Royal Caribbean's first Icon Class ship, Icon of the Seas, is the largest cruise ship in the world, and with that comes a wide array of onboard offerings. Guests can enjoy an entire waterpark, relaxing pools, magnificent production shows, thrilling activities, and delicious dining all throughout the staggering 20 decks of the ship! There are over 40 dining and bar venues onboard, including 12 complimentary dining spots that serve up incredible dishes from morning till late-night!
After spending some time onboard this beautiful ship, we have put together the top 3 complimentary dining venues that Icon offers. These venues range from sweet treats, to savory bites, to delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Here are the top 3 included eateries on Icon of the Seas:
AquaDome Market
The "food hall" is a concept that has been growing in popularity within the cruise industry, as more and more brands are beginning to put their own versions on newer ships. Royal Caribbean has ventured into these waters with the creation of the AquaDome Market, their first ever food hall! Located in the new AquaDome neighborhood, the market offers several globally-inspired stations including rice and noodle bowls, mac and cheese options, Mediterranean fare, and delicious sweet crepes.
MAC'S | For a bit of comfort food, Mac's has you covered. Here you can grab your favorite mac and cheese from regular, to bacon, bbq, and much more.
GNGR | Here you will find delicious Asian flavors such as teriyaki chicken or beef, snow peas, all spooned over your choice of rice or noodles. Grab a fortune cookie, and enjoy!
FETA MEDITERRANEAN | Enjoy a lighter option with fresh pita bread, bowls, and gyros at Feta Mediterranean.
TOAST & GARDEN | Drop by Toast and Garden for your choice of yummy sandwiches and made-to-order salads.
CREME DE LA CREPE | If you are craving something sweet, you will want to stop by Crème de la Crepe for an authentic French crepe. You can have it filled with nutella or sweet cream, and topped with bananas, strawberries, caramel syrup, and more!
Surfside Eatery & Surfside Bites
Located in the new Surfside Family Neighborhood, this Surfside Eatery is a great place to go for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you have young kids. You can enjoy delicious breakfast options such as chocolate chip pancakes and fresh fruit, and for lunch and dinner there are fun-shaped pastas you can top with your choice of sauces- it's the perfect spot for those picky eaters in the family. There are also elevated options for the parents as well.
Surfside Bites is a quick, grab-and-go spot just next door to Surfside Eatery. Here you can grab delicious churro bites, hot dogs, french fries, and out-of-this-world popcorn chicken. This is an amazing option for a little snack in the middle of a long day of fun in the neighborhood!
Basecamp
Royal has debuted many new venues and concepts on Icon of the Seas. Thrill Island was introduced on Icon, and is a neighborhood that is all about adventure and fun. There are 6 fear-inducing waterslides (including the tallest drop slide at sea), a huge rock climbing wall, and the adrenaline-pumping Crown's Edge- a ropes course/zipline that suspends guests over the side of the ship, 16 decks above the water!
With all this fun and excitement, and neighborhood like this needs a spot for a quick and delicious bite, and that is where Basecamp comes in. This brand new dining venue is a complimentary/specialty hybrid, with delicious included menu options, as well as innovative dishes offered at an up-charge.
