Royal Caribbean cruise ships include the Quantum of the Seas. It is the Quantum Class's leading ship. In 2014, it was the third largest cruise vessel. The ship currently services the Alaska cruise market. Its top features include North Star, the Adult only solarium, Dynamic dining, and Skydiving.
North Star
Quantum of the Seas guests have the option to view the North Star 360° from their cabin. The glass capsule is located on the top deck. A mechanical arm can lift it up and down to 300ft above sea level. It also rotates 360 degrees, giving passengers a panoramic view of the ship and the surrounding ocean. Its design is reminiscent of the London Eye, an iconic Ferris wheel.
The North Star can accommodate up to 14 passengers, as well as a wheelchair passenger. It can extend over the side of the ship on sea days, but during port, the pod will not extend over the side of the ship. Crew members will close the pod when it is unsafe and limit its movement. Although reservations are suggested for the ride they are not required.
Skydiving
The iFly simulator allows passengers experience freefall and weightlessness within a glass flight area. The simulator is located at Deck 16 and allows passengers to experience the thrills of freefall. You can either take the class as a couple or separately. The instructor will give instructions and guide passengers through each step of the experience. The experience is enjoyable for the whole family, and it is available on all Quantum class ships.
This new adventure onboard the Quantum of the Seas offers a unique perspective of the ocean. The ship has 16 decks and 2090-cabins. Below is a video that shows the entertainment options available and the view from the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It also discusses the ship's flaws.
Solarium for adults only
Royal Caribbean ships have an adult-only solarium area with a pool, hot tub, and lounge chairs. Quantum and Oasis ships have the largest solariums. Additionally, they include the Solarium Bistro which is attached to their pool deck. Although the Harmony of the Seas has no adult-only solarium it does have a walkthrough mister which sprays water into the swimming pool.
Quantum of the Seas is the newest Royal Caribbean ship. It features an Adult-Only Solarium. This space has two decks and a glass roof. The space includes a large round swimming area, four large Jacuzzis (larger than usual), and a Thalassotherapy Pool. A lounge is also available for guests to enjoy light snacks or drinks.
Dynamic dining
Dynamic Dining by Quantum of the Seas is an innovative new way to dine on the ocean. The new dining experience gives guests more control over what, when and with whom they eat. You can make reservations for any event in advance or before you board. Royal Caribbean offers group coordination services and is open to making reservations on their own.
Guests can select any of four dining rooms on Quantum of the Seas, which feature rotating menus. Dynamic dining was initially introduced by Disney Cruise Lines and Norwegian Cruise Line. The concept was unsuccessful and will be discontinued at Anthem by November 2016. It started out with four main dining rooms that offered different cuisines. But it evolved into a rotating system. The table mates were rotated between the various restaurants each night.
Mamma Mia!
Quantum of the Seas's new musical, based on the songs of ABBA, will be released later this year. The show will be performed on stage and include songs by ABBA as well as other artists. Guests can expect great costumes and hijinks.
Mamma Mia will be performed in the ship's main theatre. The musical's cast stars. The show will feature songs from the ABBA catalogue, including Super Trouper and Dancing Queen. It will also feature the Dynamos ensemble and a live wedding. The minimalist set design allows the performers to shine.
