"Icon of the Seas: The World's Largest Cruise Ship Sets Sail"

Royal Caribbean International is set to debut the world's largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, in January 2024. The ship measures 1,198 feet long with 250,800 gross tonnage and can accommodate 7,600 guests and 2,350 crew members. It features 20 decks, seven pools, and six record-breaking waterslides. The ship is divided into eight primary areas, including an AquaDome, Suite Neighborhood, Central Park, and a waterpark called "Category 6." Prices for tickets start at $1,851 for an interior room on a seven-night cruise. While some are excited about the ship, others express concerns about past COVID outbreaks on cruise ships.
