Amazing new technology just revealed about the Quantum

They're going to have robotic bartenders on board (I assume just one bar) You can electronically enter your drink you want, and it will make it and serve it to you.....here's the video on it

Richard Fain also announced today that he will be giving EVERY employee of Royal Caribbean......about 40,000 of them !!! He says this way they can keep in touch with family members while being away from them. The Quantum is going to have super fast internet that will allow Skype......Facetime ....etc for both the crew and the passengers.

He also talked about that new entertainment space (Two70).....it will have six 100" robotic TV's that can move all around creating different effects. Apparently all the windows in that area are able to be like video screens where the walls can be like an aquarium with fish swimming around......or they can make the are into like a cityscape of New York City or something like that......truly amazing

This is just a part of what was revealed today.........OMG !!!!!!!

Looks good Thanks for links

Will the robot bartenders have slots so we have to tip in advance???

LOL...and I was thinking a robot bartender would serve cheaper drinks..no tip needed!

here here I said the same thing :)

They will serve precisely measured drinks, not the free pours that made some bartenders very popular and got them bigger tips. :(

For some reason, I feel like that will be one thing their IT department won't know how to take off...

I wonder how long the robot bar will be open before it breaks down.....;)

Seems gimmicky to me.

What is he giving to each RCCL employee?

a tablet..

If no one uses the robotic bars, it won't be long before they're gone.

Hmmm - so I can't say "put a bit more tonic in that, please"....:rolleyes:

I just can't see this lasting very long.

It might be for those with a drink package only.

Not sure we will stick the Diamond drinks voucher

Before they spend time and money on robot bartenders and other worthless tech they should work on a website and reservation system that works:rolleyes: With their track record on technology, I'd probably order a rum and coke and by the time received, it would be cancelled, re-ordered, re-priced, and show up a hot chocolate..........

He said you can get the robots to tailor your drink, so if you want a little more of something in it, you can order that. Can't wait to order from a robot - what a bizarre feeling that will be. So excited about the whole cruise. It will be a cruise experience like no other !

This is great! :D

With all that expensive tech stuff, look forward to $20 Cokes and $5 cookies - NO more free nothin. They gotta pay for it somehow....

Here's one part of the email I just got:

Blazing internet connectivity speeds let you post to Facebook, Tweet, stream Netflix, play Xbox Live with gamers worldwide and more.

Netflix, really?!? On a cruise!?! I can do that at home!!!

You know guys there is always Carnival which pretty much doesn't innovate at all. Same ships, nothing new just the same o same o.

I think its cool they are thinking outside the box.....JMHO

As I understand it, robot bartenders will be in only one bar(lounge) on the ship and will be more of a novelty than anything else, and will have a certain entertainment value. In some ways it isn't much different from the Ice Bar on Epic and hardly anything to get worked up about. Even the video that includes info on the robot bartenders placed much more emphasis on the personal interaction with the ship's staff that makes sailing on RCI so special.

It's a different world now.:eek:

That'll teach me to not proof read, and then come back ages later.....

duh........as mentioned, he's giving every employee a tablet.....pretty amazing (and a very nice gesture)......to be honest with ya, it'll be interesting to see what kind of "book" they'll have to sign in order to receive one......it'll have probably 100 different things you can and can't do with it........OR ELSE :eek:

I totally agree but we can still choose not to use that kind of stuff. This just allows RCI to market itself to a broader market to those who can't peel themselves away...literally.

I'm a 30-something and I love technology. I love netflix, facebook, instagram etc but on a cruise I love being cut off and just accessing technology if I choose to. People should be socialising with friends and family and other guests not heads buried into their screens. We can do all the teccy stuff at home
