Creator's Key Takeaways

This is our first American Royal Caribbean cruise, and the last time we sailed with them in Europe, it honestly wasn't our favorite.

If y'all knew what we paid for this, 500 bucks for both of us with gratuitities included.

The first day buffet gets a little crazy, which we kind of expected.

They've only ever tried to upsell us on the meal package, which is way better than our last Royal Caribbean.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check Royal Caribbean's website around January and February for crazy deals.
Use Gig Sky to stay connected on cruises without surprise roaming charges.
Give thank you bags to crew members as a nice gesture.

We Almost Didn’t Sail Royal Caribbean Again - here’s what embarkation day was like: Quantum of the seas vlog #royalcaribbean #cruisevlog #cruiselife We’re boarding Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas… and honestly, this cruise is kind of a test for us.This is our first American Royal Caribbean sailing, and the last time we cruised with them in Europe, it wasn’t our favorite - so we’re heading onboard to see if this experience can actually change our minds. In this vlog, we take you through embarkation day, tour our balcony room, and try the Windjammer buffet (huge, but underwhelming). We settle in, make small thank-you bags for the crew, hit the sail away party, try Sorrento’s pizza, and wrap up the night with dinner, a walk around the ship, and a surprise silent disco. By the end of the night, we’re already asking the big question: did Royal Caribbean redeem itself for us… or not? This is just Day 1 - and it gets interesting 👀 Part 2 coming very soon. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & What to Expect 00:15 – First Steps on Royal Caribbean 00:45 – Balcony Room Tour 01:45 – Cabin Details & Pricing 02:45 – First Snacks After Boarding 03:10 – Buffet Food Review 04:45 – Sailaway Party Fun 05:10 – Ocean Views & Sunset 06:10 – Dinner Time & Reservation Lines 07:05 – Dinner Food Review 07:30 – Wild Onboard Announcement 08:50 – Puppy Station & Ship Exploration 09:10 – Silent Disco Experience 09:45 – Outro + Part 2 Teaser ‼️ GigSky: An alternative to cruise Wi-Fi, GigSky is the only eSIM available on over 280 different ships, including RCL, Carnival, MSC, Norwegian, Princess and more.  Even better, the same eSIM plan provides coverage at every stop along the way. - Download the App - https://gigsky.sng.link/Euypu/to6o_dl=https%3A%2F%2Fgigsky.sng.link%2Fcustom%2Fexplore&_smtype=3 - Learn More: https://www.gigsky.com/data-cruises - See all the ship covered: https://www.gigsky.com/data-cruises 🔔𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. https://youtube.com/@Kj.cruisin?si=xy2Fryqq2jITH2Y1 🔗 Stay Connected With Us.
