Fred C Posted October 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Does anyone know if there will be a Royal Promenade on the Quantum? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicKen Posted October 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Fred, From what I've seen here on Cruise Critic, YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitaway4 Posted October 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2013 There is a Royal Promenade type thing on the ship. It is being called a "Royal Esplanade". What that means, well, like almost everything else, we have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianAlt Posted October 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2013 An esplanade is a long, open, level area, usually next to a river or large body of water, where people may walk. The original meaning of esplanade was a large, open, level area outside fortress or city walls to provide clear fields of fire for the fortress' guns. In modern usage the space allows people to walk for recreational purposes; esplanades are often on sea fronts, and allow walking whatever the state of the tide, without having to walk on the beach. Esplanade and Promenade are synonyms. But based on this definition, the shops will partially be outside? That could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overtyme Posted October 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Esplanade and Promenade are synonyms. But based on this definition, the shops will partially be outside? That could be interesting. I was thinking that could be cool, but then I was thinking that RCI sort of has this on the boardwalk on the Oasis class.

BrianAlt Posted October 9, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2013 And also with the storefronts in Central Park. Which leads to the idea of an open air mall even more! Could be on to something here... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkx Posted October 9, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2013 And also with the storefronts in Central Park. Which leads to the idea of an open air mall even more! Could be on to something here... :) It would be cool if it could maximise on that outdoor element ... But looking at the deck plans my only worry are the lifeboats that could obscure any sort of view and make it quite an artificial environment. The Solstice class have a similar design But it does buy into the whole concept of the ship being able to work in multiple environments ...

hydrojim Posted October 9, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I think the Royal Esplanade/Square/Promenade will look similar to this area of the RP on Oasis (less the Rising Tide bar). A two story area, possibly slightly more than two deck in height with the open area surrounded by bars & shops. It won't be as long as the Royal Promenade on other ships, more like a longer centrum. The shopping boulevard (hallway) will connect at the forward end leading to the main theater. The The shopping boulevard will feel open, having a two deck height with an overlook from the deck above to the shopping boulevard below, just like the Celebrity Solstice class ships which Quantum is based upon. It will get some natural light from the many windows on the boat deck (second level of the space), but nowhere near the amount of natural light as the Oasis class in the RP.

swim13 Posted October 9, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I kind of feel like nothing can beat the Royal Promenade on the Oasis class ships. It is just simply perfect! But I'm eager to see where this goes on the Quantum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianAlt Posted October 10, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have to say, I enjoy the speculation. It keeps the excitement going. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London-Calling Posted October 10, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 10, 2013 personally I do not think 'Quantum' will have a 'Royal Prom' as we know it. I think it will be more like a collection of shops and dining options like on-board any other modern ship, rather than a true 'internal 'street'. I could be wrong!

Lloyd555 Posted November 3, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 3, 2013 In the background, behind the Getaway, is the aft end of the Quantum under construction at Meyer Werft. The face of the build you see is the part of the ship where the middle hump starts. Anyhow, when I looked at it I thought "Hey! The hole down the middle is part of the promenade/esplanade/square in question". Obviously, we can't make out what it will look like. As the Quantum deck plans say... MORE TO COME. Deck 5 = the deck with the lifeboat support arm (on left side of build) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
