    A follow-up cruise on IOTS in a year or two would be interesting to see how standards are maintained.
  • @LONESTARINDIE
    This world is tough to live in sometimes, thank you for taking my mind off it for a little while, & making me 😊

    "I NEED A LIE-DOWN AND A GIN" should be on a tee shirt

    Just wanted to chime in and say thank you for producing such a joyful, positive and FUN channel!! The Icon seems to be a bit more people-y than I prefer (I used to love the old RC ships like Majesty of the Seas) but I love seeing the two of you experience the ship and all it has to offer. Thanks again for all you do!

    Ben and David,I don’t cruise but I never miss an episode because you guys are so great.Love the honesty.🇨
  • @Kaz.Williams
    Your joy and excitement is palpable. I'm only halfway through and I've got inexplicable tears in my eyes. This is a beautiful video and as someone who unfortunately won't ever cruise again but is utterly in love with this ship, I'm so grateful to you for bringing it to me in this way. Thank you for sharing your happiness ♥️
  • Can I just say, I love your video's your photography is spot on, SPOT ON. And thank you for always reminding everyone you are are NOT PAID to go on these cruises, this is all you, all both of you, and your own opinions, makes the honestly so refreshing. thank you.
  • @dustysmith2882
    You two are so stinking cute! I’m thrilled to see your excitement 🎉
  • @WaterWorld1
    Ben & David's enthusiasm is infectious. I felt like this when I did a cruise onboard Oasis, the world's biggest ship, at the time. (Glad that the show had a REAL orchestra).
  • I was looking forward to your reviews since you are fair but also honest
  • @jenluv
    I'm super irritated right now. I was dead set on NEVER going on Icon because it looked like a floating shopping mall with slides and now I'm pretty sure I'm taking my family on it at some point in 2025. I'm totally sold! Fabulous job, as always!
  • Great job on this guys! Loved seeing Bkka and Rover in here! Thank you so much for signing my photo frame! Was great bumping into you guys so often on the ship and at the Celebration table! You guys have easily put out the best content on Icon by far! THANK YOU! Wendy
  • @Emmagracee.
    Joining a FB cruise group is excellent advice!!! I joined one before a recent cruise & it was a fun group. There were so many helpful tips given & plenty of folks were eager to help answer questions. From where to stay in Miami, best places to eat in Miami, what to do when arriving at the port! It sounds crazy but I felt like I was cruising with friends even though I didn't know anyone personally 😂😂😂😂. I even made plans to meet up with some cruisers for our kids to meet & hangout.

    Awwwww! Love seeing Dee and Jay! They were my first ever travel vloggers I started watching years ago!
  • @brianb2837
    Hey Ben and David. Been watching your reviews of this new ship and now another great video of this amazing new ship! Thanks so much for this! Your excitement as you get ready to board the ship is so fun to see….Happy cruising!
  • @richscary
    2 Billion Dollar ship full of everything and anything you could want on a cruise... and the biggest attraction was Rover. Great tour! Thank you both for doing such a great job!
  • @jazzhead394
    I’ll never make it on this ship, but I feel like I have been there from watching your videos! Great job!
