TL;DR Summary

The world's largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, is set to embark on its maiden voyage from Miami, Florida, featuring 20 decks and accommodations for up to 7,600 passengers. Despite its impressive amenities, concerns have been raised about its methane emissions as it is powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). Environmentalists warn about the potential harm from methane leakage, emphasizing the need to reduce such emissions to combat global warming. Royal Caribbean Group aims to introduce a net-zero ship by 2035, while the ship's energy efficiency exceeds international standards.
