Icon of The Seas Features: 5 Things That Stand Out

Are you considering taking a cruise on the Icon of The Seas? Do you want to know what sets the Icon of The Seas apart from other cruise ships? This blog post will give you an overview of what the Icon of The Seas has to offer.

Here are some of the benefits of cruising on the Icon of The Seas:

1) The World's Largest Waterpark

One of the Icon of The Seas' standout features is its world's largest waterpark. The waterpark boasts seven pools and nine whirlpools, strategically located to provide breathtaking ocean views. Some pools are suitable for everyone, while others are located in exclusive areas like the Hideaway Neighborhood. In addition, the Icon of The Seas has several record-breaking slides.

2) Six Record-Breaking Slides

The Icon of The Seas is known for its record-breaking slides. It has family raft rides like the Hurricane Hunter and the Storm Surge, the industry's first open free-fall slide at sea called the Pressure Drop, and the tallest drop slide at sea called the Frightening Bolt. Moreover, it has two racer slides called the storm chasers, which you can use to race your friends.

3) The Crown's Edge Experience

The Icon of The Seas has a large logo structure on one side, consisting of a crown and an anchor. The Caribbean Cruise Line has transformed this area into an attraction for thrill-seekers. You can enjoy thrilling rope courses and skywalk activities while taking in breathtaking views. The activity lasts around 15 minutes. It's an experience you'll never forget. Please note that it is not suitable for kids.

4) The FlowRider

The FlowRider is a surf simulator found on the Icon of The Seas. While it is available on other Royal Caribbean ships, experiencing it on the world's largest cruise ship is an entirely different experience. If you're a surfing enthusiast, you cannot miss the FlowRider. It generates artificial waves by funneling 30,000 gallons of rushing water. Even if you've never surfed before, you can still enjoy this activity.

5) The Surfside Neighborhood for Families

The Royal Caribbean has added several features to the Icon of The Seas to make it family-friendly. One such addition is the Surfside neighborhood, where you can find a range of activities and food options for all ages. So all family members can enjoy. You can also find Surfside Bites, a food service that offers amazing grab-and-go food options to refuel yourself on the go.
