Royal Caribbean’s New Quantum of the Seas Introduces 8 Mind Blowing Innovative Features

Quantum of the Seas is the first of a brand new class of ships being launched by Royal Caribbean International starting in November of 2014. They are going for the WOW factor–and it appears they have achieved it.

Royal Caribbean International has revolutionized the experience of cruising and has raised the bar for other cruise lines. Crown and Anchor members* had the first chance to book beginning May 27, while bookings opened to the general public on June 4. This 4,180-passenger ship, (which is smaller than the Oasis-class ships with a max. of 6,296 passengers) will launch in November 2014 from New York Harbor. A CruiseExperts.com agent can help you reserve a cabin.

*You can enroll anytime as a Crown and Anchor member as long as you’ve completed an RCCL cruise with a qualifying cruise fare.

8 Amazing New Features:

1.  Family-connected staterooms. Now you’ll be able to connect three different staterooms to form one large shared space. That means three bathrooms in one space—if you’re traveling with a big family or group—this is a GOOD thing!

2.  Studio staterooms with balconies. Single travelers can now enjoy all the benefits of double-occupancy balcony cabins. These cabins are 119 sq. ft. with a 55 sq. ft. balcony. No single supplement required!

3.  Virtual balconies. All inside cabins will have an 80” Hi-Def. floor-to-ceiling real-time video view of the ocean and ports complete with the appearance of a balcony.  The standard inside rooms range from 166-187 sq. ft., while a 101 sq. ft. single studio is available with no single supplement required.

4.  Bigger cabins. In general, all cabins on this new class of ship will be 9% bigger and feature USB outlets, more storage space and multifunctional furniture. Ocean view cabins range from 182-302 sq. ft.  While balcony cabins range from 177-198 sq. ft. with balconies that range from 55-119 sq. ft. Suites start with a Junior suite at 267 sq. ft. and an 81 sq. ft. balcony and go all the way up to a Royal Loft Suite with 1,640 sq. ft. and three balconies–main level balcony 415 sq. ft., main level side balcony 109 sq. ft. and upper level side balcony 89 sq. ft. WOW!

5.  RipCord by iFly. If you’re an adrenalin addict, this first ever simulated skydiving experience at sea is just for you. This experience is free of charge to guests on the ship!

6.  North Star. For a completely unique perspective don’t miss this glass capsule that rises 300 feet above sea level and gives a 360-degree view over the edge of the ship. Up to 14 people at a time can have this 15-minute experience, which is free to guests. This sounds like a great place for a proposal, wedding or any special moment. Special packages are sold in advance so you can reserve your spot.

7.  Seaplex. This is the largest sports and entertainment center at sea. The area evolves throughout the day to create different experiences from bumper cars to roller skating, a circus school with trapeze lessons to table tennis and dancing.

8.  The Two70  is a 270-degree open area multi-purpose room. During the day, it is a large lounge with a 270-degree panoramic view. At night, the room transforms into an entertainment venue featuring live productions with spectacular light shows as the windows become digital scenery.
