Royal Caribbean cruise ships include the Quantum of the Seas. It is the Quantum of the Seas' lead ship. It currently serves Alaska's cruise market. Its most prominent features include the North Star and the Adult-only Solarium, Dynamic Dinner, and Skydiving.
North Star
Quantum of the Seas' North Star feature allows guests to see 360 degrees of the world around them. Located on the top deck, this glass capsule is attached to a mechanical arm that can raise and lower it to 300 feet above sea level. It also rotates 360 degrees, giving passengers a panoramic view of the ship and the surrounding ocean. Its design reminds me of the London Eye Ferris wheel.
The North Star can hold up to 14 passengers and a wheelchair passenger. While it can extend above the sideboard of the ship on sea day, it cannot extend over the sideboard of the vessel during port. Crew members may close the pod or limit its movement in bad weather. Reservations are encouraged, but not mandatory for this ride.
Skydiving
Passengers can experience the thrills of freefall in a glass flight chamber and weightlessness with the iFly simulator. The simulator is located at Deck 16 and allows passengers to experience the thrills of freefall. The instructor can instruct either a tandem or individual class. The instructor will provide information and guide the passengers through the experience. The experience is fun for the whole family and is available on all Quantum-class ships.
This is a rare opportunity to see the ocean from a new angle aboard the Quantum of the Seas. There are 16 decks on the ship and 2090-cabins. The video below shows some of the entertainment options and a view of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It also discusses the ship's flaws.
For adults only
Royal Caribbean ships boast an adult-only Solarium with a pool, hot bathtub, and lounge chairs. Quantum and Oasis ships have the largest solariums. Additionally, they include the Solarium Bistro which is attached to their pool deck. Although the Harmony of the Seas lacks an adult-only Solarium, it does include a walk-through mister to spray water into the pool.
The newest Royal Caribbean ship, the Quantum of the Seas, features an Adult-Only Solarium. This relaxing space spans two decks, with a glass rooftop above. The Solarium features a thalassotherapy and four large Jacuzzis as well as one large swimming pool. The Solarium also features a lounge with complimentary drinks and light snacks.
Dynamic Dining
Quantum of the Seas has launched Dynamic Dining, an exciting new concept for dining on the sea. The new dining concept allows guests to have more control over where, when and who they dine with. This flexible system allows you to make reservations for any dining event well in advance, or even before you board. Groups are welcome to make their own reservations, too, and Royal Caribbean can arrange group coordination services.
Quantum of the Seas' four dining areas offer guests the option of rotating menus. Dynamic dining was originally introduced by Disney Cruise Line as well as Norwegian Cruise Line. The idea was rejected by Disney Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line, and it will be discontinued by Anthem by November 2016. Although the initial concept featured four dining rooms with different cuisines, it evolved to a rotational system. On a nightly schedule, table mates moved through the restaurants.
Mamma Mia!
A new musical based on the songs of Swedish pop sensation ABBA will debut on the Quantum of the Seas later this year. The show will be performed on stage and include songs by ABBA as well as other artists. Expect to enjoy great costumes as well as hijinks.
Mamma Mia will be performed in the ship's main theatre. Starring the entire cast of the musical. The show will feature songs taken from the ABBA catalog including Super Trouper's smash hit Dancing Queen. It will also feature Dynamos and live weddings. The minimalist set design allows the performers to shine.
