Quantum of the Seas: North Star - At Sea + timelapse 12/9/14

Offering 360º views over the ship and out to sea, the North Star is a one of a kind new feature onboard the Quantum of the Seas. Built as a glass gondola on the end of a 135 foot long crane it is capable of lifting 14 passengers vertically to a height of over 300 feet. While in port they are limited to simply going up and down but while out to sea the crane can be rotated to hold the gondola off the side of the ship for a rare sailing view of your own ship. The North Star typically operates all day with a short break to reset the reservations in the afternoon on sea days with tickets distributed at 9am and 4pm. On port days it usually operates 9-11 and then 4pm to late with tickets usually not required. This video was filmed at 3:00PM on 12/09/14 during the ships 9th day of the ships inaugural 11 night Southern Caribbean sailing while headed back north to Bayonne.
