Cruise Overview
Scheduled to launch in January 2024, the Icon of the Seas is the first of Royal Caribbean's Icon Class ship, which means it will have a new design, size, and look compared to other ships that came before her. Icon of the Seas has amazing new features on nearly every deck, giving guests more to explore in every corner of the 250,800-gross-ton cruise ship.
Cabin Details
All cabins come with at least two closets and three large drawers, as well as smaller desk drawers and cabinet space. A couple of smaller, camouflaged shelves are tucked behind the sides of the desk mirrors. Rooms have at least two chairs: one desk style. The usual cabins types normally associated with Royal are available as well as the new Ultimate Family Townhouse.
Dining Details
From the normal main dining room and buffet offerings, new concepts such as Pearl, replacing Cafe Promenade. Basecamp is going to be situated on Deck 16 and it'll serve essentially as a 'base camp' for a lot of the outdoor activities in that part of the ship, including the waterslide exits, the rock-climbing wall and so on. The Desserted Milkshake Bar is a debuting venue on Icon of the Seas
Activities Details
With Royal Caribbean's approach to family holidays most of the daytime features around this, such as Category 6, part of the ship's 'Thrill Island' neighborhood, is the largest waterpark at sea, offering splash-tastic fun for all ages on Deck 16. The park includes six waterslides, each with record-breaking firsts: the 66-degree inclined Pressure Drop as the cruise industry's first open free-fall slide; the 46-foot-tall Frightening Bolt, the tallest drop slide at sea; Storm Surge and Hurricane Hunter, the first 4-person family raft slides at sea; and the Storm Chasers pair of slides, cruising's first mat racers.
The waterpark is not the only place onboard Icon of the Seas for wet and wild fun. The ship will feature seven pools, including the Royal Bay pool - the largest pool ever at sea at more than 40,000 gallons. For comparison, a typical backyard swimming pool is a mere 10,000-12,000 gallons. Royal Bay, located starboard midship on Deck 15, will not only have water, but also in-water lounge seating, elevated whirlpools, and palm trees for a truly tropical ambience.
A new feature in the ship's themed neighborhood concept will be the family-oriented Surfside neighborhood on Deck 7, exclusively designed for younger families with children under age 6.With happy, colorful decor and something for everyone, Surfside is a hotspot no one in the family will want to leave. The open-air promenade is home to the ship's classic carousel as well as the youngster waterparks, Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay.
Theatre nights, live music and comedy, diving performers and unique skating shows Icon of the Seas has it all. No matter how you want to spend your evening, there's sure to be live entertainment to suit every mood, age and taste!
