Icon vs Wonder: which cruise ship should you pick?

Royal Caribbean's newest ship costs about $63 more per night than Wonder of the Seas on average. Is the difference worth it? Follow me: tomorrow I'm covering the full Hollywood Studios 2026 guide.

Icon of the Seas weighs 250,800 tons (5% more than Wonder) and carries up to 7,600 guests — 8% more capacity. It has Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea, with Pressure Drop (the cruise industry's first open free-fall slide) and Crown's Edge, a skywalk hanging off the ship's edge. Wonder of the Seas, meanwhile, cost a confirmed $1.35 billion — more affordable and already proven by millions of families.
