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,
swashbuckler, 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,
