Fairsky84 Posted October 7, 2022 #1631 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Icon's bow looks so, SO much better than the parabolic bow on Celebrity's Edge-class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topanga49er Posted October 7, 2022 #1632 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Question for those who understand this build much more than me: Aft: Why would they make the aft decks progressively larger as they go up, opposite aft on O class? If they are suites, won't that mean no sun on the balconies? Or possibly something else? Aft staterooms are my favorite.. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One advantage I can think of is that you won't be looking down onto other balconies. I little more privacy. I think it looks great like that. Not just a copy of something else. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydrojim Posted October 10, 2022 #1639 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I’m a little disappointed. It appears that Royal Caribbean has again done away with the most iconic part of the brand… no Viking Crown on the Icon series of ships. It’s a shame in my opinion. The Quantum ships would have looked much better if they would have had one, even if it was smaller than normal to keep the ships stability. Long live the crown!

Does that mean it's ok for anyone to take my car? This attitude about online content drives me crazy, and it causes a lot of harm. Websites generate revenue through ads. Payment from advertisers is determined by how much traffic a website gets. RoyalCaribbeanBlog.com paid for a drone photographer to capture photos of Icon, and then published those photos exclusively on their website in order to generate views, traffic, and revenue. When someone takes those photos and re-posts them on another side (like this one) they are guilty of two things: 1. Taking someone's property without permission and, 2. Stealing their revenue by reducing their site traffic and ad sales. I know most people just think anything on the internet is free to use, take, and repost. We seem to think digital property is different from physical property, but it's not. As a content creator myself, I do care how my work is misused or stolen online. It does have real $ impact.

People steal digital content daily. Doesn't make it right. Doesn't make it defensible. However, one needs to understand that reality when putting content online. He could of put it behind a paywall. (although it gets stolen from there too) Matt is staying in $20K a week Aqua Theater suites ... sounds like he is doing just fine. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok to steal from people as long as they're rich (or at least richer then me). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I'm not defending it. I'm not denying it is wrong. I'm just pointing out that it is a reality. If you think you can post pictures on a web site and say no one else can use these then you are pretty naive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
