What is inside the Icon of the Seas cruise ship? — featuring 200Journeys (Royal Caribbean)

0:01 This is a whole different world. And I wanted to see this world. The world's biggest cruise, you can say. This is Icon of the Seas. How much money did you pay? Let me tell you, I have paid for the interior, around..

0:26 I witnessed a man losing 20 thousand dollars. It took about 3-4 days to set up this Aqua Dome completely. It took about 3-4 days.. How is everyone? Today's date of journey, 27th July, it is around 12:30 pm.

0:51 And let me tell you the location, this is Miami, Cruise Terminal A. Miami, which is called the Cruise Capital of the World. After the inaugural journey of Utopia, today I have brought to you the world's biggest cruise. This is Icon of the Seas. Total decks are 20, passenger capacity is more than 7 thousand.

1:15 Crew capacity is around 2500. If you see the length, it is around 1200 feet. 5 Times the size of Titanic. And it is 3 times bigger than the size of a football ground. If you stand this cruise vertically.. If you make this cruise stand then it is bigger than the Eiffel Tower. You will get the complete detailed vlog

1:41 I'm going on a seven-nights, eight-days trip. And I guess, the first Indian vlogger to board the Icon of the Seas. Let's start. No friends not like this, with style, come on.. Put on headphones, turn the device to full screen and forget everything for the next while. I am with you, you are with me and we both are on the world's biggest cruise.

2:05 This is the Icon of the Seas. My name is Dolesh and you are watching 200 Journeys. Almost Everyday's Vlogs. So I will bring about six to seven vlogs for you. My heart is filled with joy. I don't want to be emotional, but my dream is a reality in front of me today. So let's go inside now and show you everything.

2:27 Will show you everything. And think about it, the cruise companies have their own private terminals here. What can I say now? Only you know your greatness, to me everything seems amazing. Icon of the Seas was built in France. So we have entered here, This is Terminal A. And you see, this is their cruise terminal.

2:54 Here you will see the complete check-in system. And remember, the most important thing is that you must do the online web check-in. I have already done that so there is no tension here. Because you will have to upload credit card information, all your photographs etc., keep that in mind.

3:09 Because if you don't do that, it will become a lot of hassle. Do that, within 5 minutes you will be checked in here. Look, they have a system. They will just enter your reservation number and everything will be done. Just think how big a responsibility it is to check in more than 5500 passengers?

3:28 See this completely. I want to show you the interior. This is the cruise terminal. I was checked-in at Utopia in hardly 2 minutes. Here also I guess it will hardly take 2 minutes, because I have already done web check in. But look at the infrastructure. I mean, however much I praise it, it is less.

3:47 I guess they have made different points. One on this side, this is probably a group. There will be security check etc. here. Let me do this first, then I'll see you later. Look, can you see the line anywhere? Look, there are so many people, thousands in number, yet the work here is being carried out with so much love.

4:06 First of all let me tell you that for travel bookings I use Wego App Where you can book worldwide flights, hotels and tickets. This is the best travel app. Because Wego compares hundreds of websites and brings you the cheapest rates. Whether it is hotels or flights. And if you book tickets at the last minute like me,

4:26 then Wego provides you with World's fastest travel loading app. So what are you waiting for? The link is given in the description, download the Wego app immediately. And yes, if you already have the app, then definitely update it. You will get exciting features plus IRCTC's train ticket booking option.

4:42 And now Wego has also brought visa services for you. Which makes your visa process absolutely easy and smooth. So travel and explore with Wego. And look at the vibe here. I mean it really feels like you are boarding a cruise here. Look at the atmosphere here. You can see the seating arrangement,

5:02 in case a large number of tourists are coming. Now people will reach the cruise and begin their fun.. After all, this is a vacation. Luggage, check-in everything has been done, security is also done. Here we are ready to board. The surprise is that they had given the slot of 4:00 pm online.

5:24 But they have also allowed boarding at 12:30 -1:00. See, you can take a photograph here. From this side you can see, Icon Of The Seas. See the first impression from here. But the most surprising thing is that as a content creator I have a Spike Guard Extension with me, It was allowed on Utopia..

