The LARGEST Cruise Ship in The World Has A GIANT Problem: the Icon of the Seas. In order to understand how we got to this level of cruise ship, we will first do a quick dive into how cruise ships came about before switching gears and looking at how a ship like Icon of the Seas came about. Lastly, we will see what life is like on board such a giant ship and if all of this is really smoke and mirrors or a step in the right direction for the world.

    You show the ship on fire............that's just dishonest. !!
  • What is up in using the fake fire on the bow of the ship in your thumbnail? Thumbs down for your BS. Shalom

    I was on the Icon of the Sea in May when the ship lost power. We lost power while my family and I were at the art auction. No big deal, we just continued to drink free champagne and talked and made jokes until the power came back on.
  • A beatup, fuelled by a lot of conjecture and hype. No fire on the bow ever existed. Selectively picking a few negative reviews doesn't accurately reflect overcrowding of facilities by guests on board.
  • I have been on the Icon of the seas during spring break 2024 and the ship is awesome and even at full capacity it never felt crowded. The video is extremely misleading!

    May 20, 2024 fell on a Monday. Not Sunday.
  • @kmarshie
    Not sure who these people are saying these things about the onboard experience. I sailed this ship in May 2024 and the ship had 6900 guests on board. We didn't experience any of the crowding or long waits described in this video.
  • @brunkerj
    Such dramatic narration. It seemed 75% of the photos were of other ships. The bridge is state-of-the-art, yet the one shown looked 25 years old. I believe there was an incident. I further believe that 'Beyond Facts' dramatized it beyond belief.

    Neighborhood...or Neighborwood? The pool is 150 litres? That is a bathtub.
  • My wife and I were on board during power loss lasted. I don’t know 10 minutes The ship did not slow down. It was really no big deal as far as lines go my wife and I did not experience this either. I kind of see this is to the best ship we have been on!
  • Won’t subscribe due to the click bate of showing the ship on fire. As a Platinum member on Royal Caribbean, the video was very interesting and informative and didn’t need click bate to get me to subscribe. See ya

    The whole problem with this ship is that it was built during the pandemic! That is what's wrong with it. Anything built, cars, trucks, houses, housewares, air conditioners/heaters, cruise ships ect ect is going to breakdown or quit not matter what. You can have the factory replace this and that in it but it will still not work right, not matter what it is.

    10:15 I was on the largest sailing to date last week and most of this about the wait time is not true. We had no problem swimming up to the bar, virtually no line at starbucks, and it was a breeze getting on and off. The waterslides were about a half an hour wait though, not hours as stated in this video.
  • @T.Media1199
    "Incredible video! The way you detailed the journey from early cruise ships to the Icon of the Seas is captivating. Loved the insights into life on board such a massive ship! 👏🎥"
  • I've long ago determined that there is no advantage to me as a passenger to have 4 or 5 thousand other people on board for all the reasons shown in this video. I much prefer smaller ships with a lower energy vibe. Much more relaxing and enjoyable. I wouldn't think of booking on this monstrosity.
  • @davef.2329
    And none of the current crop of million-dollar, college-degreed geniuses figured all this out until now? We're doomed.
