 I took a cruise with my brother and sister-in-law on the Icon of the Seas and found it overwhelming. We were told 6,800 passengers were on the ship with us, plus all the crew, and I felt like I was at Disney during a peak day. I also couldn't believe that we had to pay for water, soda, beer, wine, she goes on with the list, and restaurants like Chop's Grill, Giovanni's, Izumi Sushi, and Hooked all required us to pay as well, which made us eating at the free dining room a pain since it was always busy and rushed.
