A very entertaining band is playing in 270

That's it for today my friends! Tomorrow we arrive in St. Maarten and spending the day at the Holland House hotel and their beach, organized by Bill and Rosie!

Thanks for tuning in everyone! :)

Loving the review. Just one question, how did you get from Statan Island to NJ? Did you rent a car because I think that would be one heck of a cab fare!:) Also, how close is that deli to the city? I will be in NYC in a couple of weeks, and might make the trip to NJ for that lovely looking food if it's not too far!!

Thanks again.

We took a limo service from the hotel to the port. The Bayonne Bridge was open so it wasn't a long ride from the hotel.

Harold's Deli is in Edison off 514 just south of where 440 junctions with the Jersey Turnpike. From our hotel it was about a 15 minute drive.

Does the Holland House have day passes, or did you have to rent rooms to use the property? I'll be there on 3 future cruises, and I'm looking for something different. Edited April 17, 2015 by gaylemh

Oh, I just love Harold's! I'm from Missouri, but my husband is from New Jersey and once in a while if our flight out gives us time for lunch, we'll stop at Harold's on the way back to Newark Airport since it's on the way.

I can't believe I am just finding this review today! You are doing an awesome job, Chris, as usual! :D

DH and I did make a day trip to Port Canaveral to see Quantum on one of her port stops there. She really is a beautiful ship. I am glad you are doing this review so I get to see her from the inside through your eyes! :cool:

I will be following along for the rest of your sailing. Thank you for sharing your cruise with all of us reading along with you from our homes.

I love that sail into the port of San Juan. It's beautiful.

Chris, do u (or any one else on this cruise) happen to know if Reyno is the Concierge or if Junior is Exec. Sous Chef? If u don't know off the top of your head, please don't go to any effort to find out. Thanks

[quote name='RoamingRetirees']Not as hard as if you make your own reservations and have to keep track of a different time each day too. :D[/QUOTE]

Not really, it's on the TV in your room?

[B]Good morning friends and welcome to day six of LIVE from Quantum of the Seas! It's kind of an overcast morning and we are just under 2 hours from docking in St. Maarten. Joining friends for a day at the beach at the Holland House Hotel organized by my dear friends Bill and Rosie! I know some have asked about what kind of day passes the hotel offers and I will find that out for you all today.

Here is a link to the hotel as well:

Stay tuned as the day gets underway! :)[/B]

I was responding to someone who said it would be hard to remember where you were eating under Classic Dining. I was merely saying it would be harder with DD. It was a joke. I'm sure they are both on the TV.

[BugsyCruiser]

Our cruise director Dru asked if he could have a pink fedora and said he would proudly wear it if we came through on his request.

 

I am happy to report that Polly and Patrick from our roll call and proud members of the Pink Boa Cruisers delivered!

 

 

 

:D

No I won't be buying one... ;)

 

 

Breakfast is always a treat in the stunning 270

Enjoying the report. Quantum looks like a wonderful ship.

Mario Reyes & Filip Mirkovic are the concierges in the Concierge lounge now - not sure of the Diamond Loungr

[BugsyCruiser]

As we are coming into St. Maarten some rain approaches

 

 

 

 

Definitely a heavy downpour as we get closer

We are approaching the pier

 

 

Quantum is now getting ready to back up to dock

 

 

The good news is the rain is clearing out and the skys are improving. I'd say the beach day is still on!

 

Be back later my friends! :)
