Quantum of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

First impressions are always the most important and Quantum delivered..The new terminal at Cape Liberty was great........no lines because they have speeded up the processing........just show your passport for verification/ let them swipe your credit card and away you go.  Once on the ship your room key is waiting outside the cabin in a secured envelope.  Great.  In cabin you will find wrist bands that take the place of your key card.  No need to worry about pockets Wristband becomes the everything card.

Balcony cabins are nice size and well decorated.  Balcony chairs had ottomans to give more of a lounge seating effect.

Overall impression of the ship is one of understate elegance.  Wonderful art installations all over the ship.  Unique and clever.  Don't miss the chandeliers and wall hangings......Museum quality.  They should have an Art tour of the ship

So many different bars and lounges.  You could do a different one every night.

Loved the idea of the bionic bar but it was always crowded so never got to try it . We did try several of the specialty venues including Michael's Genuine which was great.

Another highlight were the shows.  Mama Mia was as good as on Broadway.  Fantastic

I believe that with additional training and more experience the ship will be 5 star.  I will definitely go on this ship again

Went on the 2 night Quantum and WOW next level ship as your walking around your mouth is to the floor.TOP NOTCH.With any new ship,there is some changes and will take time to work the kinks out.The Dynamic dining you NEED to PREBOOK.Many people went up and were rejected due to no reservations.Do not wait til onboard or a week before to book shows and dining or it might not be the best experence.Service was ok and needed a lil touch up but its a new ship and things are ran a lil different than other ships.Overall very great shows and next level ship.Had a great time and would recommend to anyone!!

The Quantum overall is a beautiful ship and full of innovation. It's certainly set up for those that love technology. The check-in process at the pier was a breeze and our keycard was waiting for us right outside our cabin door with our WOW bands located inside our cabin so you have the option of either just using the standard card or the wristband for one less thing to carry around on-board. 

I highly recommend pre-reserving show times and dinner reservations in advance online. We made reservations for StarWater and dinner for both nights on-board (Chic and American Icon) and it certainly makes a difference to ensure your on-board experience is stress free. There is no main dining room on-board, it's all dynamic dining so it's something to adjust for those who are used to the traditional main dining experience. 

I personally didn't experience North Star or iFly but we did do bumper cars up in the SeaPlex which was fun. There's plenty to do to keep kids and kids at heart entertained for hours. We didn't see MamaMia but I heard nothing but good things from friends on-board. The comedian was entertaining and there were several live music and dancing options for the late night crowd. Two70 is a beautiful area of the ship and turns into a late night dance club.

There were definitely some technology and service challenges onboard but it was also an inaugural sailing. Overall it was a great experience.

I was fortunate to attend a teo night Cruise to Nowhere on the Quantum on November 21,2014.  First and foremost the Quantum is beautiful.  From the interactive artwork, to all of the motivation posters scattered throughout the ship where amazing.  This was my 6th cruise, and was pleasantly surprised at the balcony stateroom, plenty of storage and space to move around.

Here are the pluses of the Ship: The Seaplex was innovative and well designed.  Upstairs your kids could spend hours playing on the XBoxes or ping pong tables that are set up. Downstairs the SeaPlex acts as a basketball court, trapeeze school, roller scateing to the best feature, the bumper cars. The only thing that I wish would be the bumber cars would go a little faster and the experience was a little longer then the three minutes that they allot.  Next on the  list is Ripcord by Ifly.  If you are unaware of what this is, it gives you the opportunity to simulate skydiving.  The instructors were amazing.  They were funny, encouraging, and very helpful.  If you do not like small spaces this is not the place for you.  I was happy I tried it, but would not run back to do it again, but it maybe due to the fact I felt closed in.

Club 270 was an amazing concept in the cruising industry.  The way the screens changed scenes was incredible.  This was one of the main areas for dancing late at night.  It is a two level area, where the dance floor is centered in the middle of the first floor.

The staff at Michael's Genuine Pub was top notch.  I was only in there a short time the first night, but the staff member knew me by name the next day when I went in to grab a micro brew.

I enjoyed a majority of the ship, but I need to mention a few things.  The Bionic Bar was a novelty part of the ship.  It was fun to watch a robot make my own signature drink, but the wait time and the cost of one drink was a little too much.  I think if they collaborated the robots, they could make this more interesting.  In the two nights, I only went to the Bionic Bar once.  It would have been nicer if they made the space a little larger too - not a lot of space to move around.

The Dynamic Dining was an interesting concept, but I think there is room for improvement.  We went to Silk the first night and American Icon Grill the second night.  The food was decent at Silk, but I feel like I have had better food at a traditional dinning hall on other ships.    Everyone at my table had the steak, and all agreed it was mediocre.  American Icon was better.  The food was tastier, and better presentations.  The service was slow, but I think that is intentional as the cruise lines want you to experience the food, and relax.

Overall, I enjoyed myself on the Quantum.  I do believe they were experiencing some initial bumps, but sure Royal will smooth it out!

Just kidding. The robot bartender didn't hit on my wife... nor did he laugh at my jokes.

I had an amazing quick, 2-day teaser on the Quantum.  It was the first cold-weather cruise I'd ever been on, but the Quantum offered PLENTY to do indoors.  

The focus on technology was obvious and appreciated.  Upon first boarding, we received a really cool watch to replace the normal room card. It had all the same functionality (buying stuff, opening doors) but felt a lot cooler.

The restaurants were outstanding and I'm sad I didn't get to try more. The sushi place had an amazing looking spread of fish, octopus, and other laid out, but I didn't have time to test it, unfortunately. I did try Chic and Silk - both were wonderful.  Get the "Thai Peanut Cheesecake!"

