Staterooms
Let’s start with the staterooms, where Royal Caribbean® has truly outdone themselves. Whether you are looking for family or multi-generational vacation, the variety of stateroom options will meet your every need. From cozy interior rooms to luxurious ocean-view and balcony rooms, there’s a perfect space for every family. What impressed us the most were the split baths in many rooms, making getting ready with the kids much smoother. No more waiting in line for the bathroom—everyone can get ready simultaneously! And let’s talk about storage. Icon of the Seas℠ has cleverly optimized every inch of space, so even in a smaller stateroom, you’ll never feel cramped. Trust us; this is a game-changer for families.
But a cruise is more than just where you sleep, and Icon of the Seas℠ is packed with family-friendly features that will keep every age group entertained from sunrise to sunset. Imagine a vacation where the kids, parents, and even grandparents are all having the time of their lives. Icon of the Seas℠ makes this dream a reality with activities and amenities designed for all generations.
Neighborhoods
As you explore Icon of the Seas℠, you’ll find that each neighborhood has its unique charm. Chill Island® is perfect for those looking to unwind with a poolside drink or take a dip in the swim-up bar, Swim & Tonic℠. If you’re craving a more exclusive vibe, head to The Hideaway, an adults-only paradise with an infinity pool that offers stunning ocean views.
For those who love nature, Central Park® is a must-see. This tranquil neighborhood is lined with live plants, giving it an outdoor park feel, and features a range of dining options where you can enjoy a meal under the stars while listening to live jazz. It’s the kind of place that makes you forget you’re on a cruise ship and not strolling through a lush, city park.
For the little ones, there’s Surfside℠—a neighborhood dedicated to families with young kids. We fell in love with The Lemon Post℠, where you or the kids can grab a refreshing drink, while the kids enjoy the splash area and carousel. It’s the perfect spot for some quality family time.
For those traveling with teens or adventure-seeking adults, Thrill Island and the Category 6 waterpark offer heart-pounding excitement with record-breaking waterslides that will have everyone screaming for more.
Dining
Now, let’s talk food—because what’s a vacation without indulging in delicious meals? Icon of the Seas℠ takes dining to a whole new level. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or a gourmet experience, this ship has it all. The variety of dining options is impressive, with both included venues and specialty restaurants that offer something for every palate. We were blown away by the quality and diversity of the food. One of our favorite spots was the brand-new Aquadome Market. This innovative concept is like a food hall at sea, featuring five different food stalls, including crepes, mac and cheese, Japanese cuisine, Mediterranean dishes, and a sandwich/salad bar. It’s the perfect place for families to grab a quick and tasty meal without the hassle of reservations.
Entertainment
Entertainment on Icon of the Seas℠ is another highlight that sets this ship apart. With six different shows to choose from, including the breathtaking AquaTheater performances and a full-scale broadway productions, there’s something for everyone.
