About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

This video is a little bit different for us in the way it is presented. Let us know what you think. We track our day through the ship as we board Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas for the first time. We have added a clock/timer to most sections of this video so you can keep track of how long it takes though out the day. We start with boarding at the terminal, move through immigration, boarding, lunch, a spa visit, a stop at the seaplex and then through to dinner and an evening walk. We tried to remove the background music as best we could from most segments of this video, as it was playing quite loud on some parts of the ship, unfortunately that means some of the spoken audio is a little wonky, so we have provided some commentary. This was the December 2023 Christmas Cruise with stops in Port Villa, Noumea, & Mystery Island. We love travel and cruising and hope you enjoy this video. **Fair use is claimed for incidental background music** 0:00 Intro 0:56 Pre-Immigration - At the Cruise Terminal 2:56 Pre-Immigration - Check in hall 3:42 Post-Immigration - Gangway to the ship 5:35 Post-Immigration - Boarding 8:00 Boarding to Lunch - Visit to Guest Services 9:00 Boarding to Lunch - Muster Station 11:50 Boarding to Lunch - Lining up for lunch 13:53 Lunch to Room 14:23 Lunch to Room - Shopping 14:23 Lunch to Room - Shopping 14:59 Room 15:47 Spa & Activity Check-In 21:07 Spa & Activity Check-In - Felicia The Pink Bear 22:05 Spa & Activity Check-In - Signup 22:40 Upper Deck 24:15 Upper Deck - FloRider & Ifly Tunnel 25:23 Seaplex and Arcade 26:43 Seaplex and Arcade - Archery & Basketball at sea 27:55 Seaplex and Arcade - Table tennis 30:03 Sip, Snack & Storm - Drinks on the deck 32:40 Sip, Snack & Storm - Spying on the Spa 33:20 Sip, Snack & Storm - Register for Kids Club 33:40 Sip, Snack & Storm - Stormy room 33:49 Sip, Snack & Storm - Windjammer 34:00 Sip, Snack & Storm - Bionic bar 38:00 First dinner - American Icon 38:52 First dinner - American Icon - Menu 39:35 Night walk - Pilot leaves 39:35 Night walk - Solarium