While on board, I did take advantage of the iFly Skydiving.  Total wait time was about an hour... totally worth it.

The robot bartending station was really amusing and didn't realize until I was drunk that I'd been watching these things for over an hour.

My cabin was on the 12th deck (12704) and was the nicest I've had. The balcony and shower were both surprisingly spacious. The bed was super comfortable.

Two70 is a really cool venue that I wished I'd had more time in. The show I attended was great.

One area I also wish I'd spent more time is the Solarium.  It's like a tropical oasis back there and the bartenders make amazing drinks.

Overall, I had no complaints at all. It was one of the best cruises I've ever been on, tying Oasis of the Seas as my favorite.  I'd 100% recommend this ship!

The entertainment was engaging, the food was great and the rooms where immaculate.  We got a tour of the different room types the ship offers and there is so much to choose from.  I regret not getting to try the north star but highly recommend to others to give it a try!  It was an inaugural sailing for us so too short!!  But I would sail again and felt that we had a very good experience.

this was a brilliant experience, we have always wanted to do an inaugural cruise and this was fab, the ship was amazing, obviously there was some hiccups but only to be expected

QUANTUM is EPIC FAILURE2 STARS!!! This is my 5th transatlantic cruise, out of 15 cruises and my second maiden transatlantic, from this route. This ship has many similarities with my maiden voyage with the NCL Epic (2-Star vessel/voyage). In short this ship is much more an NCL vessel than a ship within the RCCL fleet. This ship is a complete disgrace and not representative in any way, shape, or form; with any Royal vessel in existence. Below is a list of key areas to consider, followed by a summary of my experience. The ship seems cheaply built inside, while costing a staggering 6.5 billion Dollars. There is no similarity in the few public rooms, with any other spaces, throughout the fleet. There is no Ben & Jerrys (or any other) ice cream offered on the ship. There is no central meeting place, as is there is no Centrum or true Royal Promenade, as seen on other RCCL vessels. The technology aboard the ship is a complete failure, as are the many enhancements. The Bionic Bar, is a complete failure, which many NEVER work, due to its design. The drunken exploits, of the woman RCCL Vice-President, at the Bionic Bar; is a complete disgrace to RCCL, its passengers, & its employees!!!! The bumper cars, have very limited hours, which are during dinner hours, odd??? All dining is not equal to the quality offered fleet-wide!!!! There are significant room service surcharges, on items which are free on other RCCL ships. The 3-4 hour dinner at Wonderland, is excessive due to the poor service! The service at The Grand, was the worst of the 4 free venues. The Silk & Chic had the most mediocre meals onboard. There are no items in the Royal Cookbook offered on this vessel. The dining at the Pub is nothing impressive and should be free, for what is offered. The drink prices aboard are outrageous!!! The two hour boarding process is the second worst (1st being NCL Epic, Maiden Voyage) I have done and their new boarding process is pathetic! The employees & m

RELIES ON TOO MUCH ELECTRONICS. NOTHING WORKS OR IF IT DOES ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. DYNAMIC DINING RELIES TOO MUCH ON RESERVATIONS, WHICH NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE BOARDING OR ELSE YOU DON'T GET TO ENJOY THE RESTAURANTS OR SHOWS

dynamic dining wasn't dynamic, just difficult to make reservations. Enjoy dining at a specific time so that shows can be at a specific time. Don't like spending so much time to have fun. That food, however, was fabulous. IFly was only one minute--my husband and I didn't want to fly, but our time could not be given to our grandson Expected a celebration for this departure--nothing, no music, no celebrities, no confetti, nothing to say this was special elevators were out of service often although we were assured that tech stuff would be available for Android when we boarded (multiple times) it was not. Will not cruise on any Quantum or Oasis ships again because of the Dynamic dining

This cruise made me a believer, believe I won't be back!

ship is big, so therefor never enough elevators

Had a great time, met so many amazing people. My cabin steward was wonderful as well as the wait staff in the main dining room

Ports were Sitka, Skagway, Juneau and Victoria BC. Did the Best of Sitka tour with visits to the Raptor Center and Fortress of the Bear which were both amazing. Very informative and educational tour. Also visited the Sitka National Historical Park where we walked around and saw the salmon in the creek. We booked locally instead of through the cruise line using this AP with no issues. Skagway we toured on our own, did whale watching in Juneau and toured BC on our own.

To provide context for my review, this marks our ninth cruise with Royal Caribbean and our twenty-eighth cruise overall. We had previously sailed on Anthem of the Seas in 2016, which made us familiar with the ship's layout. This journey also represents our second cruise through the Alaskan Inside Passage, although it is our first experience departing from the port of Seattle. Our last Alaskan cruise was in 2007 with Celebrity. We chose this particular cruise because Card Player Cruises organized a special poker event during the voyage. They established a dedicated poker room in the Conference Center, offering daily tournaments and cash games. While my wife participated in the poker activities each day, I opted not to join as I do not play poker. We dined with other participants daily at 5 PM and engaged in various activities with the group both on and off the ship.

Loved loved loved it. Would go again, the staff was amazing. The food was good. Great experience

The views on this cruise were breathtaking!! Loved visiting Sitka, Skagway and Juneau.

This was a great cruise when you do excursions that get you into the area more. We enjoy Royal Caribbean because of the live entertainment all over the ship.

the cruise as very good with lots of scenery. the ship was easy to navigate and the staff was great. the stops were fun but there were too many seasonal jewelry stores when i was hoping to see more local shops with local products. to see the area and more of the culture, we should have done more excursions but time is limited at stops. the main dinning room was fun but make sure to make early reservations. overall, a great experience on wonderful ship.

We enjoyed spending time with our grandkids, son and daughter-in-law. The casino was fun.
