Popular Post Razors Edge ★ Posted January 23 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 23 ...takes on new meaning when where you work is the largest cruise ship in the world: ...and when your pup outranks you as the CDO (Chief Dog Officer): ...but he is a "water" dog! The new Icon of the Seas will feature a Chief Dog Officer when it enters service later this month. According to Royal Caribbean International’s social media profiles, the golden retriever will live onboard while serving as “family dog” of Icon’s crew. The new crew member, Rover, boarded the ship in Puerto Rico, along with its Chief of Staff Alison Hubble. “As a crew member on the Icon, Rover’s job is to bring joy and happiness to her fellow crew and guests onboard,” Royal Caribbean said in a social media video. Among its activities onboard, the Chief Dog Officer is poised to hang out on the bridge with the captain, and also perform daily walks across the ship, the company added. The five-month-old golden retriever will also be able to “explore the Caribbean shores and beautiful ports,” Royal Caribbean said. The Icon of the Seas is currently undergoing final preparations ahead of its maiden voyage. Starting on Jan. 27, the vessel is set to offer a series of week-long cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas. During its inaugural season, the Icon of the Seas will visit several destinations in the region, including Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Basseterre, St. Kitts, and Roatan, Honduras. Delivered to Royal Caribbean International in late November, the LNG-powered cruise ship recently arrived at its homeport in Miami for the first time. Taking over the title from its fleet mate Wonder of the Seas, the Icon will serve as the world’s largest cruise ship. At 250,800 tons, the 365-meter-long ship was built by the Meyer Turku in Finland, and can accommodate over 5,610 guests at double occupancy, in addition to 2,350 crew members. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted January 23 Share #8 Posted January 23 I saw the comercial for the new ship and noticed that it had a dog on it. I was wondering if it was a support dog or something. WoJSTL and I love cruises and had been on the biggest ship at that time. We plan on doing an Alaska ship and shore cruise in a couple of year which will probably be on a smaller ship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see myself doing the Icon (or similar) anytime soon, but I do think I would like to give it a shot just to rule it out. I may be surprised but generally, I prefer no of few kids and, even more important, few "party people", so that makes me hesitant for an Icon adventure vs an "adult" focused one. Bug Naked is on the Celebrity Edge which is far more my speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sister was working on Disney cruises and making more money. However she was fed up with all the kids and parents. She's going to take a lower paying job on a different cruise line. All of our cruises have been on Royal Carribean except for the last one which was Norwegian. It was very good, but we will probably stay on RC in the future.
