Interior and Ocean View
An interior cabin can suit travellers who spend most of the day around the ship. Ocean View categories add daylight and a view through a window. Check the specific layout: an ocean-view window does not mean a balcony.

Meet Icon of the Seas
Icon of the Seas is Royal Caribbean International’s first Icon Class ship, which began its inaugural cruise in January 2024. At 365 metres long, with 20 decks, it brings together places for adventure, family time and quiet evenings overlooking the ocean. Caribbean port days alternate with time at sea, when exploring the ship becomes part of the holiday itself.

Eight neighbourhoods give each part of the ship its own character. Thrill Island is for active adventures, Chill Island for pool time and Surfside for families. Walk among live greenery in Central Park or meet for coffee on the Royal Promenade. AquaDome combines panoramic views with aquatic performances, The Hideaway has an adults-only beach-club atmosphere, and the Suite Neighborhood serves eligible suite guests.
Icon of the Seas cabins and suites
Your cabin shapes both your budget and your time aboard. Decide whether you want an open balcony, a separate space for children or simply a comfortable base for sleeping. Then compare the floor plan, deck location and permitted occupancy.
Balcony and Infinite Ocean View Balcony
Compare a conventional balcony with Infinite Balcony categories, where a lowering panoramic window opens the space to the sea breeze. Check whether the view faces the ocean or an internal neighbourhood; outlook and privacy vary.
Space for families
Family Infinite Ocean View Balcony rooms include a separate bunk area for children. Surfside Family Suites offer a kids’ space and a split bathroom. Consider your children’s ages and sleeping routines when comparing these layouts.
Suites for a special trip
Panoramic Suites offer floor-to-ceiling windows. The multi-level Ultimate Family Townhouse has its own slide and access towards Surfside. Dining benefits, services and access to exclusive areas depend on the suite category.
Check your cabin on the deck plan before paying, including nearby lifts, pools and entertainment venues. For a larger family, confirm connecting-room availability and the actual sleeping arrangements.
Icon of the Seas Caribbean itineraries
Itinerary examples include week-long Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Miami, with Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas. Compare the islands and the number of sea days so you have time to enjoy the ship as well as the ports.
Eastern Caribbean
Depending on the departure, ports may include St. Thomas, St. Maarten or San Juan. These routes mix beach time with port-town exploring. Check how long the ship stays before arranging an excursion or an independent day out.
Western Caribbean
Examples include Cozumel and Puerto Costa Maya in Mexico, and Roatán in Honduras. Compare shore activities and the all-aboard time for each stop. Cruises of the same length do not necessarily visit the same ports.
Perfect Day at CocoCay and sea days
Royal Caribbean’s private Bahamian island adds a beach day to the trip. Some areas and activities cost extra. Days without a port call are a chance to explore the ship’s pools, shows and dining venues.
These are itinerary examples, not a sailing schedule. Confirm the departure port, order of stops, cruise length and CocoCay visit in the details of your selected departure.
Onboard entertainment, pools and shows
Build your sea day around waterslides in the morning, pool time in the afternoon and a performance after dinner. Check the cruise programme early to fit your favourite activities around meals and time to relax.
Category 6 and Thrill Island
Category 6 has six waterslides. Other active options include the FlowRider surf simulator, Adrenaline Peak climbing wall and Lost Dunes mini-golf. Height restrictions and other participation requirements apply to individual attractions.
Pool time
The ship has seven pools. Royal Bay offers a lively place to spend the day, while Swim & Tonic has a swim-up bar. The Hideaway is an adults-only space with sea views and music.
AquaTheater and Absolute Zero
AquaTheater hosts aquatic acrobatics and diving beneath the AquaDome. Absolute Zero is the ship’s ice arena, with skating performances. Check times in the Royal Caribbean app; reservations may be needed for your chosen show.
Music and evenings aboard
Theatre, live music and bars offer ways to continue the evening after dinner. For a slower pace, walk through Central Park or enjoy the views from AquaDome. Performance schedules vary by sailing.
Check activity charges, age restrictions and reservation requirements for your departure. Outdoor attractions may also be affected by weather.
Restaurants and dining on Icon of the Seas
Choose between a sit-down meal, a quick bite between activities and a special evening of dining. When comparing fares, check which venues and drinks are included in your booking.
Everyday dining
The Main Dining Room and Windjammer buffet are familiar choices for daily meals. AquaDome Market brings several food stands together, while Surfside Eatery and Surfside Bites are convenient for families spending time in Surfside. Check the daily programme for opening hours.
A special evening
Chops Grille offers steakhouse dining, Izumi serves Japanese cuisine, and Empire Supper Club pairs a multi-course dinner with live music. Speciality restaurants generally cost extra and require reservations; check dining-package coverage separately.
Drink packages, alcohol, selected dishes and special dinners may carry additional charges. Share food allergies or dietary requirements when booking and discuss them again with the onboard team.
A little planning makes a big difference
Travelling with children
Surfside is a neighbourhood designed for families. When comparing cabins, consider the children’s ages, sleeping arrangements and the distance to the places you will use most.
Choose your view
A balcony does not always mean an ocean view. Check the exact cabin category, outlook and deck location, as well as capacity and connecting-room availability.
Build the whole trip
Allow time to reach the departure port. Consider a pre-cruise hotel, transfers and excursions, and check the return-to-ship time before booking independent activities.
Before you confirm your booking
- Compare the total for everyone in the cabin, including the taxes and fees shown in your quote.
- Check which dining, drinks, internet, gratuities and activities are included in your specific fare.
- Review the deposit, final payment date, cancellation conditions and travel-document requirements for your itinerary.
