A Quantum Leap.


The big cruise news in the coming weeks is going to be the unveiling of royal Caribbeans Quantum of the seas.

Royal have done a great job keeping things under-wraps about their new ship. since it was announced and open for bookings there are still many UN-answered questions.

Namely "more to come"




I don't know how royal can hide key features from the booking public, if I was booking myself on the Quantum I would want to know if the cabin I was booking was near a nightclub, bar or a shop.
but its Royals decision to hide some details for the big unveil.



things we do know

Dynamic dining - Royals new dining concept
North star - the pod swinging people off the top of the ship.
Dodgems !! - this says it all (i cant wait)
Robot-bartenders- ordering your drinks from a robot sounds interesting - but who gets the tips?


The mystery of the promenade,
Royal have neither confirmed or denied the existence or a on-board promenade, studying the deck plan there seems to be a large sweeping shopping plaza type area.
but the absence of a popular feature like the promenade is a risky move for royal.

Viking UN-Crowned.
A permanent feature of Royal Caribbean ships since the beginning has been the viking crown lounge.
ever since the song of Norway there has been a Viking crown lounge atop the ship.


I always enjoyed the crown lounge on my royal cruises - sitting atop the ship, watching the world go by (with a refreshing drink) was always a favourite cruise pastime.

but now the crown has gone :(


there are still announcements to come and we'll have to see what royal have up their sleeves.

I'll be blogging my way through the announcements

- unfortunately royal have NOT invited me on board (shame on them) :)

tarar for now
