Creator's Key Takeaways

It was a very royal day in St. Martin with three of the four ships belonging to Royal Caribbean.

It was overall a rather poor weather condition day in St. horn. But a great ship spotting day, especially for any Royal Caribbean fans out there.

Overall, it was a good act. It was of course being one of the show times scheduled for 45 minutes. actually went on for a full hour, so it was a little bit longer than scheduled.

So, the Royal Esplanada may not be a royal prominade by definition, but it is still serving the same function and it's really a nice environment to just sit down, relax.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Visit Seno's Pizza for a quick snack, especially in the middle of the night.
βœ“Use the Royal Esplanada as a central area to relax and people-watch.

YouTube Video Description↓

This is the thirteenth episode of theCruiseView's sailing onboard the Quantum of the Seas. 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 the Quantum of the Seas spends a Royal day in Philipsburg, St. Martin with the Adventure of the Seas, Celebrity Constellation, and Azura. So she chose not to phone this one in, having not one, but three horn battles with her fleet mates in port. We're going to take a look at the shopping options onboard the Royal Esplanade as well as the Via, and we'll be making a stop at Sorrento's Pizzeria along the way. In today's edition of the interview series I sat down with the Darren Budden, the Hotel Director onboard the Quantum of the Seas. In his role he oversees the majority of the guest experience onboard.
