Throwback to when I was cruising the Danube on Avalon Waterways! I'm thinking about Christmas Markets on the Rhine for next year...
Wishing you a beautiful Easter, wherever you are. He is risen!
This is always my favorite walk to take - the gangway when boarding a cruise ship! And the anticipation of boarding the Icon of the Seas was off the charts! #cruise #Iconoftheseas
Check out the shower in a **regular stateroom** on the #Iconoftheseas! This is not a junior suite or anything fancy. Just the typical shower!! Well done, Royal Caribbean! This is just one of many cutting edge things that has blown me away on this ship. #utcicon
Just one of many things that have impressed me on this ship!! #Iconoftheseas #utcicon #royalcaribbean
Many cruisers enjoy the "Broadway style shows" that you find on most ships.
Well, Royal Caribbean has redefined entertainment at sea. They have raised the bar so high on these shows with their newest addition- "The Wizard of Oz" on the Icon of the Seas- that I would take a gander that no one will ever catch them.
I exercised the greatest restraint last night when I saw the show, because they asked us not to take pictures or videos. But today, at a special event for travel agents on board, we were treated to one of the numbers in the show where we were able to take video and pictures.
A live orchestra plays the music, and it is the largest orchestra at sea. The quality of the performers- the singing, dancing, and acting was as good as any I have actually seen on Broadway. Maybe better. The stage is actually larger than any stage on Broadway, which gives them more room to work with.
If Entertainment is something that you enjoy on cruises, then don't miss this. I would be happy to help you book your cruise on the Icon so you can see the Wizard of Oz, too!
Beautiful fireworks show following the naming ceremony for the Icon of the Seas!!
I took this from the balcony at our hotel in Paris in 2019.
I have clients on their honeymoon in Europe right now, and I was so glad to see the bride post her own video of the twinkling lights on the Eiffel Tower. It makes for a magical moment, for sure, and one I hoped they would not miss while in Paris!
The next day, I had lunch with a friend who I had sent on a Christmas river cruise last year (and extended tour afterward). She mentioned that one of her favorite moments was looking up and seeing the lights on the tower twinkling! Don't miss this opportunity when you're in Paris for an evening.
