Icon of the Seas docked at port
My eight favorite amenities on the new world's largest cruise ship are, for the most part, ones I've yet to see on other ships.
  • Royal Caribbean invited me to spend three complimentary nights on its new Icon of the Seas in January.
  • My eight favorite amenities included the waterpark and jazz bar.
  • I've yet to see most of the amenities on my list on other cruise ships.

There's a reason Royal Caribbean's new mega-cruise ship is only operating seven-night sailings.
