Making an Icon - Top Deck Challenge.

Check-out latest video update of the construction of Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship and the Top Deck Challenge. Here, staff and designers discuss water. Lots and lots of water. Normal ships may have up to 200 tons of water in the pools. Icon of the Seas was designed to have 500-1000 tons of water.

Thank you so much that’s an awesome video. Honestly I do not see how that ship is going to float but RCL has done it before and I’m sure they’ll do it again amazing.

Biggest unanswered question for me…how many top deck chairs in the sun? I did not see many. Imagine the daily fight for chairs each day if they only had 1000 seats with 10,000 people on board. Laying in the sun is the number one priority for me and most people I know when cruising. It could be miserable if you could never find a seat.

Good question. With Boardwalk rezoned as Surfside on Deck 7, there are more areas for kids and families to congregate. This should leave many more deck chairs available around the ship. We'll know for sure within the next two weeks how that pans out. When I was aboard Icon of the Seas on Jan 11, there were no noticeable AMC's (Areas of Mass Congestion) and places for adults to finally be able to enjoy on non-port days.
