Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Eric from Royal Caribbean Cruise Line for this week's cruise chat.   

 . 

Eric and I discussed Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's newest ship Icon of the Seas. This ship has something for all energy levels, from active teens to parents of small children to adults who want to relax by the pool. Icon of the seas has it all!  

 .   

Royal Caribbean started “neighbourhoods” on the Oasis class, and they have continued this with the new class of ships, Icon of the Seas. With Iconic Thrills, Icon will have six waterslides. The area is called Thrill Island. One thing I love about Royal Caribbean is that their waterslides are included in your cruise fare. There are not any uncharges to enjoy this area! In addition to the waterslides, there is also the Crown's edge. This is an aerial adventure challenge along the ship's Crown & Anchor, which is 154 Feet above the ocean.  They will also bring back the favourites: Mini Golf, FlowRider, Rock Climbing Wall and the Sports Court, featuring Pickle Ball.  

In the Surfside area, you will find the Family Neighborhood with 3 Ways to splash and more ways to play near the Adventure Ocean - RCLs award-winning children’s program.  You will also have the Water's Edge Pool in this area with Splashaway Bay & Baby Bay. Enjoy the Playscape, ride the Carousel, or play in the Arcade. 

 . 

You will find seven pools in the chill area, the most at sea!  The pools will be on five different decks with infinite ocean views. In the Chill Island Neighbourhood, you will enjoy 4 Pools & 6 whirlpools & 4 Lime & Coconut, including Royals' first-ever frozen cocktail bar. Enjoy In-water loungers while listening to live Caribbean music. On cloud 17, you will have the adults-only pool (on Deck 17) There is a secluded pool with cantilevered whirlpools.  The Hideaway Neighbourhood will feature a hideaway pool with the First ever suspended infinity pool at sea. It will be Suspended 65 feet in the air giving you 180-degree ocean views while enjoying dedicated DJs music.

. 

Central Park will return on the Icon of the Seas, with over 13,000 tropical plants and lush green space with soft jazz music playing softly in the background to create the iconic atmosphere. 

 . 

Now for the WOWs. The aqua dome and the Absolute zero area are not to missed. This is where you will find the shows and the entertainment. The Aquadome is an enclosed AquaTheater with a  Shape-shifting 5-story Waterfall. Royal will have the largest free-standing dome at sea.  

. 

The royal promenade neighbourhood will have 15 Bars, restaurants & cafes • Parades, parties & live entertainment. You can break loose with  Spotlight Karaoke and showcase your vocal skills (or lack thereof - like me)
