Icon Of The Seas INFINITE BALCONY - 7 Things To Know Before Booking

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator evaluates the infinite balcony cabin type on Icon of the Seas, noting that it is a controversial choice for cruisers. The review highlights that while the cabin offers significantly more square footage than a standard balcony room, providing a feeling similar to a junior suite, the design lacks the traditional outdoor experience. The creator explains that the cabin feels more like a large open window surrounded by solid walls rather than a true balcony. Key advantages mentioned include increased privacy from neighbors and the ability to enjoy views in a climate controlled environment. However, several significant drawbacks are identified, such as the loss of air conditioning when the window is opened, which can lead to humidity and fog. The creator also notes that the cabin requires companions to agree on whether to open the window, as the process is loud and affects the room temperature. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the practical limitations, such as the inability to hang wet items to dry or step out briefly without disturbing a sleeping partner, make this cabin type a negative choice for their specific travel needs.
