Having stayed in the Owner's Suite, I think it should be fine. Looking at a room tour video for each, the couch might be bigger in the Owner's Suite. If anything, the living room area in the Owner's Suite might be a touch wider. Not having a downstairs bathroom gives a little bit more depth in the Owner's Suite's useable living area.

Things I kinda miss from Royal... Heli pad sailway.

I'd have to say it was a fun experience. The thing that took me by surprise was how quick the whole experience was. From start to finish was around 15 to 20 minutes. Guess it might have been obvious the demo boarding day, making 3 items during in 45 minutes. Will say my left arm got very toasty in the process.

Classes are not free. However, the copious amount of OBC from Celebrity covered it. It's a shame the promotion at the time of booking is gone for the seeable future.

Wednesday is Costa Maya, Thursday is a choppy sea day.

Look who just showed up in town...

Guess we're on a Western Caribbean sailing now...

Email from the shoreside Retreat host was received 9/23, sailing 11/18. Beyond that, I didn't really do any communicating since someone else enjoys talking on the phone. Don't think any thing was done over email other than verification of conversations or reporting reservations had been made.

If anyone is interested the Cruise Compass has been posted. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compasses/icon-of-the-seas/sat-01272024-0000

Chef's Table is held in the same spot as Celebration Table.

For Rope the Jackpot watchers... Just inside the smoking area are two "Pinball Double Gold", 9 line, 10 credit max. Credits .25, .50, $1, and $2. Plus two "Double Top Dollar" on the otherside of the Pinball machines, same credit setup. Between these two games were my winning sessions. Various Buffalo style machines just trampled over my money.

Yes in the SL, I did snag an Angry Orchard once or twice. Waters and sodas numerous times.