5:44 But here they have taken that extension on security. And see this receipt has been given. They say that because of the electrical system of this cruise, spike guard is not allowed. Now you go to the cruise, in the guest service at the reception, try there if they will allow it or not.

6:01 This is too much, spike guard is not allowed.. It means such a big cruise was built but the electrical system is not like that. I couldn't understand this thing. You can check everything here like security, luggage etc. The work of luggage etc. is done in 5 minutes hardly. We have arrived at Icon of the Seas.

6:18 World's biggest cruise.. Can you see the happiness on my face? What is there to eat and drink? I will try to bring you a tour of the suite. Look at this, the whole family, everyone is travelling here in a group. Let's go inside, now I will show you the whole interior, room etc. And the moment is here.

6:41 As far as I can guess, my room is at the front side, so I am boarding from the very front. Yes, here we go for the next seven nights and eight days. Are people deboarding here also? You can see the vibe here is different. And this is the Icon of the Seas. If you remember the starting..

7:01 I guess its inaugural journey was on 27th January, which means this year. Think about it, Royal Caribbean has launched two new cruises. In January you got Icon of the Seas and in July you can say.. This is Utopia. Bro only Royal Caribbean can do this. If you remember, the next cruise will be Star of the Seas.

7:23 Star of the Seas will arrive in August 2025. Look at this view. Let it start, when it will sail from the front, I will show you the whole view. Look, my room should be somewhere around here, so I'm going from the front. See the entire cargo etc. being loaded, food and drink. Carrying food and drinks for 5000 to 7000 people, is really a different kind of fun.

7:50 This cruise cannot be captured in one frame. Now let's go ahead and board. Yes, here we go.. It's fun. The system that has been made.. The technical thing they have made is amazing. They have announced that the rooms are ready. Right now I am on deck 10, first of all let me show you the view from here.

8:16 You can see the entire Central Park here. And the interior.. First let me show you this system, look look at the lift. Total 10 lifts. I am on the front side and you will get 10 lifts on that side. It means there are at least 20 lifts. Let me show you how lifts work. For example, I have to go to deck number 18.

8:41 So it will tell you, go to elevator number A. See the light is on. So this is for time saving. So whichever deck you have to go to, it will tell you.. See, this is the interior. Brother it's tremendous, what can I say! The room which has been given to me is 444. Wait a bit, I will show you everything series wise.

9:08 See, I have taken the interior of the Stateroom, 430 - 454. Mine is 444. So you will find my room here on this side. See, this is the entire gallery. I guess whatever you are seeing, all of these are interior rooms. Think, this is just a part. Bro, this is the World's biggest cruise.

9:35 It took two to two and a half year to build it. Let me show you the entire layout. This is the cruise, this is the front part. Currently we are here. You can pause here and see what is where. The amazing thing is that we found Indians. Not just one or two Indians, I have already seen 20-25 Indians.

10:02 This stuff is very good. What a design ! I will show you the pool etc. in full detail, but first I have to show you the room. Look at the lift, look at the texture. Awesome, this is the entire area of ​​the gallery. Utopia is nothing compared to this. Have a look at this gallery,

10:24 now the most important thing is that I have to show you the room tour. Deck 10, Room No 444. Keep in mind that whenever you board Royal Caribbean.. You do not get the key downstairs at the guest service or at the desk but you get the key in your room like this. So I have already took out my key from here.

10:42 Let me show you, this is 444, Icon of the Seas. Awesome, means my chest has swelled with pride. Come on.. This is the interior room I have taken. Let me tell you, the interior room is so expensive. Brother don't ask, it cost so much money to board the cruise, don't even ask. I said brother I will do it.

11:06 If you went to US and didn't board on Icon, then why come to the US? Look at the sofa system, first class. You can see a double bed. The meaning of this is that you will not get any window here. There are rooms of different categories here. Let me tell you, I had booked, interior.

11:23 As far as I can guess, they have probably upgraded me. That is also totally free of cost. This is Interior Plus, as far as I can guess. First of all you get a first class attached washroom here. Take a look at the washroom. This is your room, check all the towels etc. Don't even ask about the quality.

