Review summary
This is our 50th cruise and our third on Royal Caribbean. We prefer the design and layout of Princess ships with a central atrium which resembles a palace or a Roman colosseum which makes you feel special. However on Quantum we felt like we were spending our days in a shopping arcade where you couldn’t see the water. The younger age groups use the pools, rock climbing walls etc but we never use these facilities. There were 5000 passengers on the ship and the buffet always seemed full and hectic. We prefer small ships with less than 2000 passengers. There were no dress standards with some wearing tank tops and thongs in the main dining rooms. No one got dressed up for formal nights so don’t bother taking a suit and tie. The food in the dining room was very good but lunch in the buffet was hit and miss especially the stir fry and stews. Have to commend the staff who were always smiling, polite and helpful. The production shows were very theatrical and very different from other ships. Guest entertainers were very good and the West Indian band playing poolside were fabulous.Embarkation

Ship tip
Average age on the ship was about 45. There were lots of parties for younger age groups. If you are in the 70s age group, like dressing up and dancing then this is not the ship for you. We prefer the older Princess ships but this is personal preference.
