Icon of the Seas / Activities / Ice Skating

[DisneyWorld30th]

Hi there - We're sailing on the Icon of the Seas in two weeks and have a question about activites like Ice Skating, Laser Tag, etc.

I have never sailed on Icon but have sailed on numerous Oasis Class ships.  On the Oasis class ships, the activities I mentioned above cannot be book ahead of time.  They typically are not bookable until you get on the ship.

Is this the same for Icon?

Any additional info you might have would be great.!

While I have not sailed Icon. The general consensus is that if you don't see the option to book in the app or CP, it has to be booked once onboard. Icon may be a new/different class but most of Royal's rules still apply.

The Ice Rink is a bit hard to get to. Have to go through Playmakers on Deck 6 then down the  stairs to deck 5.

Icon requires you wear socks and long pants. They recommend elbow and knee pads if you have them. We were on the Icon last week and saw the Ice Rink, it was chilly!

Yes!  My son is a hockey player and we bring our own skates and helmet.  I just want to make sure we don't miss the sign up times.

We have three hockey players ages 7 - 12. They were not happy about the skating rules which included no backwards skating. It's almost second nature to the hockey player. It's normal in their movements on the ice. Tell your hockey player to temper his expectations. It is unique though to be ice skating while out to sea!
