Creator's Key Takeaways

This ship, Quantum of the Seas, stands out to me as being much better than a lot of the other cruise ships I've been on.

The cabin design is absolutely brilliant.

The casual dining options were surprisingly good.

And best of all, for once, the price was right.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a travel agent rather than booking directly with the cruise line.
If you're sensitive to strobe lights, skip the evening shows at 270.
Always keep an eye out for wildlife in the water.

YouTube Video Description

Join me for a full review of Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas! This was my 72nd cruise over the last 30 years, and my 10th cruise with Royal Caribbean. I can honestly say this ship stands out as one of the best. In this video, I take you inside the adults-only Solarium, a glass-enclosed paradise perfect for any weather. It features a series of cascading pools that you can relax in while enjoying the views of the scenery outside. There are also two large hot tubs, day beds and loungers, a full bar, and a buffet restaurant right next door. I also show you the incredible Two70 lounge with its amazing lighting, sound, special effects, and robotic screens... though I have a serious warning that you need to hear before you go. I also explore the SeaPlex (bumper cars at sea!), the NorthStar aerial pod, and why I think the cabin design on this ship is absolutely brilliant compared to other lines. Plus, I’ll share the best thing I ate on the ship — and it wasn’t in the main dining room! You'll get a full cabin tour of a typical balcony cabin (specifically 12662) as well as a look at the difference between that and a less-expensive oceanview cabin. I explain why the closet design is genius, and several other smart design choices Royal Caribbean made with their cabin design. I talk about dining in the Windjammer buffet restaurant... The steakhouse, Chops Grille... and I introduce you to the $4 pulled pork nachos at the pub. They were so good that I went back on a second visit for more! Quantum Of The Seas offers a tremendous value for the dollar, especially when compared to newer Royal Caribbean ships such as Icon of the Seas.
