LIVE from Quantum of the Seas, sailing April 12th!

[quote name='readytolose']I can't believe its day 5 already!

I'm curious if the pools/pool decks seem crowded to you. I've been going back and forth between booking Anthem or one of the Oasis class shops again but we like to spend a lot of time by the pool. It seems the Quantum class has much less pool space.

Thanks for taking your vacation time to answer all of our questions. It's very appreciated![/QUOTE]
I would say the pool decks tend to be much more crowded on Quantum than Oasis class.

It's day 5 but still got 7 to go :)

Thank for this fabulous review, Chris. I spent 18 days on Quantum in January and will not hesitate to book Anthem when she comes to NJ. How do you like your solo cabin? Regards. Katherine

Wow. 18 days! I've never taken longer than a 7 nighter so next month having 12 nights on Anthem will be incomprehensible! I'm already thinking-" how am I going to be able to eat all this food? I want to try EVERYTHJNG" LOL. Maybe I should work my way up to it before the cruise.

Chris, can't say enough how meaningful your rapid responses and real time pics are. This makes me salivate for my next cruise.

Thanks --this is likely the answer for me;-)

I have been pleasantly surprised by the studio balcony. The cabin has more room than I thought it would and the larger hump balcony more than makes up for any space lost in the cabin

[quote name='RoamingRetirees']I don't think it could be on the Cruise Compass because everyone couldn't be in the same dining room each night. You will probably receive a notice in your stateroom telling you which restaurant and which table. We signed up for Classic Dining on the Harmony TA next year. A whole lot easier than making 53 individual reservations on Quantum.[/QUOTE]

I can just see the confusion with the rotation dining......:rolleyes::D:eek: Luckily there are not a ton of dining spots if you go to the wrong one........it needs to be simple--- to know what day it is, even that is hard sometimes and then where you should be for dinner on that day.

I wondered what ship it was too Gambee. I don't think it's a Navy destroyer though

Not as hard as if you make your own reservations and have to keep track of a different time each day too. :D

Glad to see things have settled down enough for Capt Srecko to start smiling! He was very weary on our Nov 23 Inaugural cruise! Can you find out who is going to relieve him when he goes home for vacation in a month or so? Capt Sorensen has gone back to Adventure and Capt Gus is already on Anthem.

Gosh, theses are great pics. Love sailing into San Juan past the Fort.

Have a great time!

The pastries at Mallorca Bakery are good

The streets of San Juan have colorful buildings but are crowded and narrow

Loving your live Chris, but you're killing me with the picture of that Mallorca. I need a San Juan fix now! Wish I was there with my pink boa! :):p

Awaiting sailaway, I snapped a few pics on the pool deck

A friendly game of soccer is taking place in the Sea Plex
