YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

This is the nineteenth and final 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 things are coming to an end, we're just hours from our final arrival back to Cape Liberty and departing the ship. So we'll take a look back at some of the highlights of the past 19 days, and of course review what did and did not work on this sailing. I'll also give a final review and opinion on Dynamic Dining and the Quantum of the Seas as a whole. We also may have finished with the 18 dining venues Royal Caribbean lists onboard, but on this 19th day we'll have a bonus Daily Dine featuring La Patisserie, the new french bakery onboard. With this sailing coming to an end that of course also means that we'll take a look at what's next, and that will be an 8 Night Pacific Coastal Cruise onboard the Jewel of the Seas on September 18th, 2015. That will be a slightly reformatted series as it is a very port intensive itinerary limiting the amount of time I have onboard to film all the various segments included in each episode. So let me know what you thought of the Quantum series, which segments you preferred and I'll apply that information to Jewel. I'll also be doing another massive Quantum style series for 13 nights onboard the Harmony of the Seas in 2016.
