What Exactly is "The Grove" on Royal Caribbean’s Icon Class Ships?

The Suite Neighborhood

Royal Caribbean introduced many new concepts and venues when they debuted their largest cruise ship ever – Icon of the Seas. Icon is the biggest ship in the world, and offers and array of spectacular venues and dining options onboard. One of the most exclusive areas of the ship is the Suite Neighborhood. Guests in a Star or Sky Class suite have access to everything the Suite Neighborhood has to offer, and on Icon, the spaces are bigger and better than ever before.

The Suite Neighborhood is a section of the ship where many Star and Sky Class suites are located, all centered around several suite guest-only spaces – Coastal Kitchen, The Suite Lounge, and The Suite Sundeck. The latter has been entirely reimagined for Icon, offering a much larger space that includes a brand new al fresco dining option. Royal is calling this space – The Grove. The Grove is an expansive, multi-level sundeck space that features daybeds, comfy loungers, a pool and hot tub, a dining space, buffet, and suite bar.

The Grove Sundeck

As you enter The Grove Sundeck, you are greeted by the smells and sounds of a delicious Mediteranean-style buffet being setup. Elevated dishes of fish, burgers, gyros, and pastas are carefully prepared for you to enjoy out on the patio, and just across the way you can grab a cocktail or glass of wine from the bar to pair perfectly with your meal.

On each side is the sundeck space with daybed and lounger options to enjoy on both Deck 18 and Deck 19. On the starboard side you will find a hot tub, and port-side is a small pool for cooling off on a hot day. For Star and Sky Class guests, having access to these private spaces is the ultimate perk. It is an exclusive space that you will be able to relax in peace, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the ship.
