Everything about Royal Caribbean’s new ship, the Icon of the Seas, promises a new kind of cruise experience. That includes a terrific variety of onboard entertainment.
With an
emphasis on the excitement of live music performance, the Icon sails with
dozens of musicians on board. They perform at Lou’s Jazz & Blues, the
Dueling Pianos bar, the Point & Feather English Pub, and several other
venues around the ship.
Musicians
are also an integral part of two productions in the Royal Theater. A 16-piece
orchestra accompanies a spectacular staging of the beloved musical fantasy “The
Wizard of Oz” (the classic tale has been updated with some modern touches, too).
And, a show called “SHOWBAND! Live. Music. Now.” puts the spotlight firmly on
talented musicians.
More than
75 other performers, from singers to skateboarders to ice skaters, will be
ready to take their places under the lights of the ship’s multiple performance
venues. Here are a few highlights:
In the
AquaDome – an exciting new version of the Aqua Theater on other Royal Caribbean
ships – a show called “Aqua Action!” combines the breathtaking skills of high
divers, aerialists, skateboarders, and synchronized swimmers with of-the-moment performance
technology. The AquaDome is also the stage for “Pirates vs. Mermaids,” a
lighthearted show that reveals who truly rules the ocean.
The power
and beauty of top-level ice skating is on display at Absolute Zero, the Icon’s
ice arena. The choreography of “Starburst: Elemental Beauty” takes full
advantage of Royal Caribbean’s largest ice rink yet. Another ice show, “Once
Upon a Time: The King’s Royal Ball” features familiar fairytale characters.
Be
prepared for excitement along the Royal Promenade – from time to time, groups
of sailors, swashbucklers and scalawags turn it into a stage for an
entertaining demonstration of their skills, as well as a battle of wits.
Before or
after a performance, you can relax around one of the ship’s seven pools, take a
trip down one of six water slides, enjoy one of the family play areas or try
out some of more than 40 dining spots and bars.
With
Caribbean ports to explore and so many options for onboard entertainment, it’s
unlikely that anyone could be bored on the Icon of the Seas. The ship’s
itineraries include Perfect Day at CocoCay, the cruise line’s fabulous private
island, too. To learn more about the Icon and how you can sail on it,
