[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1475210821741{padding-bottom: 5% !important;}”]Quantum of the Seas is known for its latest technology – from hydrodynamic design, hull shape, low emissions and its low fuel consumption. Two of her highlights are the London Eye-inspired gondola called the North Star, attached to a mechanical arm 91 metres above sea level it gives the passengers a 360 degree bird’s-eye view of the ocean and ports; and the innovative Two70 interactive venue. Royal iQ, an interactive scheduling app, also made its debut in Quantum of the Seas making dinner reservations and tracking of activities easier. Other high-tech innovations include robot bartenders at the Bionic Bar, interactive photo kiosks, USB ports for in-cabin charging and RFID bands instead of key cards. Other than its techie tweaks, Quantum boasts million-dollar art installations such as the 9 metre tall magenta bear and the Waves of Light free-form mirror and glass sculpture. For dress, anything goes during the day and night (casual resort wear). Formal wear is not so big on Quantum, unless guests choose to dine at The Grande, where formal dresses and suits are required. Royal Caribbean passengers are charged $13.50 per person, per day ($16.50 for suite guests) and can be prepaid or added on a daily basis to the passenger’s account. Guests can add or remove gratuities by visiting the guest services desk.

[fa type=”bed”] Accommodation
There are several price grades and categories for accommodation on Quantum, depending on size and location. All cabins have a “view”, whether real or virtual. Virtual balconies in interior rooms have real-time ocean views that can be turned on or off. One of the innovations on board is the RFID wristband to replace the key card system. Most cabins are larger than the industry average. Generally, cabins are outfitted with king-sized beds convertible to two twins, small sofa that can be pulled out into sleepers, desk/vanities, three outlets (European and two US) with USB ports, flat-screen TVs, hair dryer, safe, and a mini-bar. All cabins are designed to let natural light in, but also have energy-saving lighting. Bathrooms are practical, with glass-enclosed showers, small counters stocked with travel-sized toiletries, and shelves for storage. Besides more space, suites sport a split-bath arrangement, access to specialty restaurants like Coastal Kitchen, priority check-in, reserved seating in the main theatre, priority tender tickets, spa bathrobes for onboard use, free pressing service on formal nights and priority departure. Studio cabins appeal to solo travelers. Fairly new within the industry, Quantum has 28 studio cabins, 12 of which have balconies.

[fa type=”cutlery”] Food
Quantum is proud of its Dynamic Dining concept. It features 18 restaurant and eatery choices allowing passengers to not worry about dining times and seating and eat wherever they want to.

Some of the free dining options are contemporary restaurant Chic, pan-Asian dishes from Silk, American comfort food at American Icon Grill, The Cafe at the hi-tech Two70 venue, or casual food truck staples from SeaPlex Dog House. Royal Caribbean signatures such as the 24-hour Cafe Promenade, Sorrento’s Pizzeria and Windjammer Marketplace are other options. Passengers can try something new or splurge a little on high-end dining at Michael’s Genuine Pub by Chef Michael Schwartz, have chocolate or coffee at La Patisserie, sample Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver, or try the transcending dining experience at Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine. Room service is available 24/7. Late-night/early-morning orders (between midnight and 5am) incur a $3.95 surcharge.
