Service was beyond compare in Coastal Kitchen - however I prefer windows to see the ocean - we had a table for 2 right by the floor to ceiling windows so we would watch rehearsals for the Aqua show - different - hope you have a good experience - we had no complaints. I only wish with the high price of the suites on ICON that Coco Beach Club would be included.

I did not think that was the policy - never read it anywhere, but every time we got a drink in the GROVE it was never taken off our Diamond Plus allotment. Maybe we just had a very nice bartender. This was afternoons by the pool (tiny pool) but refreshing. All kinds of snacks and goodies at their buffet in the Grove also - sliders, fruits, salads, hummus and dips, desserts - small plate type things but very handy!!!

We just got off ICON - LOVED her! Free alcoholic drinks in Lounge - same area as Coastal Kitchen from 5 to 8. Since we had dinner reservations most nights at 6 - they just took our free drink order at our table before ordering food. We were Diamond Plus - they do NOT remove any free drinks from your sea pass card while free drinks in lounge. Likewise - the same for the GROVE - very nice!

We are sailing Icon starting Saturday - will we be able to watch the Olympics on ship's tv? Also, are there free movies in suites or is there a charge? Any hints or advice about Icon if you sailed recently - feel free to share! Thank you!

Thanks - just after I typed the question - it popped up on app and I was able to complete check in for my wife and myself. Will go back in to do pic later in the morning. I know health questionnaire is for day before embarkation. I was surprised - earliest check in on ICON was 11:30 a.m. We have always boarded other ships earlier than that - no problem - large ship - surely takes longer to turn over on port days. But, still like to get on asap - like an extra day of vacation. I know some people prefer later. Thanks for your response!

Does check in on the app - appear right after midnight the day it first opens - eastern standard time? Or does it open sometime later in the morning.

Icon - suite neighborhood - the GROVE

Thank you - really looking forward to it! -
Splurging on a suite for Icon cruise. Just curious as to how crowded the outer deck the GROVE with small pool and restaurant - how crowded does this area get - enough seats and loungers for suite guests. We found on Celebrity Apex and Beyond the RETREAT was often crowded and not enough seats for all seeking the area. Give us your opinion on the GROVE area - any tips or advice. Also, is the restaurant in the deck area open for breakfast ? I know Coastal Kitchen is open for breakfast not sure about the outdoor area for suite guests. Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

Thanks for your replies - !

Description says bottle of water included - is that just on embarkation day or are water bottles delivered each day? We are heavy water drinkers and sometimes buy the bottled water package - just wanted to know if bottled water supplied the entire week or just the first day A few more questions - how is reserved seating for the shows on Icon for suite guests? - on many other Royal ships - seating was better where NOT reserved. Description says one day pass access to Spa Thermal Room - must that be reserved?? Or do you just go and show your sea pass card? Any other tips or advice about staying in Grand Suite in Icon much appreciated!!! Thank you and smooth sailing!!

We have suites booked on cruises on both ships. I just realized that one needs reservations for Coastal Kitchen on both of these ships. I called to reserve and was told reservations can be made ONLY once on board. I was told go to the entrance of Coastal Kitchen when we board - just curious we usually dine around 6 - is it difficult to get the time you want if everyone can only reserve once on board?? Please advise - thanks for sharing your experience - wish we could just book online prior to the cruise like entertainment.

I am having the SAME problem on both Royal AND Celebrity websites. It allows me to log in on both, but when I hit manage cruise and go to shore excursions - both websites take me off and then show log in screen again - log in then it works - but go into buying anything sends me right back to sign in screen - frustrating!!!
-
On Celebrity if in a suite or aqua class - no reservations are taken for Laminae or Blu - we never had to wait for a table. I know one must make reservations for Coastal Kitchen on Icon - those of you that sailed - did you have trouble securing a reservation for the time you wanted to dine? We always like to go around 6 - just curious with a ship this large if reservations are difficult? Please advise - I read before you cannot make reservations till on board - Thank you!

Coastal Kitchen reservations on ICON
Treacher1 replied to Treacher1's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thank you so much - good to know - splurging on this cruise - pricey - and just want to make sure we can get in to Coastal Kitchen. Thanks for your response! -

Merion_Mom - you are the best - you have answered many questions for us throughout the years - sometimes I asked or someone else had the same question I did. You are a long time CC member - I feel cruise critic readers were more friendly in the past - some people get mad if you ask a question - say why did you not do a search - sometimes that does not work - thank you for your kindness all these years!!!
-
Thanks for your responses - we still have a decent time to embark - "the early bird gets the worm." I guess I needed to be earlier.

We are booked for Beyond March 11 - I went online at 6 am to do check in (first day available). The earliest boarding time was 12 to 12:30. Has this changed - in the past we boarded 10:30 to 11:00. Since I checked in at 6 am - I was surprised this was the earliest time. Did Celebrity change this to allow more time to prepare ship for new passengers or were that many people checking in BEFORE me. Not a big deal, but have always enjoyed getting on the ship early - seems like almost an extra day vacation. Thanks for your comments.

We are booked in a Grand Suite on Icon - confused about dining - I know breakfast and lunch are both walk in when you are ready to dine. Some places I read you must make reservations for dinner and other places it says NO reservations are made - the same as breakfast and lunch. Also, when in a suite is there NO charge for delivery of room service ? Thanks for clarifying -

We are booked in an Aqua class cabin and most nights will be dining in Blu. We have friends sailing with us NOT in Aqua Class and some nights we want to dine with them in some of the 4 MDR's offered. Must we make reservations? Or can we just walk up since we have anytime dining in Blu? Also, when we sailed on Beyond last year we were allowed to invite a couple sailing with us to Laminae (they were not suite guests). A fee had to be paid - do you think we will be able to get our friends in BLU one night for dinner if we pay? I am thinking if we dine earlier this might work, when it is not as crowded?

Quick question for those of you onboard Prima last 14 days - we are in a suite (but NOT Haven - that is all that was left when we booked). We made reservations for all dinners - do they have a different line at check in at various restaurants for those WITH reservations? We found this a problem on another cruise line - had to wait it a long line even though we had reservations - thanks for any information.
