I have been following the Quantum of the Seas launch for many months and finally got my turn on Royal's new ship. Let me say...the ship is BEAUTIFUL. I love the new Esplanade. Reminds me a lot of Serenade of the Seas Royal Promenade, but larger, opening up into an amazing space. The decor around the ship reminded me of Celebrity's Reflection which is not surprising as it is a sister line.

We did not even need the drawers, and managed to fit everything in the two closets (huge change from the past where I barely manage to fit my stuff into all of the storage in the entire room).
