Elizanessie Posted October 26, 2014 #176 Share Posted October 26, 2014 With regards to the Concierge Lounge, I had an email this week from my Rep at RCCL who was able to confirm that yes Diamond Plus members will have access to the CL on Quantum of the seas.

DKNYC Posted October 26, 2014 #177 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks so much Hoopster95 I have subscribed to the thread you linked to above. So far it's kind of what I thought. I listened to the Dining Google hangout a few months ago and even Adam Goldstein saw no issues here when Emmy asked basically this same question. I have only ever had to talk to the maitre D once before (when I wanted off of an undesirable table). I had a dream/high school dance flashback about the "Pick a Solo cruiser tablemate room". 😞 Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketlady Posted October 26, 2014 #179 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I would like to have pictures of the single rooms. My sister has one in Jan. sailing. I am afraid it will be a closet. Pictures of the track. Is it sorta separated from the public . Meaning only runners and walkers will be allowed on it. Or will we have to keep dodging in and out .

Aerial pictures of the ship show the track is pretty much the same as on any other ship going through the area for deck chairs above the pool deck.

doraohio Posted October 26, 2014 #184 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hello everyone! We are the Quantum Live Reporters who will be on the Maiden Transatlantic Voyage from Southampton, England to Cape Liberty, NJ on Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas (November 2 through November 10). Hard to believe that we’ll be on this beautiful new ship in just TWO WEEKS! We will use this thread as our Live Reporting thread, so please subscribe to it. We know that new ships cause a flurry of excitement, and we’re so happy to be some of the first passengers to share all that Quantum of the Seas has to offer. We assembled from our Roll Call because we knew that it would take a small army to cover all that is Quantum of the Seas. We will take a lot of photos, and if you’re on our sailing, and would like to join us, just post to our Roll Call, and we’ll be in touch. Leading up to our November 2 voyage, we will be counting down toward our cruise date by posting recaps on the many exciting WOWs that Quantum of the Seas as to offer, and also we’ll share more about us as we all bring a little different perspective to how we each approach cruising. Our Roll Call also has 12 events planned over the eight day sailing, including a Flash Mob proposal, a Bumper Car launch and a Masquerade Dinner at The Grande. We’re going to have a lot of fun! We look forward to your comments, questions and feedback to make this the BEST Live Report on Cruise Critic yet!

