Icon of the Seas - Pool and Waterpark Overview Here is an overview of the Pool and Waterpark documents from above. Category 6 Waterpark: Pools:

Icon of the Seas - Renderings I don’t think these should have been posted on Royal’s Meetings and Incentives website, but here we are. What is interesting is how it says sailing from Miami, Florida - Early 2024.

I believe the pools will be on Deck 15. As there are no cabins on this deck, the deck plan wasn’t available to view as part of the test load.

Icon of the Seas - Deck Plans Here is a summary of all the current deck plans I can find on the website. The images aren’t the best, but its better than nothing! Deck 17: Deck 16: Deck 14: No Deck 13 Deck 12: Deck 11: Deck 10:

Icon of the Seas - Website Test There is one itinerary currently showing on Royal’s website, probably part of a test load. Cabin Categories: I have listed all cabin categories below, each in order of price. Surfside is probably the new name for the aft neighbourhood, based on these categories. Interior Cabins: Interior Interior Plus Spacious Interior Surfside Family View Interior Central Park View Interior Ocean View Cabins: Ocean View Panoramic Ocean View Balcony Cabins: Surfside Family Balcony Central Park View Balcony Ocean View Balcony Central Park Infinite Veranda Ocean View with Large Balcony Infinite Balcony Family Infinite Balcony Suites: Junior Suite Sunset Junior Suite Surfside Family Suite Sky Junior Suite Ocean View Panoramic Suite (No Balcony) Grand Suite - 1 Bedroom Infinite Grand Suite Sunset Suite Sunset Corner Suite Owners Suite - 1 Bedroom Icon Loft Suite Royal Loft Suite

100% Agree. They did say Icon will have more water and weight than ever before, now we can see what they mean!

The whole ‘boardwalk’ seems to be transitioning into a family zone. I’m wondering how that will play out with aft cabins and interior balcony rooms!

According to RCI, Utopia will enter service in Spring 2024. I imagine that she will head straight to the Med, or at least stay in Europe. I would also like Icon to sail Europe in 2024, although the port bookings look like she may be staying in the Caribbean for Summer 24, but I sure hope I’m wrong!!

Icon of the Seas - St Maarten Port Bookings 2023 Some port bookings finally started to show up for Icon, with the first call in St Maarten scheduled for 24th October 2023.

Key West, Florida Port Bookings (Correct as of 14/10/22) A number of new RCCL bookings made in Key West for August 2024 - May 2025, most for Rhapsody OTS, but a couple of earlier ones for Enchantment OTS. 2024: Enchantment OTS - 15th August 2024 (Reported Destination: Tampa, Florida) Enchantment OTS - 5th September 2024 (Reported Destination: Tampa, Florida) 2025: Rhapsody OTS - 6th January 2025 Rhapsody OTS - 20th January 2025 Rhapsody OTS - 9th February 2025 Rhapsody OTS - 21st February 2025 Rhapsody OTS - 21st March 2025 Rhapsody OTS - 6th April 2025 Rhapsody OTS - 18th April 2025

These bookings are just for St Maarten. Grandeur could be deployed elsewhere, so keep an eye out.

This confused me too! It is likely that Royal may just be securing port bookings to keep their options open. For example, Harmony has bookings in St. Maarten in Feb 2023, even though it is running 7-night Western Caribbean for the whole season, with no stops here. I will keep updating this thread, as bookings are added/removed.

I noticed this too! The Funchal, Madeira port schedule shows a November call for Odyssey, which I imagine is its TA. What is interesting is that the destination port is marked as Cape Liberty. Pair this with these bookings in St Maarten, it may mean Royal are planning to homeport Odyssey in NYC. However, these could just be place holders.

These will probably be released around Nov/Dec time. Keep an eye on this thread for further info.

Current port bookings definitely indicate that Anthem will be based in Southampton in 2024. However, it is possible that they are just using Anthem as a placeholder to secure bookings at different ports and could switch the ship at a later date. It also looks as though most of the itineraries are just a copy and paste of previous years, doing the same cruises on basically the same dates! We won’t know for sure until the itineraries go on sale around Nov/Dec, but hoping they may treat us Brits to a different ship!
