Royal Caribbean cruise ship Quantum of the Seas. It is the Quantum of the Seas' lead ship. The ship currently services the Alaska cruise market. The ship's most notable features are the North Star, an adult-only solarium and Dynamic Dining.
North Star
Quantum of the Seas guests have the option to view the North Star 360° from their cabin. This glass capsule can be found at the top of the deck. It is attached to an arm that can lift and lower it up or down to 300 feet above sealevel. It can also rotate 360 degrees to give passengers a 360-degree view of the ship as well as the surrounding ocean. Its design reminds me of the London Eye Ferris wheel.
The North Star can take up to fourteen passengers and one wheelchair passenger. The pod can be extended over the side the ship during sea days. However, it will not reach the side the ship when in port. During bad weather, crew members will close the pod and limit its range of movement. Although reservations are suggested for the ride they are not required.
Skydiving
The iFly simulator lets passengers experience the thrill of freefall, weightlessness and a glass flight room. You can experience the thrill and freedom of freefall from the simulator located on Deck 16. The instructor can instruct either a tandem or individual class. The instructor will guide guests through the experience and explain the basics. It is fun for all ages, and available on all Quantum ships.
This is a rare opportunity to see the ocean from a new angle aboard the Quantum of the Seas. The ship features 16 decks with 2,090-cabins. Below is a video showing some entertainment options and a view over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It also mentions some of its shortcomings.
Solarium for adults only
Royal Caribbean ships include an adult-only solarium with a hot tub, pool, and loungers. Quantum and Oasis classes have the largest sunrios. 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 (the newest Royal Caribbean vessel) features an Adult Only Solarium. The space is spread over two floors and has a glass roof above. It has a thalassotherapy spa, four large Jacuzzis, as well one large circular swimming pool. A lounge is also available for guests to enjoy light snacks or drinks.
Dynamic Dining
Dynamic Dining is a new concept in dining at sea by Quantum of the Seas. This new dining option gives guests greater control over when, where, and with whom they dine. This flexible system allows you to make reservations for any dining event well in advance, or even before you board. Royal Caribbean can also arrange group coordination services.
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. It was not popular and will be discontinued by Anthem in November 2016. Although it started as four different main dining rooms offering different cuisines and then evolved into a rotational system. The table mates were rotated between the various restaurants each night.
Mamma Mia!
Quantum of the Seas is set to debut a musical based off the songs of ABBA. The show will be performed in a stage show, and will include hits by ABBA and other artists. Expect great costumes, hijinks and fun for your guests.
Mamma Mia! will play in the ship's main stage. Starring the entire cast of the musical. The show will feature songs from ABBA's catalog, including Super Trouper (successful hit) and Dancing Queen (successful hit). It will also include live weddings and the Dynamos outfit. The minimalist set design allows the performers to shine.

How To
How to avoid being seasick while on a cruise
A hat is the best way to prevent seasickness while on cruise. A wide-brimmed cap helps to prevent motion sickness by keeping your head from moving too much.
Also, a hat helps keep water off your face, which reduces the humidity. This allows people who are prone to dizziness from inhaling moist air to breathe more easily.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate our bodies, which makes it difficult for fluid to move around in our stomachs. The amount of salt in the bloodstream can be reduced by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body to retain water which leads to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods stimulate the stomach to produce higher levels of hydrochloric acid. This helps to break down food particles.
You can also take medications to alleviate seasickness if none of these methods work. Side effects may include dry mouth or constipation, blurred eyes, headaches, dry mouth, dry eye, dry nose, dry mouth, dry stomach, dry mouth, dry vision, dry cough, and dry eyes.
