ICON of the Seas

On Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas, guests can look forward to modern, comfortable staterooms designed with families, couples, and groups in mind. Here’s an overview of what you can typically expect in both Balcony and Interior Cabins: Oceanview Balcony Cabin Spacious Balcony: Private outdoor space with seating, perfect for enjoying ocean views and fresh air. Bedding: Two twin beds that convert to a Royal King, plus additional sofa beds or Pullman beds for families. Modern Bathroom: Full bathroom with shower, vanity, and toiletries provided. In-Room Amenities: Flat-screen TV, safe, phone, mini-fridge, air conditioning, hairdryer, and complimentary basic linens. Storage Space: Ample closet and drawer space for personal belongings. Family Features: Many cabins accommodate up to 4 guests, making them ideal for families with children. Interior Cabin Cozy and Quiet: Designed for comfort and value, without exterior windows but with clever lighting and space-saving features. Bedding: Two twin beds (convertible to Royal King); some layouts also have sofa beds or Pullman bunks for additional guests. Value-Oriented: These cabins are a great choice for travelers who plan to spend more time enjoying the ship’s activities and less time in the room. Bathroom: Private bath with shower, towels, and basic bath amenities. Entertainment & Comfort: Equipped with TV, safe, phone, and a vanity area. Practical for Families: Available accommodations for up to 4 people. General Room Features on Icon of the Seas Daily Housekeeping: Room stewards refresh your cabin daily with fresh towels and tidying up. Room Service: 24-hour room service available (service charge may apply for some menu items and overnight orders). WiFi Access: Available for an additional fee if you wish to stay connected at sea. Power Outlets & USB Ports: Convenient charging for all your electronics. Storage: Under-bed storage, wardrobes, and shelves for efficient luggage organization. Special touches in some cabins may include virtual balconies (real-time LED screens simulating ocean views in some interiors), connecting rooms for larger families or groups, and upgraded bath amenities in higher-category rooms. Balcony Rooms on Icon of the Seas The vast majority of the rooms on Icon of the Seas have balconies, including the ship’s extensive lineup of suites. We stayed in an Oceanview Balcony Cabin on our hosted preview cruise and found the room to be well designed, fairly spacious and equipped with sufficient storage space. Balconies are decent sized, with most coming with a small table and two chairs. Suites feature more room, bigger verandas and more space. Balcony cabins are located on Deck 7 and above, include a number of varieties, including four new-to-Royal-Caribbean categories: Family Infinite Ocean View Balcony, Infinite Ocean View Balcony, Infinite Central Park View Balcony and Surfside Family View Balcony. So many options might make the decision-making process harder, but we were impressed with the specific family options we saw, especially the Family Infinite Ocean View Balcony, which is so thoughtful with its touches (bunk beds away from the other bed area; a neat blackboard for leaving notes). Because this is a family ship, with family activities throughout, there isn’t really a bad spot for a balcony cabin. If you have little kids, you might want to book something lower on the ship, toward the Surfside neighborhood. If you have adventure seeking older kids, stay closer to the top decks so you’re never far from the Thrill Island. (Icon is a massive ship, and you’ll be doing a lot of walking, so staying closer to the things that appeal to you isn’t a terrible idea.) Cabin Bathrooms on ICON of the Seas Every stateroom on Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas features a private, well-designed bathroom, ensuring comfort and convenience for all guests. Here’s what you can typically expect in both Balcony and Interior cabin bathrooms: Standard Features in Cabin Bathrooms Shower: All cabins include a private shower (not a bathtub, except in some suites). Showers are equipped with adjustable shower heads and glass doors (no clingy shower curtains). Vanity & Sink: Each bathroom provides a sink with countertop space, mirror, and bright lighting for grooming needs. Toiletries: Complimentary basic toiletries, such as soap and 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, are provided by Royal Caribbean. You may wish to bring your preferred toiletries, as the basics are functional but simple. Towels: Fresh bath and hand towels are refreshed daily by your room steward. Storage: Bathrooms feature shelves or cubbies to hold personal items and toiletries, making organization easy. Hairdryer: Provided in the main cabin area (not in the bathroom itself). Toilet: Modern, efficient toilet (marine style, with the distinctive “whoosh” sound of a cruise toilet flush). Hooks & Hangers: Handy for hanging wet swimsuits, washcloths, or robes. Differences by Cabin Type Balcony & Interior Cabins: Bathroom size is compact but thoughtfully organized. Features are mostly identical across standard rooms. Suites: Higher-category suites may offer more spacious bathrooms, double vanities, bathtubs, upgraded bath amenities, or even split bathrooms (with separate toilet and shower rooms). Accessibility Accessible Cabins: For guests with mobility needs, accessible staterooms include larger bathroom layouts, roll-in showers with benches, grab bars, and lowered sinks. Note: While the bathrooms are not large compared to a hotel on land, they are designed for efficient use of space and comfort for your cruise holiday.
