current adult area in the hideaway

‘Six floors down would have been a great spot to have the Adults Only Area and had the little kids area right behind the waterslides where the Hideaway adults area is now. That would have made much more sense.

We were a group of 15 on Icon in February…….. 8 adults and 7 kids. All the kids except 1 were 11 to 14. The other 1 was 4, it was a HUGE INCONVENIENCE that for the 4 year old to use the kid’s pool area, 1 or both of her parents had to be 6 floors below the rest of the group and their older kid. I totally agree …….. putting the little kids pool area down there was the most stupid idea ever.

I know you can’t fit in it with 5 people, but the Surfside Family Suite is HORRIBLE, even for 4 people.. Our friends had that room on our cruise in February. They booked it long ago and only paid $7k for 4 people and they HATED that room and said they’d never do it again. It was small for two adults and two 12 year old boys, they felt like a regular balcony room would have been better. The bed the boys had to sleep on was so short that both of their feet hung off the end about 6 inches when laying flat and they are only 5’ 4”. The overall area of the room seemed smaller than most balcony rooms. It only had 1 small closet and the closet wasn’t even deep enough for the supplied hangers to fit properly. The hangers had to turn sideways to fit in the depth of the closet which made the space available to hang clothes even less.

Unpopular Opinion (but the truth): The new MDR menus lines up with the Windjammer menu and tastes exactly the same as in the Windjammer ………. Whatever the Windjammer is serving that night, the MDR is serving the exact same thing ……….. the only difference between the 2 is that the Windjammer has a bigger selection of food choices than the MDR menu and gets your out faster LOL The only decent dinner food anymore is at Specialty Dining or in the Coastal Kitchen (if you’re in a suite)

Are you, your wife, and child not connected as a family? If you are, all 3 of you should have received the number of points received for the cruise that the one in the single room received ……. 14 ………. When you’re connected as a family you’d also all have the total nymber of points as the person in your family with the most points. For instance, 2 years ago my spouse and son were in a balcony room, I was alone in the room next door. Because we’re all connected as a family, we ALL went up 14 points after the cruise. Also, I’ve been on 5 cruises that my family hasn’t been on, but we all currently have 233 points.

We have both Labor Day weekend and Columbus Day weekend booked and both of those only show the same picture you posted.

We had a great time, it’s a beautiful ship ….. but there are just so many things about the Icon class that are a downgrade in your experience as compared to Oasis Class. We didn’t even mention to the kids that we didn’t care for the ship, and they all said totally on their own that they’d rather stick with oasis class from now on.

I wish they weren’t replacing Wonder in PCN with Star for the 7 night trips. We were on the 2/10-17 sailing of Icon and much prefer Oasis class ships. Our group of 15 (8 adults and 7 kids from 12 to 17) were unanimous in that we would rather not sail on an Icon class ship again.

Why would you want to pay dinner prices for food off the lunch menu? if they do make it for you, you’ll still have to pay the dinner flat fee pricing. Just go there for lunch lol

WONDER ……… both the child pool and the waters slides are now in the same area and that makes it much easier if you have kids of different ages

We just now received our email this morning …….. actually it did come last night …… I just didn’t notice it until now lol

Anyone who’s been on the first 2 Icon sailings …….. When did the suite concierge reach out to you? We’re now only 5 days away from our sailing on 2/10 and still nothing. TIA
