Icon of the Seas

If you want to have a great worry less vacation a cruise is one of the top choices, I have always sailed on the biggest cruise in the moment and right now tho is it. Icon of the seas. Here you can do anything you want. Relax, have fun in many ways, chill, party, gamble, play games. The options are endless. The only thing I have seen different from before is the food in the donning room. Before it was something you would look forward to and it was flawless now it it’s all the same if you have your dinner in the Windjammer.

We sailed mid July 2024 and it was a wonderful week. The ship itself was amazing, from the new design to the crew this was the best of the best. Yes there 7000 plus people on board plus the 2400 staff but besides a few bottlenecks getting out of a show or the pool deck on sea days you wouldn’t think there was that many people. The spacing and layout of this design made it sometimes feel like the ship was half empty. Zero waits at bars, no problem getting a seat or finding a spot to relax. Yes there were a lot more children and families on board, that is expected in the middle of July and with the ship being a family destination. Food was excellent at main dining and speciality restaurants, drinks were great and nice to new selections based on the bar you visited. The shows were entertaining and always makes you think, This can’t be happening on a ship. Overall worth the extra $$ , would do it again.

I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking world-class service at sea! First time we took a cruise and our experience on Icon of the Seas was nothing short of excellent. The ship is beautiful, each corner looks beautiful and I never felt crowded : I believe it’s because there is so much to do for all tastes that we achieve a good balance. The entertainment and shows (aquation, wizard of oz, Adam Kario, Piano Dueling, Latin Band, etc) are amazing with a plethora of exceptional artists. I would however say that the Stardust ice skating show was my least favorite with a poor storyline, direction and costumes that truly demean the performance of the artists/ athletes. What truly set the ship apart in my opinion was the crew’s unwavering dedication to customer service. Every team member we encountered was committed to guest satisfaction, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. There’s a genuine “can-do” attitude onboard—no one ever says “no”; instead, they find solutions to everything. Their proactive service and keen attention to detail make the experience truly exceptional. More than just a magnificent ship, Icon of the Seas is defined by the incredible people who bring it to life. The crew’s care, professionalism, and hospitality turned our voyage into an unforgettable journey.

We just left the boat this morning. What an amazing ship! The crew was amazing! The entertainment was high quality (Wizard of Oz). Everything we experienced exceeded expectations.

Spectacular with breathtaking design & architecture! Surpassed only by the broadway, calibre entertainment & shows! Be mesmerized by the stunning musical of the Wizard of Oz, dazzled by the performance of the ice show & awed by the phenomenal Aqua show showcasing deep dives, synchronized swimming & more! Relax & languish on the stunning ship’s decks overlooking the ocean and upcoming ports. Immerse yourself in the incredible beauty and foliage of Central Park while enjoying a speciality coffee or fine dining experience. Need a little more excitement? Walk and enjoy the Royal Promenade with all it’s splendour & delights from shopping to cuisines all against the magnificent backdrop of the Pearl. Prefer a more quiet ambiance, then the relaxing & cozy seating areas along the jogging track ensures captivating views of the ocean & sunsets. Need to have your children engaged? Then it’s a Disney world or Wonderland (Canadian) atmosphere on the largest ship in the world! There certainly is something for everyone regardless of preferences or circumstances. Bon voyage!🛳️

I recently had an incredible family vacation on the Icon of the Seas cruise ship. We booked the Eastern Caribbean voyage. The ship itself was impressive, it was enormous and offered a wide range of amenities and entertainment options. The water park was amazing to say the least. The dining experience was outstanding, with delicious food and excellent service. The crew members were attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome throughout the trip. The destinations we visited were breathtaking, and the shore excursions were well-planned. Overall, it was an extraordinary experience that I highly recommend.

Our family had an exceptional cruise experience on the Icon of the Seas. We stayed in a Family Infinite Oceanview Balcony Stateroom, and it was ideal for our family, which includes two tall teenagers. The room provided ample space and comfort for everyone. Activities: The activities offered were outstanding. There was always something exciting to do, ensuring that no one ever felt bored. However, I do have one minor critique: the climbing wall. It is not in the best location, as it gets too hot in the afternoon and had to be closed down during those hours. This wasn’t an issue on the Oasis-class ship, so it’s something to consider for future designs. Dining: The main dining room was somewhat disappointing. The food was lukewarm and tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. While the staff was friendly and attentive, I would recommend avoiding the main dining room despite it being included in the cruise package. On a brighter note, the Windjammer and Park Cafe maintained their usual high standards, and the new Pearl Cafe was a delightful addition, replacing the Cafe Promenade. Ship Design: The design of the Icon of the Seas is impressive. The ship is spacious and incorporates a lot of advanced technology, making for a smooth and enjoyable experience. Entertainment: The waterslides were a highlight, offering plenty of fun for the whole family. If I had to suggest an improvement, it would be to add one or two more slides to enhance the experience even further. Overall, the Icon of the Seas provides a fantastic family-friendly cruise with plenty of activities and beautiful staterooms. Despite some minor issues with dining and the climbing wall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time aboard.

Absolutely loved our cruise on the Icon of the Seas! The ship itself is incredible - spacious, beautiful design, and tons of things to see and do. The entertainment was top-notch - the shows were creative and engaging, and there were always fun activities happening around the ship. While the specialty restaurants weren't quite mind-blowing, the main dining options were good and there was a wide variety to choose from. Overall, an amazing cruise experience!
