Family Infinite Balcony
Do you want to spend quality time as a family and also find some “me time?” The beauty of a first-of-its-kind vacation like Icon is you can do just that every day across eight neighborhoods and even in a room like the Family Infinite Balcony, which is where families of up to six can truly have it all. This room’s spacious design includes a separate alcove for kids that’s decked out with TVs and bunk beds, as well as a split bathroom, with a shower and a sink on one side and a toilet and sink on the other, so that more people can get ready at once. And what’s more, an Infinite Balcony means even more space and flexibility as the push of a button will transform your outdoor oasis into extra living space.

Spacious Infinite Balcony Rooms
Infinite Balconies are new to Royal Caribbean, and their claim to fame is their flexibility. You can maximize your space with a single push of a button, which will transform part of your interior living area into a breezy outdoor balcony. And if you’d rather cool off with the air from your AC, you can simply push the button again to close up the balcony and enjoy that extra room indoors. Another perk? You have more than one view to choose from. Pick from ocean views or Central Park views, where you’ll be able to overlook the open-air neighborhood filled with thousands of real plants, walking paths, restaurants and more.
Surfside Family Suites offer up a unique living room by day and a nook for the kids by night.

The rooms, which are perfect for a family of up to four, will have children of any age and their parents feeling as comfortable as can be. The rooms and suites even have a separate space that transforms from a living room into a kids’ nook that’ll make nighttime play feel extra special. They also come with a split bathroom!
Fun fact: Surfside is where young families can stay and play all day. Everything is at your fingertips, from a beach-themed carousel to a fun-filled arcade.

Perched high up on Icon is the new AquaDome, a transformational neighborhood where you can catch both 220-degree ocean views and deck-defying shows at the next-level AquaTheater. Thanks to the hundreds of glass panels that make up the neighborhood, there are new rooms and suites you can call your home away from home that have equally jaw-dropping views.
Fun fact: Icon’s AquaDome offers plenty of nightlife activities, from trying out coffee-infused cocktails at Rye & Bean to watching aerial performers fly around the enormous, shapeshifting waterfall.
Sunset Suites—which are available in several layouts—make the sunset the star of every day on board.
