I think unless the price drops enough where we can pick our cabin, which then I can pick the same Ov balcony for both, we'll stay with what we have. If we used the balcony more than a few minutes each day I'd be more pushing for the change but

Yes, it'd be a oceanview balcony. And no obstructed oceanview view balconies on any oasis class ships

Agreed! We found ourselves using the balcony less and less, and loved how dark and cool the interior cabin was. We randomly had the virtual balcony on Wonder last month and that felt like a nice in between because I could at least see what it was like outside at any time instantly.

Decisions decisions. I was shocked my wife and I didn't hate the interior our first time after 20 cruises of balcony or above

I keep going back and forth on it since I didn't mind the interior when I was 100% against it for years until we tried it.

Currently, we're booked in a casino comp b2b in the same cabin. It's a virtual balcony, which we've had before and didn't mind. I can upgrade to an oceanview balcony guarantee for each sailing for about $30 total between the two sailings.. Obvious downside is not having the same cabin and having to change cabins. Would you just keep what I have, or get the oceanview balcony but have to move after day 4? The more we've done interiors/virtual balconies, I don't mind them, it's just so cheap to go to the oceanview balcony that it has me considering it.

Is all the Icon merch that showed up in the cabin in the beginning no longer a thing? Like the Icon hats etc. I'm assuming that stopped after the first few sailings.

Agreed. I noticed that on the transatlantic last fall on Odyssey going back to the US. Many food items & drink items were different than the normal US sailings. Diet coke was "coke light". The hot dogs & sausages at breakfast were completely different, and not in a good way. Not a fan of Italian hot dogs lol. The one major win was the ice cream. The Italian provider ice cream mix they used blew the normal US mix out of the water!

Haven't stepped foot in the mdr in years.

Anyone else with opinions on Empire Supper club and the steak?

Did anyone in your party have the steak? Curious if you liked it since reviews claim that to be the only negative being the steak

Did you do the steak at empire? Curious if you thought it was good since the video reviews seem to say the only negative being the steak

Anyone here done any of the Iconic cuts on icon in chops? Curious if they thought the quality was above the normal steaks at chops

Completely forgot about that being an option with chops on Icon!

We've gone back and forth on trying it. The one thing that's surprised me is many reviews on YouTube talk about how their only disappointment was the steak. Which, I'd be ordering the steak because paying that price for a fish or rabbit seems over the top, so that makes me a little hesitant. A few videos I saw said they thought the filet in chops was better, and I've yet to be wowed by a steak in Chops.

For those who have sailed Icon, have you come across at any point where they're walking around offering Empire supper club at a discounted rate like other specialty restaurants sometimes during the sailings in the promenade, breakfast etc? On the flip side, at $200 a person, for those who have done it, did you enjoy it and felt the experience was worth it? Thanks! Considering it for next month.

Would any of these cabins have a slightly bigger balcony and maybe a partial aft view? From the few aft pictures of Sun Princess, it almost looks like the balconies for those very last cabins would wrap slightly and have an aft view? 10639/11642 specifically..

I know two weeks ago it was stifling the entire week and we just had to spend most of the time in the pool inside.

Excellent! Outside of it being a connecting balcony, definitely can't complain on location being right outside of the stairwell/elevators on such a massive ship!

I have an android, so the add to apple wallet trick doesn't work, but I downloaded a barcode reader. Is it safe to assume my cabin number is at the top? I'm thinking it is.

Hi all. First time sailing Princess in January on Sun princess and looking at flights from FLL. On Royal, we always carry off our luggage and have made 10am flights with no issues from Ft Lauderdale.. Is there a similar process on princess where we can carry our stuff off and be off the ship by 7-7:30 or is that not possible on Princess? Thanks!

You know, I considered doing a live report but then forgot about it. It's definitely been great so far. Oasis class has been my favorite and this being the most modern takes the cake. My only complaint is the solarium. This is a Casino cruise, and I've had very good luck in the casino this week which makes it even better. We're on Icon next month through the casino so I may do a live report from that one. I'm so excited to try it out. Here's a picture of my current situation ☺️

We've used it a few times so far and it's just nice going home with less work to do to get back to the grind. I'm guilty of dumping all our laundry in one load at home, so outside of dress clothes, it all goes and so far, it's been fine. Lol.

Is the free laundry perk only 1 per cabin, or since my wife and I are both diamond plus, we'd get 2 free bags on a 7 night cruise?

This is what I get when I go to the website and go to entertainment within the cruise planner:
