Found in the middle of Deck 8, the space is open to the sky, and it&#8217;s home to more than 12,000 plants, cared for by a resident gardener. On ships that have it, you&#8217;ll find two living walls, an overhead art installation that lights up, bars, shops and restaurants with plenty of both indoor and alfresco seating.<\/p>\n<p>The neighborhood is flanked by four decks of balcony cabins that overlook the spot but offer no ocean views.<\/p>\n<p>Be warned that Central Park can feel like a greenhouse. Despite all the vegetation, there&#8217;s little shade and not much of a breeze. However, it&#8217;s a lovely place for dining and drinks after the sun goes down.<\/p>\n<p>Although the specific offerings can vary by ship \u2014 as is the case with Icon of the Seas, which will have new venues \u2014 Central Park generally includes restaurants like 150 Central Park (for-fee, upscale fine dining), Giovanni&#8217;s Table (for-fee Italian), Chops Grille (for-fee steakhouse) and Park Cafe (free grab-and-go fare) and bars such as Vintages (wine) and Chandon (spritzers).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/best-royal-caribbean-cruise-ships\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The best Royal Caribbean cruise ship for every type of traveler<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"&#10;        EmailSignUp_container__70lh2&#10;        undefined&#10;        EmailSignUp_isLoading__zGkU5&#10;      \"><picture class=\"EmailSignUp_graphic__AEA5s\"><source media=\"screen and (max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-mob.svg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-dt.svg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_form__cnneL\">\n<p>Daily Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a id=\"what-does-it-cost-to-check-out-royal-caribbeans-central-park\" class=\"jsx-3480274316 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-3480274316\">What does it cost to check out Royal Caribbean&#8217;s Central Park?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s complimentary to walk through Central Park, but many of the offerings located there are not.
