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

Chris, so how are the drink prices so far? How much were those chocolate martinis?

 

Also, you mentioned having to go to shore excursions to book Labadee cabanas. Are we unable to book them in advance now?

The prices went up Yael. Those martinis were 15 a piece.

 

The cabanas can only be reserved on board now I guess they did away with advance reservations

Thanks for the info, Chris. $15 for a choc martini? Royal has lost their natural mind! :eek:

Loving it Chris! Wow...the royal esplanade is amazing! Looks like a mall. Was thinking our next cruise would be on Allure (haven't tried Oasis class yet) but maybe Quantum!!

Chris, You are doing a fantastic job here!! It's the best I've ever read. Glad to see that there are some chairs with arms (DH can't get out of a chair with no arms due to so many leg surgeries). Thanks again for "taking us with you". :)

Thanks for the posts and photos, we are really enjoying it.

This ship is amazing, so gorgeous and the food looks soooo delicious.

We are in trouble, looking forward to our cruise next week.

Someone mentioned chocolate martinis for $15. Are those included in the ultimate drink package? What about those specialty drinks in Icon like the Old Fashoned ? Any of those included? For $12/each it won't take many of them to make the drink package well worth it

A $15 drink would be above the $12 limit of the Ultimate package, and a $3 difference (+18%) would have to be paid.

Great pics -

 

Here's a tip, head to the back of Windjammer, the way back, and there is the omelet station where they make them to order, as well as the outside deck that is barely used. I didn't realize the omelet station was there until the last 2 days of my cruise.
