Creator's Key Takeaways

the validity of the inaugural sailing claim came up more than one time the main excuse really that came from the team seemed to be that the term inaugural can mean anything

the internet kept going in and out it seemed to be a bigger issue while we're up north it was a huge issue at the start of the sailing

dynamic dining I think to many people's surprise was one of the least Troublesome parts of the ship

the ship is solid the crew solid the ship solid everything about it works but everything's relying on technology that fails

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring your kids to Adventure Ocean as they will have a great time and want to come back
βœ“Expect technology issues and be prepared for potential internet and app failures
βœ“Book dining reservations carefully as duplicate bookings may appear in the system

This is the eighth episode of theCruiseView's sailing onboard the Quantum of the Seas, the final day of the inaugural sailing. This series will take you into the day to day experience of being onboard the Quantum of the Seas for her inaugural sailing, an 8 night cruise to the Bahamas, as well as her first Caribbean sailing, an 11 night Southern Caribbean cruise. On today's episode we're going to look into what's available for the kids onboard as we get a guided tour of Adventure Ocean, The Living Room, and Fuel Teen Disco. We'll also review another one of the complimentary dynamic dining offerings onboard, Coastal Kitchen, the suite exclusive venue. Finally we'll look back at this first sailing and everything that didn't work out as planned.
