Makes sense to keep all the '"kid" stuff in the same place I guess.. Ultimate family suites will probably be at the back. You can also see the carousel in the background of some of the images.

There is some kind of pool on the top deck near the back with aft views buy the looks of it, which is probably for adults.

Test load is up 

Some new additions

Just seen it on the UK site, hope the prices aren't indicative of what we'll pay, £450 per day for the cheapest suite is laughable.

Don't know about UK, but the Australia release for all ships is always super expensive on the first day, then drops after a few weeks. Hopefully the same for Icon.

I can tell you all tomorrow there will be A LOT to share.

[CGTLH]

From what I've been seeing posted around. Icon class gives me the impression of a floating waterpark...

[MarcBerger]

I will want to stay in the Family Townhouse for a 7 day cruise. I must have to sell either a kidney, multiple cars, or rob a bank first.

For real..holy Waterpark of the Seas!

[tonyfsu21]

Based on the leaked information I would say that RC designers have done an exceptional job dialing in the resort experience for the Icon. Why on earth would anyone want to get off the ship? I think we found our ship for Thanksgiving 2024!

At the rate spoilers and screenshots are being posted everywhere, I'm afraid they're taking away from the impact of your reveals for us tomorrow.  Would you say that despite what we've already seen, there's still a lot to discover?

 honestly It makes me wants to know MORE.... It look Great... AND i think It is a GAME changer... It will be a ICON for sure

[Vancity Cruiser]

I honestly felt that the statements of Icon being another 'game changer' was just over hype. I thought pretty much everything that could be done on a ship has been done and Icon would be a new variation. I WAS WRONG!!!!!!!

Same here.  I've cut down on my surfing for Icon info. People are not just spilling "secrets," they're dumping them!  I'll just wait for @Matt's big reveal tomorrow.

I get what you're saying.  I found the deck plans and some stateroom and venue pictures today on a booking engine website and although it's awesome to see them, it'll take away from the wow factor of the big reveal tomorrow.  It's like finding your Christmas presents before Christmas morning.

In this technical age I dont think anything ever comes without leaks

Touche

[BrianB]

I'm fastidiously avoiding any spoilers on social media and everywhere else. I want the full impact!

Onboard the Oasis now. Found this in my room when I came back from dinner.

Yes. I do believe I can squeeze this into my schedule.

[mattymay]

The site is now live 

https://www.royalcaribbean.com/icon-of-the-seas/site/

[Meridian]

I was just randomly browsing and it appears the Icon of the Seas site is live - I was looking for the countdown timer but its all there right now. -  Looks amazing!

There is a lot to take in,  the waterpark is next level with pools x 7,  infinity pools,  drop slides etc , aquadome it just goes on.   There is just so much outdoor stuff that looks impressive.   

https://www.royalcaribbean.com/icon-of-the-seas/site/  - take a look - the only thing they havent really described is the pearl which appears to be some sort of entryway space

Im actually a little blown away it looks like nothing else and RCCL appears to be taking it to a whole new level - nice for things to seemingly meet the hype.

Over 250000 tons and 7600 passengers, too big for me but I guess I'm not it's target cruiser

 

[DunwoodyDad]

I’ve not seen many renderings of the Promenade other than the 2-3 Matt has now on the blog that really feature the Pearl. Would love to see more there if they exist. I saw his comment that they are adding windows to the sea which I think don’t exist at all today.
