- The world's largest cruise ship, the Icon of the Seas, is just 9 days away from carrying nearly 10,000 people around the Caribbean. For comparison, the Titanic was 883 feet long before it sank in 1912, while the Icon of the Seas measures close to 1,200 feet. CBS News senior transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave got an exclusive look at the massive ship as it set sail on a test cruise.

"Newly Wed & Nearly Dead" got me laughing like the joker.
Thank God I'm not the only one who was like: What?!
Titanic wasn’t a cruise ship btw
That's true she was an ocean liner. And the Icon doesn't "pale in comparison" to Titanic; they used that phrase completely wrong. It's the opposite. Titanic pales in comparison to Icon. Interesting segment overall.
I grew up in a town of about 10,000 people. Though that is a HUGE ship, that's a lot of people even in a space that size.
Just got back a week ago from the cruise. My wife,me ,my 2 brothers families plus other friends families. We had a blast! I would do all over again and the near future. The workers on board did a fabulous job and they work hard.
Going on my first cruise with the family in February. I swore I’d never go on one for the past 20 years but here we are. I must admit, I’m kind of excited.
I'll pray for you. But spending that kind of money is ridiculous unless you're going around the world and getting off at every port for 2 days to explore the cities.
Enjoy! I’ll be celebrating my birthday and graduation on the icon in July 🎉
@@Chicago48that’s the whole point of cruising
You're literally going to have the best time of your life. Just let go and lose yourself, and expect to gain like 20 pounds from all the free food, but that comes with the territory. You could make a rule to always use the stairs instead of the elevator to burn it off. But sometimes there's an elusive piano man in the elevator that's fun to catch.
@@kernelxsanders That’s what I like to hear. lol.
Things have certainly changed. Cruising use to mean only going indoors to eat or sleep and spending most of your time looking out at the ocean, sunbathing or playing outdoor games like shuffle board or basketball. Now most of the rooms look inwards at the ship’s attractions and activities and you hardly can see the ocean from the ship‘s rooms except from the windows on the observation deck. It’s like mobile phones when they first came out, everyone would talk constantly to each other no matter how close they were to each other. Now they sit next to each other and just texting and not talking.
Its a floating prison IMO. 7600 people is tooo much. It's a little city.
Lol this cruise ship class doesn’t represent the entire cruise ship industry. All you gotta do is not go on it and browse the next set class of ships
Being surrounded with 10 Thousand people and you call it vacation 🤣
Introvert alert
As a former passenger on the Titanic, I can affirm this ship is definitely larger!
Me too….travelled back in 97 for a 3 hour epic journey!
She said pales in comparison to the titanic. Doesn’t that mean this new ship isn’t as good as the titanic? lol
@@user-sb7lv2tk9m Yeah, May be the editor was drinking when he wrote the story…and the anchor of course reads what’s is in there…😀
How old are you? 🤔
Your still alive?
me and my wife will be on icon for our honeymoon, got married back in oct of last year but decided we wanted to be on one of the first sailings for icon! we are counting down and cant wait
My curiosity has got the best of me, please do tell how your cruise went, was it very thrilling?
@@thecatholicnextdoor3058 icon was beautiful, definitely centered around families and kids, we had a blast though
I sailed on liners (RMS Queen Mary and Elizabeth, SS France) and worked on cruise ships in the 1980s. The idea of approx. 8000 passengers descending on a destination all at once is dreadful! These new cruise ships are too big not to mention graceless. And the Titanic was a liner!
0:11 Titanic was an ocean liner, not cruise ship
Yeah, I have learned that the news doesn't care. Planes, trains, ships, etc.
And she said “it pales in comparison to the Titanic”. Isn’t that the opposite?
Spot on, my friend. I thought the very same.
Very poorly written. This piece doesn’t even qualify as ‘journalism’.
She also got the 'pales in comparison' order wrong...
Nobody cares
Probably not a good idea to compare a Vessel to the Titanic! 😅
This will create an awesome spectacle when it capsizes
You must be a pessimist!! Always seeing the down side!! It will never happen because God protects us all
If I had a 40k budget for a vacation I wouldn’t spend it on a Royal Caribbean cruise
The largest ship I was on in my maritime
career was the Supertanker Berlin.
1250 ft.
