AshleyDillo Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 The Grove also has a bar and a pool. I imagine this is where the parents will sit and watch their children in the pool. MaryS, Neesa, Cactus527 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing the group cruise over July 4 so I imagine it will be a bit more packed. But you will experience it first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyDillo Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 We have the aquadome show at 8pm. Reservations are for the bench row seats..but there is a row of tables and chairs behind the last row and those are open for anyone that wants them. If you don't catch a reservation show up early and snag a spot. We have reservations but these chairs are more comfy than the seats in the dome For extra credit..name the vloggers! Some of the comfy chairs are for handicapped and some arent. MaryS, tingtang, sammy79 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Dinner Night 1 CK: They have switched up the menu slightly. Some items (like the lobster main salad) have moved into Night 1, and some are new, like the arancini. The app menu for CK hasn’t updated and the day is almost done Everything was good in CK tonight. Except the venue itself. I don’t think I am a fan of this new setup here. The lounge is way too close to CK, and the dining tables are squeeze really close together. Where we sat we literally felt like we were sitting with the people next to us. And people walking by literally brush up against table. Also, not a fan of how you lose the view of the outside. The Aqua Dome is actually distracting for dinner once it gets started. Ampurp85, Jax, Yesiamthere and 9 others 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Random sail away photos. Fireworks were a nice touch, longer than I expected.

LOL I still can’t get over the idea of escalators on cruise ships, it just seems so crazy. Also on the deck plans I think it was indicated somewhere that there are escalators to deck 2 or the gangway area? I’m interested to hear how practical those end up being on port days.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Some photos from the ice show. Video clips on IG shortly. This show was well done. Similar themes to the shows on HM/SY/WN where there is some central character that takes you through time/or in this case elements. But good special effects and the oval rink allowed the skaters to come in from more directions.

But the ones I visited, not much wait at all. When we took a quick walk around Deck 16 today (around 3:30pm), we did not notice many lines. Tomorrow will be a better test because it’s a sea day.

So great to be following along and enjoying Icon through all of you. Seems like a beautiful ship with just "Wows" all over. The Windjammer on this cruise too is first class! Question about the sofa bed. Has Royal stopped the trundle style sofa beds where a double sofa turns into two separate mattresses? Or maybe it's just your room (as your looks like it's more of a double bed)? I sure hope not as for our Icon booking we had to go back to a single room and our kids sharing a double (sofa) bed won't work. The trundle style is perfect as they each get their own mattrtess. jbrinkm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
