Quantum of the Seas Review
My terribly romantic images of cruising vs. the cruise business
Rating by category
Additional details
This is a brand new, very sophisticated ship. Some things work really well and some don't. Unsurprisingly the most impressive bright spots I recall involve crew members doing a particularly good job. The technology never really shined and it never felt like it was making my life better (I am a tech guy from Silicon Valley, btw) but was acutely tuned to making more money for RC.
Bright spots:
-The cabin was great. Intelligently designed, comfortable and a pleasure to be in.

Ponta Delgada
We literally docked downtown with a 10 minute walk to the center. Lovely town and the people there seemed happy to see us. We wandered quite a way off the beaten path to a beer garden set up for a local fair. Great local food and a friendly server with good English made it a memorable visit.
Palma de Mallorca (Majorca)
A long walk into town along the water. Observed the largest collection of private yatchs I've ever seen. Off the tourist-track the shop owners were friendly and helpful. Easy to find good food and almost any little restaurant. This is one of the places we want to go back to.
