Note that this is not the actual live review but a preview.

 

Hello friends! In just 5 weeks I will be sailing on Quantum of the Seas and here is a preview of my next LIVE to start on April 9th! I'm long overdue for a cruise and a live review since my last one took place nearly a year ago aboard Allure of the Seas! This thread will be a preview and a look into my next live as I am getting very excited about once again hitting the sea for a 12 night adventure!

 

My first ever LIVE from a cruise longer than a week!

 

There will be some changes made to this live which will be explained as we go along. Why I am starting the preview so early? Because:

 

1. I'm excited!

2. This will hopefully help avoid having to give a long drawn out explanation of things on the actual "live" thread

3. This will also give all of you the opportunity to let me know anything you would like to specifically see on board and during the course of this cruise

 

This sailing will take on a special meaning to me as this will be Quantum's second to last second before she heads for China. This will be my only chance to experience the first ship in the Quantum Class lineup.

 

This will be not only a review but also a preview of sorts of the next ship, Anthem, as I imagine they will be pretty similar. This will also be a review of 3 new ports for me: Martinique, Barbados, and St. Kitts and also a chance for everyone to travel along with my friends and I, people from the MONSTER of a roll call we had, which is now on PART 5!

 

I booked this cruise the first day bookings started which is was on May 28th, 2013 and started the roll call for it 2 weeks before we were even able to book!

 

In this thread I will preview the camera equipment I will be using, my dining and entertainment schedule, and any other things I can think of before I sail away on Quantum!

 

So join me for the fun, and let me know any questions or things you would like to see on this cruise. Stay tuned for more info on this preview to LIVE from Quantum of the Seas!

 

In just 5 weeks, the adventure begins....

I think one of the easiest things to cover right off the bat will be the camera equipment. A big thanks goes out to Gambee for his love of cameras and expert opinion in this field. I am excited to once again be using Sony equipment for this cruise. First off will be:

The Sony a6000. I am very impressed with how quick the focus is on this camera and it has turned out some excellent photos. I might show a couple here just to give everyone an idea of the quality

 

Second off will be my newest addition:

 

pSNYNA-DSCRX100M3B_main_v500_zpsouhfw2lf.png

 

The Sony RX100 mark 3 or also known as the point and shoot monster. Lots of people and reviewers have raved about this camera so I am eager to try and out.

 

And finally what may be my go to camera on embarkation day:

My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone which turns out some pretty good photos and makes posting to the thread via Tapatalk quick and easy :)

Welcome back, Chris. It seems like forever since you originally posted that you had booked this sailing and it's finally almost here! 12 nights aboard should give you a chance to experience at least most of what this class of ships is offering. Also, can't wait to see what that new Sony point-n-shoot can do.:)

 

I'll be following. Thanks so much for doing all of this for your fellow CC'rs.
