I’m on the same sailing and was also disappointed when I got that email. I read on a roll call for a September 25’ sailing, that Labadee was added in lieu of Puerto Plata. I am curious why the same wasn’t done here.
We just booked a GTY balcony for Icon next June and I'm surprised we got a room assignment already. However, once I saw where it was on deck 14, I requested a room change and it was granted.
There is no etiquette in the Windjammer. Those people are savages. LOL. I'm kidding. I just walk around people who are holding up the line for one thing.
Not sure if this has been posted already or if anyone cares, but Nick Weir (Head of Entertainment) has left RCL.

I remember when we did Wonder last summer and I was expecting lobster, shrimp, etc. in the WJ because I kept seeing videos of it from previous cruises, but NOPE. Lol.
Unfortunately, with all of that hype that surrounded this ship, I just knew people couldn’t wait to pounce and find every little thing wrong with it. But like you said, all of these opinions without actually experiencing it.
You dont like the suite space on Icon. It’s not as nice as the suite space on Wonder. I think we get it. You don’t have a suite booked, but yet you keep ranting about the same thing as if it effects you in some way.
