Icon of the Seas cabin guide
When planning your vacation on the largest ship in the world, you must consider what stateroom you'd like to make your home away from home for the week.
Your budget may simplify the decision and force you to confine your search to standard staterooms instead of suites. Similarly, you may know off the bat that you're a balcony person, effectively eliminating any interior or ocean view rooms.
To help you select your cabin on Icon of the Seas, we've created a guide that tells you how large each stateroom is, as well as the cabin's occupancy and any fun facts.
Speaking of fun facts, Royal Caribbean increased the size of the shower in every stateroom onboard Icon. They also added an integrated bench to every standard shower, which means it's part of the shower and does not fold up or down.

Icon of the Seas Suites
Icon of the Seas offers the Royal Suite Program. This upgraded suite experience is broken down into three tiers based on which suite you book.
