Let me start by saying that I loved this ship. I loved the layout, the activities, and the location of all the venues. The pool area is large and the kiddie pool is adjacent to the adult pool, which is nice for both adults and children. There are many choices for breakfast and lunch other than the Windjammer Buffet (deck 14) located on decks 4 and 5. Our balcony cabin was comfortable and the ...
My most important recommendation for one traveling on Quantum of the Seas is to make sure you get all your reservations (dining and shows!!!) done PRIOR to your trip. They just introduced the "dynamic dining" which means that you can have dinner in any restaurant (paid or not) IF YOU HAVE A RESERVATION. You need to have a reservation to all restaurants!!! If you wait to make the reservations at ...
My wife and I enjoy cruising. We are in our late 60's . We took the 3 night cruise from Port Liberty NJ to see what this new ship had to offer. Since we live in New Jersey we were able to drive to the port and park.
Parking is rather limited and it took about 15 minutes just to get into the lot. We stayed in a stateroom with a balcony. The stateroom was a little on the small side, but nice. ...
I sailed with my family aboard the Quantum of the Seas, sampler cruise, for 2 nights. Since the ship was not stopping at any ports, the whole reason was to "sample" the ship. Unfortunately my family and I could not do much sampling.
However, I will start with the "pros".
I was upgraded to a balcony room, which was nice. Did not get to really use the balcony as it was a frigid 32 degrees and ...
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 ...
Just off the 2 night sampler in Bayonne. For background I am a Diamond member - mid 40's - living in Bayonne. Took the weekend trip with my 20 year old nephew as the interior guarantee was $1000 for the cabin but then we got upgraded to a Balcony Obstructed view at no charge.
Overall ..nice new ship, upgraded and luxurious details, the stylish decor makes it feel very much like an upscale ...
Quantum of the Seas: B2B Sampler Cruises 18-23 November 2014
In my opinion Quantum is an amazing and very beautiful ship. I was a bit scared after reading some very negative reviews, but I take things like reviews with a grain of salt. So, despite some not so pleasant reviews from the maiden voyage, I remained extremely excited and optimistic.
And I must say Quantum did not disappoint. Pictures ...
This review for the Quantum of the Seas is based on the 2-night sampler cruise, November 21-23. Admittedly, 2 nights is not enough time to fairly evaluate all of the pros and cons of this ship. But it is sufficient enough to at least get a sense for the vessel, the crew and what to expect on a longer cruise. Overall, despite the ship being new and beautiful, my wife and I left after the 2 nights ...
My husband and I felt this trip was like a prototype, having many wrinkles that needed tweaking before the working model evolves. The passengers were guinea pigs,needed to find out which, if any, innovations were feasible.
Check in at Southampton was rather chaotic, as everyone seemed to arrive at the same time. Those of us who had checked in on line were sent to a different area, and waited for ...
My wife and I recently sailed on this beautiful new ship for a three night "sampler cruise to nowhere". Arrival and parking was a breeze. Inside the terminal it was a little crazy, agents standing all over with tablets. There were a few traditional stands also. It went ok but we were there very early, 10:30. I imagine with lots of people it would be chaos.
We were able to get into our cabin ...
