Good luck convincing the kids to leave the pool deck before sunset.

Most family vacations involve an unspoken compromise: either the kids are having the time of their lives, or the parents are actually relaxing.

Icon of the Seas is what happens when someone decides you shouldn't have to choose.

Entire neighborhoods are built around how different people travel. In Surfside, everything is built for families with younger kids—splash zones, bites, and play areas where you can comfortably settle in for the afternoon without trekking across a giant deck.

Eight decks up, The Hideaway features the first suspended infinity pool at sea, complete with daybeds, DJ sets, and uninterrupted ocean views exclusively for adults.

Between Category 6 (the largest waterpark at sea), the AquaDome's high-diving theatrical performances, and more than 40 places to eat and drink, everyone finds their version of vacation—on the exact same ship.

WORTH KNOWING:

• Sails 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean routes departing Miami.

• Every sailing includes a full day at Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay.

• Stateroom tip: Surfside Family Suites feature dedicated kid alcoves with bunk beds and chalkboards.
