No, because you all make a mess and slop up the spot, it’s much better with the guy doing it that way nobody makes it ridiculously overloaded cone that spills all over the place

Right? In over 30 years of cruising with royal, never been on a ship that I felt was neglected, ever.

Nope. I don’t understand this whole RXL has got too expensive nonsense. Yeah, if you’re looking to go on a brand new ship like the wonder, Utopia or icon yeah you’re gonna pay a lot of money. I found A cruise on the harmony of the seas next year out of Galveston in February, balcony room for three people, $1,970. how much cheaper do you expect Royal to go and still make money? I don’t know, but I seriously think some of you are living in a crazy make-believe world with your assumptions that Royal Caribbean is too expensive. If that is the case, then you’re only option is carnival which I’m sorry I would never ever ever ever ever ever ever cruise or Margaritaville at Sea. if you know the absolute simplest basics economics then don’t book high demand ships because high demand equals high prices. It’s a pretty simple formula. I know it’s hard 🤣🤣🤣 but try booking a ship that’s maybe five years or older I promise you you won’t be disappointed

I did not wear a shirt.

We can agree to disagree. I’ve been a Coco cay I think five times since the upgrade and I find all of their slides tame except for the tall one that goes all the way to the top. In my opinion the icon slides are just as good. From what I experienced, the icon of the seas has a legit waterpark. The oasis class slides are definitely slow and you always get stuck in the toilet bowl.

Icon of the Seas. 6 LEGIT waterslides. Oasis class PERFECTED. there are 2 fast slides 4 medium paced, nothing slow at all. Frightening Bolt and Pressure Drop are FAST. Aside from the tallest waterslide at Coco Cay, the slides are just as good on Icon. Once the lines got too long at Coco Cay I got back on Icon, no lines and slides just as good.

Wizard of Oz on Icon and Aqua80 on Oasis.

I just bought the Meta Quest 3, watching movies while traveling will never be the same. Its the coolest thing EVER. Having a 15 foot 4k screen wherever I go is so cool! I had no idea you could connect with your phone; I have an Iphone and there was not a screen mirror connect to the room tv. Don't know about Chromecast.

I was on 2/10-2/17. Just look at a birds eye view of the pathways on Icon vs Oasis Central Park.They are so tight n narrow on Oasis. I got people rage on it, like road rage but getting stuck behind slow slow slow walkers in Central Park because the pathways are so narrow! Also what drove me nuts on Oasis was the whole darn one side of the pool deck is for smoking, couldnt even breathe on that side of the pool deck so essentially half the pool loungers were a no go on Oasis.

If Icon is bad, Oasis is 3 times worse than on sea days on the pool deck. I've experienced it on Oasis. It's not fun. The whole Oasis class is so spacious is a myth on sea days. Also, no more whole one side of the pool deck is a smokefest. No more of that on Icon. One section far away from the pool is the smoking ara, no longer the whole pool deck on one side. Never had a problem during my Icon cruise with loungers. They 5,610 people onboard the Icon.... Also the promenade and Central park blow away Oasis class, so much wider and more room, no congestion. Central Park was so tight in the pathways on Oasis class, not anymore on Icon. Basically if you ever sailed Oasis class full capacity and enjoyed, you won't have a problem here in my opinion. There are so many more loungers to choose from, Promenade way more spacious without those islands in the middle to sell crap and the central park pathways are wide, no more getting stuck behind slow pokes or someone constantly stopping to take a photo.. Lines for waterslides? Oasis class has 3 slides, Icon has 6. I wouldnt pay these prices either, I got a balcony room in Oct of 22 for 3 people for 4,100 dollars. It will be 3-4 years before the demand for Icon class wanes, these ships are Oasis perfected.

I’m just basing it on my experience on the oasis in August 2022 and my experience on the icon on February. Oasis, there was no place to sit on the pool deck on sea days. For years, I’ve been hearing about the oasis class and how spacious it is in the pool decks. Well in August 2022 it was the farthest thing from that.

