Creator's Key Takeaways

I've sailed Royal Caribbean's biggest ships, newest ships, and most popular ships. But Quantum of the Seas might just be the strangest ship in the fleet.

The Northstar was incredible. We did the iFly skydiving simulator, which was so fun.

The indoor pool is so underrated for kids. What a great space for especially this Pacific coast which is cooler or an Alaska sailing.

My biggest complaint about this ship, the Wi-Fi was not good. So, it'd be great if they could upgrade that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Give yourself an hour or more for tendering to avoid missing tours.
Do reservations for golf cart rentals on Catalina Island and be prepared for a $65 cash deposit.
Book excursions through the cruise line if you want them to wait for you.