Me a 9 hp aluminum boat on the St Lawrence River.
it's basically the axiom
Report said " $3,500 for 7 days" WRONG!! its more like $8500 for 2 guest... ( without the beverage package) ... We are crusing March 2024 on Icon, fingers crossed**
You’re right. I booked for April 2024 and somehow landed a balcony for 2 adults and a child for $3701 plus I got a $100 room credit. I checked the same room and it’s over $9,000 now!!!
‘It’s bigger then the titanic, probably a good thing’ 😂
Most impressive view of the bridge I’ve seen yet. Can’t wait to see more behind the scenes. Thank you.
Built in Turku, Finland 🇫🇮🇫🇮
Absolutely beautiful 🚢⚓🚢⚓
Is this the next ship of dreams?
"Titanic sinked in 1912"
Cruise travel is one of the worst things you can do in terms of climate. Studies have shown that cruise travel emits more CO2 per passenger than if you travel by plane and stay in a hotel. Cruise travelers also fly to the ships' port of departure, and this costs in the climate account.
Icon of the Seas sails on so-called LNG fuel, which stands for liquefied natural gas. It emits around 25 percent less CO2 than 'normal' fuel. On the other hand, it emits methane gas, which is even worse than CO2, which is otherwise the more well-known climate culprit.
Methane can be up to 84 times better at absorbing heat and therefore has a massive impact on the atmosphere.
Safety? In case of unprecedented or unpredictable weather? Looks awesome 💯
This story has got to be sponsored by Royal Caribbean somehow, reads like RC's marketing team wrote it... amazing feat of engineering though
Beautiful ship 🚢 my next vacation is on I con of the Seas ❤
NO WAY i would want to be on that floating claustrophobic box on the sea. No escape!
plenty of lifeboats and life vests...
The only time I took a cruise was to Cartagena and the ABC islands, Limon and Panama. It was Pullmanturs Monarch. It was maybe a ship for some 2000 people. It felt small. I d only take a small cruise again, something like NCL or Carnival. But I did fall in love forever.
My friend called it the world's largest petri dish. I tend to agree.
U ever been
Don’t worry. U can’t afford it anyway 😂
@@jaymann3909 Oh yeah! One of the best trips of our lives but the times, they are a-changin'. to quote Dylan. (And by that I mean the GERMS, they are a-changin'. )
Imagine 7600 passengers with the Hershey Squirts.
@@kenmcalpine2215 😫 That's an image I won't be able to get rid of. 🤮
For the crew like me its better to work on small ship it could be chaos and so much crowded a lot of cruisers choose small ships rather A big one
Royal Caribbean is amazing
Absolutely AWESOME GORGEOUS
After 7 times cruising , still want to go with this 😅
We've gone on 4 cruises in 2 years, next month is our 5th and we're just in our early 40s. We can't get enough 😅 We'd like to sail with Icon when it comes here to Europe.
Absolutely amazing 👏 ❤❤
I think you’d comment that you repeatedly mentioned (newly wed and nearly dead are tasteless. How does that make us seniors feel?
The Titantic pales in comparison to the Icon of the Seas... not the other way around lol.
Glad someone else caught that lol
Good thing, was parked (wrong word) in my country Puerto Rico, to the south of the island. Was magestic and magnificent that beast of ship.
"next time around use alrernate dock priemer" ©
👋 Hello ted good day oh my God this is wonderful the largest Cruise Ship 😲 Icon of the Seas stay safe and God bless❤
Great now the ports are going to be even more packed. Hopefully it doesn’t affect the excursions for all the other cruise lines and ships with that many people. How will there be room or time on the islands
Depending on how big the cruise ships and capacity are, I would imagine that the bigger the ships, the less ships there are at the port, and I think it all has to do with scheduling, which I can only think of
Saw it in Miami port and it looks amazing!!
Be there in June baby! And having been on one of their other large ones, I will say, it doesn't feel like there are 6-7k people. With all the difference spaces, people are spread out.
Titanic was NOT a "cruise" ship. It was an Ocean Liner.
Titanic was NOT a cruise ship.
Cery good , we booked our cruise to explore Costa Blanca in sommer
LOVE BOAT COMES TO LIFE 💜
Damn it's booked until 2026? 😬
The rich, the have some time other ships for much cheaper
My family will let the early excitement burn off and then book in a year or two. LOL
Oh well. Sure you can do other things
Oh well. Sure you can do other things
“It pales in comparison to the Titianic cruise ship…” So this new ship is inferior to the Titanic?
