Of course besides the inside terminal restrooms there is also one just outside the terminal entry door. It was right across from where we saw people getting their rental scooters. We were waiting there for my DH that was returning on the Budget car rental comp shuttle. I actually used this restroom. It's clearly marked.
I must say that on several RCI cruises we've seen the lifeguards very spot on about monitoring this type of situation in the pools. Sorry to hear it's not what you're experiencing onboard your Icon cruise. Hopefully this situation will be addressed with the staff going forward.
I would do self assist walk off and use a private/shared shuttle. We have easily made a flight around this time frame. Usually getting to MCO from Port Canaveral around 9:00am.
This can and does happen with the Satellite. Happened to us especially on our Panama Canal itinerary....So it depends on where the ship happens to be. Nothing you can do about it when it does.
This was one of the best tours we did in Puntarenas Costa Rica. So glad we booked this with a group from our rollcall.

Just in Saint John again this past October on our Canada NE cruise. There's a fairly new shopping area (container village) right at the port.
Also it's an easy walk to the famous City Market.
We stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Elizabeth NJ. Great location and recently refurbished. Our most recent stay was last October. The hotel offers a comp shuttle from EWR to the hotel.
I too am disappointed with the new phone in for RCI. However I got through easily the other day to add our gratuities by just opting for the "book a new cruise" and the "live" rep answered quickly.
If you have any problems after reading the above post just ask your cabin steward and they will put in a request for an electrician to come to your cabin and help you.
Don't be concerned about doing this. It's usually easy for my DH to hook up our Firestick but on a couple of RCI ships we've had to ask for help and were told that they do this all the time. We of course gave a thank you ($) to the crew member that came to help.
We've had a few and at one time I mailed them to a poster here on CC. He managed to give them to some other posters that wanted them for their collection.
Our most recent (Feb) Explorer cruise I filled out the card to opt out of receiving that one.
I think that option is new.
We're long time RCI cruisers but we cruised on Celebrity Summit this past March and loved the ship. It's been completely upgraded and beautiful and the OceanView Cafe is one of the best buffets we've seen. I would absolutely sail on Summit again.
With that late flight arrival you should absolutely stay in Orlando. You might consider the hotel at the airport and then take a shared shuttle from there to Port Canaveral cruise day morning.
Try Cruise Control or Cortrans among many that are highly recommended on this board.
Also book it as a return as well.
