PICTURE REVIEW – Quantum of the Seas 2 Day Sampler

[steamboats]

I was just on the Breakaway, a ship reputed to be of only average intelligence, and it had a really cool light system where you flicked switches inside the cabin that lit either a red light (DND) or a green light (make up room).

 

NCL has various systems on their ships. On some ships there´s sort of a tiny "wheel" which is turned on "welcome" when you board. The other options are "Do not disturb" and "Make up cabin". I think on the Breakaway/Getaway those lights are also connected with a switchboard in the housekeeping room so the cabin steward can see which cabin is empty.

Karmacats - Look what I found when I was unpacking

 

 

woo hoo! thank you! just the info i was looking for. i didn't realize the regular room service menu would also be complementary - that's an extra added bonus.

 

everyone's so up in arms about the $5 per item room service charges, i bet i could clean up with black market room service orders. ("pssst, buddy, give me two bucks an item and i'll order them for you from my suite.") :p

 

(just kidding, of course. and i totally think the room service charges are bogus and should be eliminated for everyone, except the usual late-night charge. but for some reason i'm picturing suite guests standing on the hallway corners in trench coats filled with illicit gourmet burgers.)

 

hope you have a great thanksgiving!

1 thing I forgot - The internet pricing was not thought out well. Premium plus for 2 days - $59.05 with Diamond plus coupon or 2 daily plans for free. We chose 2 daily plans

Hahahahahaha! I just started laughing so hard my DH is looking at me like i'm crazy.

 

I hope that's an autocorrect

 

There's an earlier post in this thread where the "seaplex" posted as "sexplex." That one was an accident. This one was on purpose, I suspect. :eek:

[Freedale]

Thank you so much for the review and photos. Originally, I wasn't particularly interested in Quantum, you have given me cause for a serious rethink. Loved your Oasis review as well. Diane

The entrance to vintages has the same steel design the twin towers used to have. Obviously, it's not steel on the ship but the design is cool.

Don't be greedy you guys in Florida have enough learn to share!

 

Yea! What he/she said!!

 

I must give RC credit, it seems they really went out on a limb with this one. I will probably try it some day but I have a feeling the Freedom class will remain my favorite forever lol. Great review!!!

Hi Ken or anyone,

Can passengers serve themselves wine from these machines by swiping their card or something? I suppose I will find out in just 3 short weeks, but hope someone will chime in.

Yes. It was not intuitive (at least to me!), each cabinet holds 4 bottles and there are 4 illuminated options. You hold your card against the left option and then press the glass size you want, above the wine you want.

Guess what we will cover next...yep SEAPLEX and Deck 15...

 

This very active deck has so much to do that you could spend all day here and never do one thing twice...see the next post for all that it has to offer...meantime check out the layout and some pics of the first Bumper Cars at sea from cruiser Kcjarvis

 

One thing to keep in mind is that the actual Seaplex area is a multipurpose area used for a variety of things bumper cars, basketball, roller skating, the circus trapeze area so keep track of thinks in your compass as everything is not available every day all day...

Why would anyone get 6 oz of wine for $12 when they can get 2 4 oz glasses for the same price?
