CapitalKyle Posted August 13, 2014 #3028 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Here is a port side view with two lifeboats and the fast rescue boat already secured. Photo credit goes to Jannes Wessels. That is one long ship! Just beautiful. I feel like I can definitely see the Solstice-class influences in her shape and I love it. I happen to think the Solstice-class are the most beautiful ships at sea. At least until now! Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare whitshel Posted August 13, 2014 #3033 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Ok what a great looking ship. I have a few questions for the experts 1. It looked like the roof of the solarium is not see through? Did anyone else notice this or is there maybe a protective covering on it? 2. On the side of 270 there is an area of either no windows or they are covered, anyone know what this area is? Kinda weird looking.... 3. Looking at the RCCL websie about the Quantum facts it states about the pools: *Full-service VitalitySM Spa *State-of-the-art Fitness Center *220-foot outdoor, poolside movie screen *Adults-only Solarium pool, a glass-canopied retreat* *Indoor pool with retractable roof *Whirlpools It says the solarium pool is adults only but it doesn't say that about the indoor pool, so will the indoor pool be for everyone? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted August 13, 2014 #3034 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Ok what a great looking ship. I have a few questions for the experts 1. It looked like the roof of the solarium is not see through? Did anyone else notice this or is there maybe a protective covering on it? I did notice that. All of the renderings of Quantum show it as clear glass so I'm thinking it is a covering. 2. On the side of 270 there is an area of either no windows or they are covered, anyone know what this area is? Kinda weird looking.... Not sure about this. 3. Looking at the RCCL websie about the Quantum facts it states about the pools: *Full-service VitalitySM Spa *State-of-the-art Fitness Center *220-foot outdoor, poolside movie screen *Adults-only Solarium pool, a glass-canopied retreat* *Indoor pool with retractable roof *Whirlpools It says the solarium pool is adults only but it doesn't say that about the indoor pool, so will the indoor pool be for everyone? Just curious... Yes, I think there is both. The Solarium is far forward, while the indoor pool will be under where the North Star will be. Some answers above.

There are 3 pools, 2 of which are indoor: 1 Outdoor pool for everyone. 1 Indoor pool for everyone. 1 Indoor pool in the Solarium for 16 and up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious... Well... #1 you answered yourself with an asterix under #3. "Adults-only Solarium pool, a glass-canopied retreat" Yes it is glass. It's dirty/covered for protection. A lot of the glass of the ship is still covered with protective film, including some 270 glass panels. That is why they appear to be different colors. #2...Most likely bathrooms. #3. Solarium is the only adult only pool. Great thing with this ship is the Retractable indoor pool for everyone. This means that even if it's raining, the Solarium should remain adult only. Everyone wins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 pools, 2 of which are indoor:1 Outdoor pool for everyone. 1 Indoor pool for everyone. 1 Indoor pool in the Solarium for 16 and up I believe there is a 4th area as well, an H2O zone outside on the other side of the TV from the outdoor pool.

True, the H2O Zone usually includes a small pool or two for the kiddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap, I'm going to be doing some serious walking from our cabin to the back of the ship. WOW:eek: Wonder if they supply segways??