11:45 Look at TV. The TV is so big that you can watch 2 YouTube videos at the same time. Let me show you here, in a wide angle. When I entered, I thought it was such a small room. I thought, "Where will I keep the luggage?" I thought the room in Utopia was big. But let me show you a surprise.. surprise

12:05 This room is not just that, look at this. Glad to see this thing here. You can say makeup, table, dressing table sofa etc. Bro, words will fall short. Look, I can keep my luggage in the first class, there is a locker here. You can see all the things here.

12:31 And here also.. And the best thing is this. This compass of the cruise, which show is where today? Which show is on 27th July and where? This was not given in Utopia. You can see all this, whatever you want. This.. But bro, this is definitely my room for the next seven nights,

13:01 you can call it my hotel on water. Means.. How did you like it? Let me know by commenting. I am sure you must be waiting for this, how much do I have to pay for this? Don't ask about the price bro? I will tell you about the money later, don't worry. But how did you like the room, it's so cool.

13:26 In my opinion, complete first class. And the best thing here is also this, look there is a button here, you have to press this button, If you press this button, the lights almost the entire room turned off. So this thing is very good here. Means, if you press one button, everything will be off,

13:41 if you press the button again, everything will be on. You can see the paintings and all. According to me, if you want to travel within a reasonable budget.. For us, this is not a reasonable budget at all. But this room.. This dustbin has also been given on this side. For sitting, look at the quality of the sofa.

14:04 Every single thing has been done wholeheartedly. I showed you the washroom and all the things completely. See if there is anything left. I will give you a completely wonderful tour. Amazing.. Will spend the next seven nights here comfortably. Let me tell you one thing first, category of room is not a priority.

14:24 Let me tell you seriously, in Icon you will spend the whole day on the cruise, the room is for nights majorly. Now I am on deck 14. Here let me show you the spa. I will show you this in full detail later. And the most important cruise compass, definitely keep it in your hand. You can get it from the guest service there.

14:43 It has everything, which event is going to happen where? Does it look like this is a cruise? I said, let me take you on a walk. Because I'm on the front. Yes, this is AQUADOME MARKET. So now we're at the Windjammer. Look at everything here. Yes, this is Windjammer, right?

15:09 This is another cafe.. And where is the Windjammer? Windjammer is behind. From this side? Brother, this is such a big cruise, such a long cruise that you will get tired while walking? I will have to go to the back for the Windjammer. This is separate, I guess this is a paid one. Let me show you the open view.

15:31 You can see these views from here. How did you like it, isn't it an amazing look. Have patience, everything will be shown to you. How many pools are there in total? I guess you will find 7 pools here. Let me show you more views from the top. Wow, I mean, no amount of praise is enough.

15:49 Let it sail for now, when it sails then we will show you the views from ahead. My first cruise from Miami, and that is also an icon. Sometime, see the coincidence. Let me show you this terminal, you can see it completely. Right now the boarding is going on here. The departure time has been told to be around 5 O' clock.

16:12 I am looking at the compass, which event is where? You have to take it day wise. People have already come here. Someone is having a drink, someone is having something else. Seriously, if you have the budget and the money, then come. Welcome to the Icon of the seas. So now this is Deck 15 and the place is Windjammer.

16:36 Where lunch has already been started for the public. If you remember, I showed you the same thing there in Utopia. Now let me first show you what is being served here for lunch. You look at this completely.. What's here? This is a complete salad option. Brother, the smell here is entirely non-veg.

16:59 You can see what are the options.. Bro, literally ever since I entered here, there is only the smell of non-veg all around. Look at the different options here. This is mashed potato. You will get all the options separately. It's good, they have already opened lunch for the people.

17:20 Please keep in mind the timing of lunch. This is again non veg. Is there anything in veg here? It's all about salad again. Windjammer is my favourite place on the cruise. It was the same in Utopia also. Here it is completely non-veg, is there any veg here or not? Will have to see something.

17:40 Indian Option.. Do we have Indian? Indian is that side.. Thank You :) At least we get something Indian. Yes we will have some fun here. This is also non veg here, this is dal, this is paneer butter masala for you. This is chicken garlic rice. Here it may be normal rice, plus raita and all.

