Quantum of the Seas Review
Beautiful, Innovative Ship - Cannot Wait to Go Again!!!

Additional details
We went on a 3-night sampler cruise out of Bayonne, NJ. This was a short getaway for my wife and I (millennial age) to check out this magnificent ship. Our overall impression is that the ship was amazing and we are excited to go on a Quantum class ship again in the near future!
The check-in process was simple. A staff member greeted us as we entered the terminal, checked our set-sail pass and passport and we then proceeded directly through security (a process that totaled 5 minutes at most!). We were then seated in a holding area of the terminal until our boarding time was called. We arrived early, so this wait was about 20 minutes for us until our 10:45 boarding time was called (on-time).
Once on the ship we were amazed by everything we saw. Our plan was to head directly to the seaplex to hop on the bumper cars, but we kept getting distracted by the beauty of the ship along the way. Walking through the esplanade, going to 270, we just kept stopping to take pictures! Once at the seaplex we hopped right on the bumper cars (no wait) and then proceeded to the windjammer for lunch.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom with Virtual Balcony
We checked in our room after 1:00 when they said the rooms would be ready. We had an interior virtual balcony room. We had the lowest cabin category yet the room was spacious. We were most impressed by the size of the bathrooms compared to other cruise ships. The showers in particular were very classy with a nice glass door and a little more space. The only thing with the room that was a little disappointing was the virtual balcony. We were excited about this feature however it was frozen for a little over a day and at night time it becomes useless since it turns into a black screen. Otherwise, the virtual balcony did add a feature that other interior rooms lack, and that is the ability to see what is going on outside (however, we're hardly in our room).
