Royal Caribbean’s latest offering, the Icon of the Seas, promises to be the perfect getaway for every type of vacationer. From families to couples, to groups of friends, the cruise ship has something for everyone.
One of the standout features of the Icon of the Seas is its next-level accommodations. In the recently released article, “Making an Icon: Creating Next-level Accommodations,” experts take us through the longest timeframe the cruise line has ever dedicated to designing the perfect homebase for every type of vacationer.
This video reveals that Royal Caribbean spent a considerable amount of time researching, designing, and constructing the 28 different types of rooms on the ship. The goal was to create a more extensive range of categories for families, more layouts with ocean views, and more space for groups of three, four, five, and more.
The process started with extensive research into what vacationers were looking for in their accommodations. The cruise line conducted surveys and gathered feedback from past passengers to identify pain points and areas where they could improve. They also looked at the latest design trends in the hospitality industry to ensure that they were offering the most cutting-edge accommodations.
Once they had a clear idea of what their customers wanted, the design team got to work. They spent countless hours creating mockups and prototypes, tweaking the layouts and features until they were perfect. They even enlisted the help of focus groups to get feedback on the designs and ensure that they were hitting the mark.
The end result is a range of accommodations that are sure to please even the most discerning vacationer. Families can choose from a range of staterooms with extra space and amenities like bunk beds and pull-out sofas. Couples can enjoy intimate balcony rooms with stunning ocean views, while groups of friends can opt for expansive suites that can sleep up to 10 people.
But it’s not just the size and layout of the rooms that make them special. Royal Caribbean has also paid attention to the little details that make a big difference. From luxurious bedding to state-of-the-art entertainment systems, every aspect of the rooms has been scrutinized to ensure that guests have the best possible experience.