18:01 There are more non-veg options here. So you can see this entire seating area. I had told you that I will make a detailed vlog of Icon of the Seas at my leisure. So you can see this entire seating area here. This is gluten free, this is pasta. Windjammer is my favourite place. Brother if you want to eat then come here.

18:22 Can't even understand the option. This is pasta Yes sir, how's the food? Excellent, where are you from? India, Are you liking the cruise? You will see the entire sitting area. Here you can have water, coffee, apple juice, whatever you want, see it in detail. According to me the seating capacity at a time is 1000 to 2000.

18:52 This bar here, but remember this is paid. Make sure that the package you have bought contains your beverage package. All these water machines. I don't know how much time is left for departure, people have already started eating here. There is already a line here. Fries, Onion and much more.

19:17 There are various options here. Brother, you will get tired seeing this. How much should I roam, what else is there on this side? All these are different options. Those who understand whatever, tell it by commenting. Man, it seems too public here. It is like this here, the more you eat the less it is.

19:38 You have to walk so much. I guess I'm on deck five or six right now. Look, the whole kids area has been made here. The surfing option is probably here. Look at the entire sitting area. So you will get another pool on this side. This one is much better. Right at the back because when the cruise moves..

19:58 Wait for a minute, yes sir. Friend, just look at these sights. This is a good section, they have kept it open. When this cruise will move, you will get amazing views at the back. Let me show you Miami from here. I think Celebrity Cruises is probably parked there. It doesn't look like anything special but see these views of Miami from here.

20:28 It is good that they have kept the back section open. See, there is a complete children's area here. This is Central Park, if you look at that side. Man it's good it wasn't in Utopia, this thing is really good. And at least the back side is open. Let me show you some more sights of Miami.

20:56 Man, what a view from here. You should see the whole view. Awesome !! Here you can watch the Royal Premiere, I will show you this later. Look, this is the main attraction, this too will be shown to you. Now you must be thinking what is this line for? So let me tell you that this is for Wi-Fi.

21:18 Just imagine, a cruise dock at the port, yet Wi-Fi is not working here. I feel like these people have installed jammers here. You see this is the main business. You can see the charges for one device, it is $223.93. If you convert it, let's say it is around 20 thousand rupees for 7 days.

21:37 And if you see the cost of 1 day, it is 34$. Plus they will levy a tax of 2 or 3 dollars. You can check the charges here, but yes the network runs very well. In Utopia, I uploaded a video of about 5 GB in 15 minutes. Because this is powered by Starlink. Rest see the costing is in front of you.

21:56 If you want to buy per day or for 7 days, the choice is yours. See, all these people taking their internet. But man, I don't understand when the cruise is dock then the internet should work, even at the port there is no internet. Right now, I am not taking it, for now I will see which pack I will take.

22:14 Think people are charging ₹20,000 for Wi-Fi. So this is 5:30 and you see our final departure from Miami's Cruise Terminal A here. Lots of entertainment for you. Lots of infotainment for you. Water slide is open, and the music is so loud. Sunset DJ party going on. Hardcore drinks going on.

22:40 And further ahead you will find suites. I am trying if I can show you the tour of the suite. But you see the class of audience. I mean the standard of living you are understanding, right, you will find the cream crowd right here. It is the power of USD. I thought I should show you the departure once more.

23:00 Our departure from here is exactly on time. This is the front side and this is the back side. Look, this is a water slide and all. I will try to show you everything. Can you hear the music? Brother, this is really a whole different world.. And I wanted to see this world. And I will try to show you this world virtually as much as I can.

23:28 There is no bigger cruise than this in the world right now. And it looks like a very over crowded cruise. I mean, let me show you, look, there are a lot of people here. You go to any corner of the cruise, there is public everywhere. There was not so much public on Utopia. Man, this is the biggest cruise, there is a lot of public here, see.

23:52 Right now from here, if I can show you a little carefully... Look ahead and see our departure from Miami. First time from Miami, it's going to be fun..

