Category 6 Waterpark
Six waterslides, including the tallest drop slide at sea. No extra charge.
The biggest ship at sea, built for families
Icon of the Seas is divided into neighborhoods, so the little ones, the teens and the grown-ups each get their own corner of the ship without anyone feeling far apart. The kids' areas sit right next to family dining and the pools, which makes drop-offs and pick-ups easy.
