  • Join us as we embark on Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas out of the Port of Miami for a 7-night Eastern Caribbean Cruise. This was for Spring Break 2024 and we left on March 23, 2024.
    This vlog covers our second sea day on the cruise which was Day 3. I started off my day by hitting the gym and Rider went to Adventure Ocean. Then at noon, we headed to Crown's Edge, a fear-inducing challenge that’s part skywalk, part ropes course, part thrill ride and an all-out test of your courage. We booked this pre-cruise at $67/pp which was the cheapest price it went to on our sailing.
    Now the minimum height is 49.2" and minimum weight is 44 lbs, however this is really not accurate. We saw several kids who met these requirements, but were turned away because the harness didn't fit properly. Basically, if your child is slender, they may have an issue. Rider is 51" and 70 lbs and he JUST made it.
    I also do not recommend going on a sea day if you have small kids. It was extremely windy our day and both Ray and I had to push against the wind to get out there. Rider was unable to complete it (he also got scared).
    After that, we had lunch and Rider wanted to go back to Adventure Ocean and Ray went to the gym, so I decided to go to the only 3pm show of "The Wizard of Oz". This is actually a great time to see the show as there were plenty of seats available.
    After that, we decided to hide a few of our cruising ducks before we got ready for dinner.

    Bubbles looks like a fun little spot! I haven’t really heard many people talk about it. Rider is so brave for even wanting to try Crowns Edge!

      It is! I think it’s a great little spot. And that bartender was so nice. He was so excited that I was filming him and including him in my vlog.

      He was. He was so excited but it is very scary. I plan to make a dedicated video about it and give advice about dos and don’t.
      If I had to do it again, I would book it on a port day, especially if Rider wanted to try it again. Fortunately zip lining went MUCH better

      Thank you! I had to take a break from editing due to work (my real job) and then with my dog passing away. Hopefully I can get the rest of my footage edited quickly.

      @ShannonFord oh wow so sorry to hear about your dog. We have 3 dogs our fur babies. You must be devastated. Dogs touch our lives in so many wonderful ways without even trying or asking for anything in return. I've lost a few and it's never easy.

      @@bigguy1403 thank you so much. I posted a little something about it in my community tab. She was elderly and I knew her time was limited, but it came suddenly and quickly and no one can really prepare you.

      @ShannonFord Your right. No one can prepare you.

    Sorry Shannon - someday when we do a podcast cruise i am NOT joining you on that. I don't blame Rider at all for passing on that!

      LOL! That’s all good. Not sure I would do it again unless Rider wants me to. Once was enough.

    Do you know if the ship was at capacity, and if so, how crowded did it feel? Our sailing in June is sold out and worried it will be crowded.

    • @ShannonFord
      @ShannonFord  Месяц назад

      It was sold out but not at full capacity because not every room was filled to capacity. But we did have 2700 kids which at the time was the most kids on any Royal Caribbean sailing EVER.
      For the most part, this ship distributes passengers very well. The exception is the pool deck. There are simply NOT enough pools for the amount of people. Also, pool hogs were out in full force and one day, I had to leave our belongings on the floor as we could not find even 1 chair (even far away) to place them on. I will be doing a recap video addressing the pros and cons of this ship.