I feel the same way I want absolute control of my vacation and planning I don’t wanna have to deal with the middleman

Complete opposite with me, they always ask. Diamond+ here

It is on your SeaPass card and they will ask if you would like to use the diamond voucher

Just got back from Icon of the Seas. Here is my opinion on what really got improved upon vs Oasis class. 1. Royal Promenade: So much wider and spacious. True full 2 levels. Ocean views FINALLY in the promenade. 2. Drink Stations: Remember the Lemonade, Fruit Punch, Kiwi Strawberry, etc. juices in Windjammer? Now they are at multiple venues through out the ship. Pearl Cafe, Aquadome Marketplace, Park Cafe, etc.... The Lookout in AquaDome: 2 in 1. Better spot for aqua shows to now utilize all of the surfside area and 2 much better use of the old solarium venue. I just can't get enough of this place. The views from Dawn til Dusk are amazing and then the transformation at night is just beautiful. I just don't have the words to describe how special this spot is. Thrill Waterpark: Its open from 9am till 9pm. 6 slides, Flow Rider & Crowns Edge. Every single waterslide is LEGIT. Wwent multiple times through out the cruise. Best of all was going to Thrill Waterpark at night in the middle of the ocean without any lines. Me and my son spent 2 straight hours from 7 till 9pm on the last night. Amazing and really cool at night. This blows away the 3 slides on Oasis Class. The 2 level Pool Deck: I didn't swim much but what I can attest to is there more than enough loungers in the sun and in the shade, Never ever had an issue finding a spot close to a pool. Also, never felt crowded, not in the least. In August of 22 the pool decks on oasis felt PACKED. Oceanviews: Biggest complaint about Oasis class is I dont really feel like I'm on a cruise, Im having a blast but I rarely see the ocean unless on the Jogging track or at the edge of the pool decks, Almost every restaurant and bar has windows to the seas on Icon. The most amazing Oceanview aspect to me? YOU CAN GET OCEANVIEWS FROM CENTRAL PARK!!!! Somehow someway they figured it out. I find that amazing. Aquadome and Absolute Zero: You will just have to experience it yourself to understand... Any questions feel free to ask.

I wish people would look at statistics customer return all those business things because if you did a lot of you who are saying that Roy doesn’t care about the repeat customers you would find how off-base you are with that opinion. And frankly, it’s not that hard to have great meals on 23 cruises over a 30 year timeframe. my apologies for not having any negative opinions on the meals. I’ll be sure to look at the glass half empty next time. Cheers! I’ll be sure to post about all the food on icon and just over three weeks PS I’m sure Royal is going to take the millions upon millions of surveys they get at the end of each cruise as their feedback as opposed to a few hundred possibly a few thousand critics on a cruise forum… the majority far far far outweigh the minority. if Royal made a decision based on a few people who post in a cruise forum… cmon…. I started in this forumin the early 2000s, lost the account…. this place hasn’t changed since which is a very very very very very very, very, very, very bad thing. It’s just a place that everyone likes to throw darts at each other sources do matter that’s why it’s very very hard for me to take anybody on this forum seriously when all they do is nag and complain, and I constantly ask myself why the hell are they still cruising on the cruise line if they hate it so much? something doesn’t make sense. When I go to a hotel and I had a bad experience, I won’t be back when I buy a product that failed me miserably. I won’t be back when I buy something or go anywhere where I felt the product wasn’t right for the price paid I wouldn’t be back, but yet they keep coming back and finally Frankly I find it immature to passively aggressive talk about me without speaking to me directly.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your assessment. Agree to disagree

Wow, I didn’t notice that. I thought this is what they experienced. People really need to stop living through other people and experience it on their own. like others have said, if I never cruised, and started reading these posts in this forum, I would never cruise ever in my life. Cruises sounds like a living nightmare when you read about it here.

Same here.
