Icon of the Seas Blocks Are In The House!

[Billy Baltic]

I know Oasis class was seen as a warm weather ship but Icon takes it to a new level in my opinion. I can’t see this ship going anywhere unless sunshine and decent temps are almost guaranteed.

This is basically the Oasis with a giant waterpark. Nothing really stood out.

Ok, as expected - Oasic class with Edge cabins. And some clean-ups.

Starting January 2024….. let’s see if Mr Bayley keeps his promise of bringing her to Southampton first…. However the Solent in January holds little appeal for those outside pools…

[icsys]

Hopefully, some will be heated, then you can relax in the infinity pool as she sails away from City Cruise Terminal

Just need my points to register from my last cruise in time so I can apply the slightly better pinnacle balcony discount 🙂

Show off!!!

In one week I will be able to claim the same!!

Absolutely not a fan of the back of the ship. Central Park looks like the inside of a Target store.

The more information  I see on this ship, the less it makes me want to sail on it

Absolutely, every pool is outdoors.

Small windowless DL on deck 6.

 

Do we know what The Pearl is yet- seems to have outdoor dining seating on deck 6 and extends up to deck 7 and 8?  
 

No robot bar 👏

It looked to me like it was an indoor aqua theater!

A glorified staircase by the looks of it 🙄. Surely there must be a surprise somewhere! 
 

 

 

There is a cafe and lounge behind, known as ‘Pearl Cafe’, which has views out to the sea. There are also windows at the top, looking down from Central Park.

Its a holodeck... all those squares oscillate, transporting you to another dimension.

[beardedladies]

Well that was an anti-climax with The Pearl 😞

Or transported to another ship …. which is what a lot of people here seem to want more.

When Oasis and Allure first debuted, there wasn't a water slide in sight.  Or the giant purple monstrosity that showed up on Harmony. Or when Royal ditched their association with Universal, so we didn't have to endure Shrek character parades anymore.  So yes, I had hoped there was going to be more of a balance of activities for young and old.  But I can't help that you're confused.

Yes they have realized families sail/spend more lol.  There will of course be activities for everyone, relaxing areas, central park, adult pools, trivia, etc.  They are just focusing on the family areas because that is what sells.

According to the blog that shall not be named, he isn't.

I've poured through all of the details but I can't find information on what rooms will be available. I'd like to pre-plan in anticipation of booking on Monday.