24:20 Totally exclusive for you this is deck 4. And once this casino starts, then I will not be able to show it to you. Now let me show you how is the casino of the world's biggest cruise? Here you will see this entire section. Let me show you this way, this is roulette. The minimum bet is 20 dollars, maximum 100 dollars.

24:44 I guess when the cruise departs from here, they will start it. This is business. This is the real enjoyment here. Here the minimum bet is 50 dollars, maximum 200 USD. If you convert 50 dollars then consider the total amount to be Rs 4500-5000.

25:09 I am showing you the complete tour of the casino. On Water.. This is seven days. Imagine yourself how much gambling there will be here.. Look behind there is a cashier counter. Can't show much because of limitations. Right now it is closed, so it looks like this. Let it start once and then see here..

25:37 Here the minimum bet is $15, maximum is $500. Dude, who has a hobby, who has money, especially dollars.. And remember, the most important thing here is your Sea pass card. When you check in on the web, they will take your credit card details, through which you can directly buy here.

25:59 Buy and play as per your budget. This is about ticketing. ATM is also provided to you here, I will see more.. I had seen in Utopia, a man in front of me had lost $20 thousand.. About 18-20 lakh rupees.

26:24 And just think, people will come to Icon with money. You can see the entire bar here. I am showing you in details. If I didn't show you this casino, then what did I show you? See completely, showing you in details. One who knows can understand here. Let it start once, then you will see

26:52 the environment here will be completely different. Then they will not even allow the camera. Let me show you the operation, We will leave Miami at 6:00. You can see the complete timing of Day 2 here. Once it is started then.. And the game here is in USD. One is greater than one, one is greater than one.

27:17 Look, there's more on this side. Look, it's on an even bigger scale on this side. This is something more interesting.. See, you will keep roaming around. You won't be able to find out where the entry is and where the exit is. Got the exit. Here is a different inebriation.

27:44 Come to Deck 4 and if you want to try your luck then try it. See, this is the entry of the casino. That is why it is called the Icon of the seas. Next location, this is a dack 15. Now I have come to show you another wonder of this Icon of the seas.

28:09 This is Aqua Dome. The biggest thing about it is that whatever glass you are seeing, it is completely made from one glass. And when I read about the Icon online, I got to know that.. It took about three to four days to completely set up this Aqua Dome.

28:35 First of all, let me show you here, this is the entire Aqua dome, and this is the Aqua theatre over here. Here I guess there will be a show in the evening. There is a show here probably at 7:00 or 7:30. See, it is completely connected. If you are coming here, then do not miss this experience at all.

28:55 Because Aqua Dome is right at the front, So, let me show you what you will see.. Man, Top Luxury. I mean I feel there is nothing bigger than this at the moment, even in the USA. The liquor is unlimited, but remember it is paid. You will get a front view like this.

29:26 This is the speciality of Aqua Dome. Wow what a view! Ahead you can see a cruise. Now let me show you everything. Wow ! Think about it, this is a single piece of glass, whatever you are seeing. So come and explore Aqua Dome here.

29:51 But the views here, ask from the cruise lovers.. Your heart will be happy when you see these views here. 10 thousand steps have already been completed. I thought let's go back to the room and charge the mobile and other things. Most important for you, I want to show you this. In case if you are not going out and you are in your room,

30:14 then you can see everything on the screen. You can see the current position and our speed is 20.7 knots. You will see the complete course. Here we just left Miami. The most important thing in the next two days is our continuous sailing. It means we don't have any stop on 28th and 29th, see..

30:38 We have just left Miami and look at this. As the cruise is progressing, you can see it from the live camera here. You can think that they have this technology. It will show you everything - position, speed. You can see on the screen that our next stop is this. Our first stop will be this one.

31:00 So you see, in the next two days we are going to cruise around the Atlantic Ocean, as per the map. And the most important thing is that here it is not mandatory for you to pay gratuity The gratuity I paid at Utopia was $18 per person. So it is the same here in the icon also. If you do 18x7 per person, convert it to INR then almost ₹10000.

31:26 So whenever you board, tell in advance at the reception that I will not pay gratuity. I have already told them, they had charged me in Utopia, which had no purpose. You can see the entire view while sitting here. Let me charge my mobile etc. Give a little break to your mind and the whole show is in front of you.

