Icon of the Seas Complete 7-Night Cruise Review | Food, Shows, Cabin & Tips We sailed on Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas — the largest cruise ship in the world — for a full 7-night Caribbean cruise and this is EVERYTHING you need to know before booking. From the moment we stepped onto the massive Royal Promenade and saw The Pearl, we knew this ship was different. In this full cruise vlog we show you embarkation day, our balcony cabin, sailaway, Windjammer lobster lunch, Surfside food, suite areas, entertainment, theme nights, midnight balloon drop and more.