jmf123 Posted October 26, 2014 #187 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thank you Quantum Live Reporters! I have really enjoyed following the building of awesome Quantum, and can't wait to see and learn more! One of my best friends and her DH are on the 11/2 sailing. The ship info and photos are the only thing presently getting her through a very stressful time at work- until they leave for London this week. I will be cruising vicariously through all of you! Bon Voyage! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv_nyc Posted October 27, 2014 Author #192 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks everyone! Here's the list so far sorted by CC username - can't wait to be able to start answering questions! Bugsy4271 -Q- Would love to see pictures of a studio balcony if you can get some. I have one on my April 12th sailing and although I've seen a few preview photos on websites, it would be neat to see the "finished" product. -A- TBD DKNYC -Q- I usually travel solo and was wondering how a solo showing up at a DD complementary restaurant would be seated. I assume I would be asked if I wanted to share a table or prefer to eat alone. -A- TBD gumbocc1009 -Q- Robotic Bartenders - how do they know the requestor is of drinking age? -A- TBD gumbocc1009 -Q- Circus School - how to sign up? -A- TBD gumbocc1009 -Q- Menus - Do the complementary restaurants have any "specials" or is it the same (posted) menu every night? Is there a generic "available everywhere" menu? What's on the kids menu (or does it vary by dining room)? -A- TBD gumbocc1009 -Q- Michael's Pub Pricing - Am hoping to get an idea of the a la carte pricing at the Pub (for food and for beer). -A- TBD "iceburg1 -Q- I would like to know the schedule for seaplex and especially the open times for bumper cars. I know that they have basketball, roller skating, circus training and bumper cars there and was wondering how much time they have for the bumper cars -A- TBD iceburg1 -Q- Internet - are the speeds as fast as promised? -A- TBD mikat77 -Q- any info about Adventure Ocean / activities / how they will deal with children checking in for dining now that there is no set dining time. -A- TBD Nhsaltshaker -Q- New Room Service Menu -A- TBD Offline -Q- Would you mind asking on Quantum what additional options are offered for vegetarians? -A- TBD Offline -Q- Do the alternate menus as mentioned by Adam actually exist and if so what is on them. -A- TBD Offline -Q- Can you substitute side dishes on the menu items. I often wind up asking for rice or a baked potato as a substitute to the starch offered with a lot of items in the MDR.. -A- TBD Offline -Q- Do they operate North Star while at sea? -A- TBD pmkejk -Q- Will you please check to see if the Diamond Plus coupon for buy one get one free for the first night can be used to dine in Wonderland. -A- TBD pmkejk -Q- Will Diamond plus members be allowed in the concierge lounge (don't know if they are making changes to the policy on the Quantum. -A- TBD Rocketlady -Q- I would like to have pictures of the single rooms. My sister has one in Jan. sailing. I am afraid it will be a closet. -A- TBD Rocketlady -Q- Pictures of the track. Is it sorta separated from the public . Meaning only runners and walkers will be allowed on it. Or will we have to keep dodging in and out . -A- TBD SailingSiggy -Q- Like to know how they handle northstar. Do people sign up for a time slot, is it totally just a wait in line as the zipline on Oasis class? What type of hours of operation do they run northstar (day and night)? -A- TBD TheresaN -Q- What about internet packages? -A- TBD Treacher1 -Q- Superior Grand Suite on corner of hump facing - These cabins are on the front side of the hump - advertised as wrap around balconies with 2 sliding glass doors and a large port hole on side wall - pics seen so far show 2 dividers at corner which totally block view - if possible see if these dividers are removed so it is a full wrap around? -A- TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nenasmum Posted October 27, 2014 #193 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi We are going on "Anthem in June We would like to know the cost and availability of extra Ripcord sessions and if there is more than one free turn on a 14 day voyage. We would also like to know if you can "give " your session to another person in your cabin if you are less adventurous. Would also LOVE to see photos of the Restricted view Balcony cabins. Have a wonderful trip. Jennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clancy14 Posted October 27, 2014 #195 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi! Thanks for doing this! - One thing that would be nice is that on your roll call list with your screen names and real names, if you would be willing to list your cabin category. That way, we would be able to address our requests for cabin info/pictures etc. to a specific poster or someone who has volunteered to handle that category. Also, I'd like to find out where and when they are going to hold"Quest" , especially on longer (10, 11, 12) cruises. Thanks again for all the "Work" you're going to be doing! - Miriam ( 76 days away from my Quantum ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandE Posted October 27, 2014 #196 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Another question for the live reporters: What about internet packages? :-) Gesendet von meinem iPhone mit Forums .....and are the speeds as fast as promised?:) I normally use (or attempt to use, in some cases) the ship's internet all over the ship when we cruise. I write a travel blog, mostly as a journal to supplement my memory later but also for friends and family to know we're doing okay and what we're up to. So these questions are of particular interest to me, as well, and I'll definitely be reporting on it! :) Elayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny days Posted October 27, 2014 #197 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm wondering how hard it will be to change dinner reservations. We have ended up with lots of late times and were told "You can change it on board." Hmm..... wondering about that. I also would like to know if we are asked if we would like to share a table. We really want to eat with other people. We really enjoy making new friends which is one reason we aren't sure we are going to like dynamic dining. Thank you so much, Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv_nyc Posted October 27, 2014 Author #199 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hi All - here's a link to the Google sheet where I'm capturing your questions and our responses. I'll continue to copy and paste the combined Q&A column to this thread so that all readers are notified as questions are answered and not have to read the sheet. I'm just using the sheet to keep us organized. Google Sheet On the second tab, there's a sheet in progress of who's reporting on what. :) Thanks, Joanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
