3. Adventures for all Ages
Adventure is at the top of the itinerary every day onboard!
Crown’s Edge is a complimentary aerial challenge along the ship’s crown & anchor that is sure to be a
fear-inducing adventure! It’s part skywalk, part ropes course, part thrill ride, and an all-out test of
courage – as, right when least expected, the floor beneath could collapse, leaving only the most daring
guests dangling high over the ocean.
Guests can solve mysteries in the Royal Escape Room, team up for an exhilarating game of Laser Tag, or get active on the Sports Court.
Plus, teens can kick it at Social 020 with the latest consoles for next-level gaming tournaments, jam sessions, movie marathons and more. Then they’re off with their new friends to shred some ice at our biggest ice arena ever or hang ten at the fan-favorite FlowRider® surf simulator.
4. Seven Pools and Nine Whirlpools
Guests on board Icon of the Seas can take their pick of seven different pools and nine whirlpools, all with next-level ocean views. Whether it’s The Hideaway, the first suspended infinity pool at sea or Cloud 17, an adults-only poolside oasis, there is no shortage of poolside fun and relaxation. Plus, guests can find frozen cocktails on tap at The Lime and Coconut® pool bar spanning multiple levels, or dive into the largest swim-up bar at sea, Swim & Tonic.