31:49 You can see the complete list of what is going to happen where on 27th July. It is simple, keep reading everything. Everything is on Royal Caribbean's app. In case if you don't want to follow newspaper, TV or anything then take the app everything will be available on the app. But coming here in the room, it really feels so good, it gives so much peace.

32:12 I will also show you the electrical system which is there. The technology has been developed in such a way, I will show it to you in the next vlog. That's amazing, man!

32:37 Shows have started at different places, but because of copyright we will not be able to show you much. It is 8 o'clock and now we have come to deck 3. In the dining hall if I show you. Sunil Bhai is with us, Indian staff. There is a lot of Indian staff here, thank you Sunil Bhai.

32:55 This means that I have to talk to the staff in Hindi only, not in English. First of all, let me tell you, the seating capacity of the dining hall is more than a thousand. This is deck 3, deck 4 and deck 5. There is this kind of infra, the total staff here is more than 3 hundred. You can see this menu, There are not many options for veg.

33:21 There are desserts and all other things. I have requested brother Sunil, let's see what he brings in veg now? But I am not able to understand one thing.. There is so much smell of non veg in the wind jammer on deck 15. Now see, I am sitting here, even here the smell is more. Now the reason for this is too much consumption,

33:44 but I feel that the exhaust is not very strong. Because this smell was not there in Utopia. Literally, I am sitting here, feeling like a fish market. Which means the smell is so strong. And if you are vegetarian then brother there will be riots here. Means there are so limited options.

34:08 Now see what will come, will show you. You can see the entire dining hall. Whatever food you see here, everything is included in the package. At present these breads have been given here. Brother, explain to me about the food. Something different is happening here. So the food is here..

34:28 So here this is daal, this is rice. Plus I have taken this mixed veg sabzi. This raita is given here, and this papad is with it. There are limited options in veg here. And that's why if you've seen my Utopia vlog, I don't come here for dining. I mean I am telling the truth, in Windjammer there

34:49 are more options as compared to the dining hall. Well, every cruise, every place has its own taste. But the best thing is that daal and other things are tasty. Let me show you everything. So if you are a vegetarian and you are going to board the Royal Caribbean, then you must keep this in mind.

35:13 Sit here and eat.. Feels like I have achieved something in life. I wish my father had been here with me. I definitely have to show him this environment. I mean literally it has such a vibe that you are eating food sitting on the Titanic.

35:39 Enjoyed it ! Today I have seen a completely different world. Just came back from watching the show at Aqua Theatre, it was amazing. Enjoyed watching the one hour show.

36:04 It's 10:15, I have come to Deck 6. If I show you the view from here, right at the back. Look behind, what an amazing look the waves are giving. I am sure the biggest question in your mind now would be how much did you pay Bro? Let me tell you about the interior, I paid around 50 thousand rupees per night.

36:28 It is a trip of seven nights and eight days, so how much did I pay for seven nights? If you calculate then it is 3.5 lakhs. Yes, this is for the interior. And this is after I tracked the prices for about 1 month. The prices are so dynamic. That means, for two people, the interior will cost you at least Rs 4.5 lakh.

36:53 This is one of the most expensive cruise. You can see two more cruises on that side. See, it is completely dark here, what sights should I show you at night. But you see the vibe here. I have told you about the costing of the interior. Then if you take balcony, ocean view and suite

37:17 then bro the price is more dynamic than the limit. Let me show you another view here. Must come here, right at the back, on deck 6, what a wonderful view. Also see the night and day views. Around 7400 passengers on board. I think 4000 of them are kids.

37:45 See these views from here. The entire Central Park is on this side. Brother it is fun. That's all here, keep moving from deck to deck. And now I have reached on deck 17 and you can see these views here. You can see the water slide there. And look at the waves from above. What a wonderful look.

38:12 Okay, so our Day 1 ends here. I am ending Vlog 1 here. See, there is a lot to show on this cruise, so now you have to watch vlog 2. As I told you, we have sailing tomorrow as well as the day after tomorrow, all day. So whatever is left, because there is a fitness centre, spa on the cruise,
