No, but a lot of people are just saying things are sold out and don't know whats going on. If you have a specific date and category you just have to have, adding the third person might be worth it.

Booked it last minute for a slight premium in a balcony cabin. Many things on the ship did not work well yet (never got on Northstar as it was a 3 hour wait) and there was almost no recognition about it being a milestone cruise because there had been the TA and other press cruises and already. I am very hesitant to spend top dollar on an early cruise. Good times 😉 We were on the first sailing and the ship wasn’t even finished from the yard. We had entire areas being occupied with tech teams. Couldn’t get into our room the first day, Dynamic dining was a mess and the POS went down frequently. It was a crazy crossing from Southampton indeed. The ship changed appearance since new art work went up constantly. Most things did work when we got to the US, but we said then that we would never to do first sailing again. Well, we went on the first Harmony too…. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairsky84 Posted October 26, 2022 #2285 Share Posted October 26, 2022 "Legend of the Seas" is a good name option. If we're drawing from RCI history, I would love to see them honor Song of Norway, their first ship, by naming Icon II "Song of the Seas." There is something satisfying to me about all of the Icon-class ships having 4-letter names. Some options: Song of the Seas Opus of the Seas Apex of the Seas Idol of the Seas Diva of the Seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ever found that map of the cabin layouts. It is such a huge help as its always a relief to know what is above and below you. Plus I value TAs time and like to be set to go, not waffling trying to make decisions. Now we will just wait to see what they say all those beautiful cabin colors equate to- as there are some new cabin categories to tempt everyone. But I was able to pick out my first 10 pair choices (need 2) to try for depending on how long it takes to get through, the phones are going to be hopping. Cannot shout out thank you loud enough for the help, THANK YOU! You're welcome, no problem. I know it's been a few days and maybe you've already made your choice, but wanted to let you know that Royal has the normal, easier to read deck plans on their website now, with all the square footage and descriptions for each cabin type. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/icon-of-the-seas/deck-plans/2250/07 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-2 Posted October 27, 2022 #2293 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Secretlyfi, thank you for thinking of me, thanks to your deck plans I had picked out quite a few pairs of staterooms, not realizing they really didn't open bookings as they had on their other ships. We haven't been able to get anything yet for the week we wanted, Mar 30th. I didn't want guarantee. But are hoping they open it up more further down the road. We tried 2 to a cabin and booking 2 cabins, nothing available except on deck 14! One cabin was available on deck 12 but then we would be on different floors. I saw on here many ran into the same problem so I will just be patient until they relax that requirement a bit, was just unprepared. Can't imagine 4 adults in a cabin, even a balcony type. But given the losses trying to stay afloat during a pandemic, they probably need to get some revenue flowing. Love this ship, those first few months onboard are going to be Packed. I hope you were especially able to get what you wanted and again, thanks for all the much appreciated help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked for you, and saw that there are quite a few of the large balcony staterooms on 3/30/24, but they are aft. And many are next to each other for two people..

Rats, I wish they let us share TA names here, I tried through RCCL on Mon, and khen the big box store on Tues, both said zero available other than RCCL would let me have a couple spread out on deck 14 only, or the single room on 12. Lower is better for one in our foursome who is sensitive to ocean motion so I was trying not to be so high up, closer to 8 actually. I knew lots of other people reported not being able to book unless they had more than 2 to a room. RCCL certainly nailed it with their new ship, we are going to need more of them.

All 12 of the aft facing D4 balconies are available on deck 14 for the March 30 sailing, Lots of the D4's on deck 12 forward, a bunch of D2 midship deck 12. You need to find a good TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