Thank God It wasn’t just me
I will wait until they all settled down. We just cruised with Odyssey of the Sea last year in the Mediterranean.
You got that Titanic reference backwards
0:09 "it [the Icon of the Seas] pails in comparison to the iconic Titanic cruise ship".
If the Icon of the Seas measures close to 1200 ft long, and the Titanic 883 ft, as the reporter says, isn't it the Titanic that "pails in comparison" to the Icon of the Seas, and not the other way around as the reporter said?
Pales*, and yes, they must have been the other way around.
Quero muito ❤
If there is a hell, it must be something like this: being trapped in this immense shitness of floating Las Vegas and theme park, filled with thousands of children screaming in your ear.
Is the city in the background Miami?
Maybe referencing the Titanic before the maiden voyage of Icon of the Seas is not such a great thing?
Made in Finland
It has a flo rider ride.
No thanks, Covid is still hot and heavy. I could not image being sick my whole vacation or right after.
I will go on this year
Great job news reader. “It pales in comparison to the iconic Titanic cruise ship”
No, Titanic pales in comparison to Icon also Titanic was not a cruise ship, it was an Ocean Liner. 🤦🏻♂️
I'm booked for Oct
Some friend of mine said, "I would rather slide into my coffin, saying, "THAT WAS FUN!" You can't take it with you.
They called titanic a cruise ship… what the heck how did she mess up that. Can’t stand it
She also said it "pales in comparison to the Titanic". That would mean that the Titanic is much better. I think she meant it the other way around. Someone needs to proof-read their scripts.
@@joshuabray37 I’m a nerd with titanic and every right about ocean liners… so it does hurt me a bit but just hurts me more that they let it out on television. Makes my views on America not change at all haha
Titanic was a steam liner, not a cruise ship.
I wonder if the Maldives is flooded with all that displacement 😂😐
Why?
I personally wish they would, I know there were plans, build a Titanic II except keep it mostly original side from modern lifeboats, rutter, and engine; people role play like the Edwardian times for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class. I would enjoy that more.
Sounds like an awesome place for families with kids.
Ummm who wrote that intro copy. “It pales in comparison to titanic cruise ship?” Could that sentence be any more incorrect
I will make sure I get in there as the “”In between the two ends; the newly weds is beyond me and am not nearly dead!!! “God forbid. So Now is the time to make memories with my fam.
I know bro didn’t say “what about Covid” FOUR years later
Scares me to death.
I will cruise with this ship once my lottery win !!!
$100k for a room 😂
Wow! Its very amazing
My neighbor just came back from a cruise and she has been in the hospital for 25 days after her return
The media drives me nuts; Why compare this ship to the ill-fated Titanic? They have ZERO in common! Also, since when did Royal Caribbean become more like Carnival - ugh those colours!
Why the comparison to the Titanic?
I wish water slide is directly to the ocean.
NO!
"Its not about size" the chief say. Oh ok.
Made in Finland. Like most of them.
I dont have icon money. I got that carnival money
I have the regular Royal Caribbean ship money
Mark this post. You will see lots of complaints about debarkation at ports. Build as big as you want, ports and islands will have issues accommodating the sheer volume of just this cruise ship not to mention all the other ships same day.
"I'm sooo jelly."
No she's not.
She does want a drink though.
Better double check the route for ice bergs
i need to save up god dang it
Would look good parked next to Titanic , probably next weeks news.
I bet the slots, buffets, entertainment, the help that always has their hand out or are trying to get into your pocket, all suck.
At 100k for the townhouse they better not!!
Very soon it will become the “Bankruptcy of the Sea” who’s gonna pay that much for a cruise?
They ain’t gotta worry bout it!! No THANK YOU SIR!!!
I don't think she knows when to use the phrase "pales in comparison" correctly...lol.
The grandest and most exorbitantly priced nautical incarceration vacation on the planet.
Cbs employees drinking on the job? Makes sense with the logic they come up with 😂
It was ice tea, and not the Long Island kind.
As long as they don’t do any “greetings” of small and rocky islands.
0:10 No, the Titanic pales in comparison to this ship, not the other way around
We're Gonna Need a,,, ahhh, ahhhh,, Nevermind!!! 😜🤣
Only if you'll know what they put ship workers through... that place is worst than hell.
My turn to be on icon of the sea
With 10,000 people. Anyone bother to count the number of lifeboats and capacity?
Iam not ready to be titanikd
