Crazy scene already.  Is the suite/Pinn line just as long?

At about 11:45 there was no suite/Pinnacle line. As soon as we entered the terminal we were immediately taken to the elevator to go up to be checked in. About 10 minutes to get on the ship.

The Dome on the Sun is one of the things that intrigues me on that ship.  Very similar concept they will use for shows at night, and as a solarium pool during the day.

 

At least the inaugural for Icon is going smoother.  The inaugural for Sun was supposed to be a week from Wednesday, and they just announced last Wednesday that it was cancelled. 

 

The Sun?

CD Mike said there are almost 220 Pinnacles onboard. This was on the TV and I didn't here about the others.

OMG the ice sculpture! Bringing back those midnight buffet vibes of old...🥰

Hope everyone on the Icon has an amazing trip.

 

One question if anyone happens to explore speciality dining.

 

I’m wondering - are there fewer options for speciality dining than on the wonder?

 

Also of the speciality dining, are there fewer restaurants where the dining package would work without an extra fee?

 

Wonder had

mason jar

wonderland

150 central park

izumi

hooked

chops

giovanis

 

icon seems to have

izumi

hooked

chops

giovanis

 

-extra and limited space - celebration table

-extra and very limited space - empire supper club

 

Is there no 150 Central Park on icon?  Besides chops and Giovani's, are there other nice upper end restaurants that would be included in a dining package (we usually do chops, 150 Central Park plus wonderland or Giovani's on wonder for dining package nicer dinners and then mason jar and hooked for casual lunches).

Thanks!

I saw a video when the show was going on, and it didn’t look like sight lines were very good from the back, at least from their camera vantage point.  Will be interested in how it is. 

I noticed that as well

We got here at 11am and did not have to wait in line for a regular room.   Walked into the lobby and went to the right for the elevator.   

 

When we got up it was not busy.

And we went down the ramp to the ship.

What time did you get to port terminal for there to be no queue at all? When you say regular room I take it you’re not a suite guest?

The Sun? 

Yes, Princess line, but a new ship we booked for next year, because it was so much less than Oasis.
