Phamer55 Posted February 29 #1 Share Posted February 29 This was quite the surprise to see that Quantum of the Seas is coming to Los Angeles to do short cruises. I just booked myself a 3 day weekend cruise in 2025. I love this class of ship!! I'm not bothered that it only goes to Ensenada on my cruise, I'll still get off the ship to enjoy a delicious Mexican lunch at my favorite restaurant there, it's all about enjoying the ship for a few days. Anyone else excited about this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanrod Posted February 29 #2 Share Posted February 29 We are very excited to see we are getting another ship on the west coast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising89143 Posted February 29 #5 Share Posted February 29 The itineraries leave a lot to be desired. Also, the prices are ridiculous based on the itineraries. Give me the NV any day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted February 29 #6 Share Posted February 29 The dates make them completely undesirable to me. Short cruises primarily over weekdays. Ugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted February 29 #7 Share Posted February 29 Along with the one night, They have a two night over night in Cabo listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fungirl28 Posted February 29 #9 Share Posted February 29 I'm excited! Whenever I take a cruise from LA to Mexico, I am only there for the ship. I look forward to booking! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 29 #10 Share Posted February 29 Royal is taking newer ships on shorter itineraries to a all new level. Even I'm surprised and didnt thjnk royal could surprise. Too short. Waste of a nice new ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seeing cheaper rates for west coast residents? Not referring to rates when it comes to choosing. I will take the NV over the QN when it comes to the two ships. Plus the NV offers seven night cruises that does the traditional MR and the QN does not. Ensenada leaves a lot to be desired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal is simply taking advantage of this current situation. The article also stated that the shorter cruises worked out better financially for Royal.

East coast ships goto Coco Cay where they siphon money out of cruisers wallets, without burning a lot of fuel doing it. they have to figure out how to more Oasis class ships with the existing terminals. THis year they had freedom class doing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for all those complaining about the larger ships like Oasis class doing the shorter cruises, we read the same complaints right here on CC when the Voyager and Freedom class moved to the three and four day itineraries.

neverbeenhere Posted February 29 #15 Share Posted February 29 I’m hoping the Quantum and Navigator drive some really cheap quicky cruises worth the flight for a weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will. They’re always practically giving away Navigator sailings. A lot of times they’re half the price of similar Bahamas sailings from Florida. Now they doubled the capacity.

We cruise on the NV multiple times a year and I can assure you the prices are not cheap. We all know that you have think Royal has hit rock bottom so some of us aren’t buying your stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love LA cruises, it’s just a fact it’s not historically been a market that Royal has been able to penetrate. I would, and have, taken advantage of the lower rates out of CA.

Blizzard54 Posted March 1 #21 Share Posted March 1 I would hope that if they are going to have 2 ships in LA they would put one of them on a regular 7-night schedule. As mentioned, Ensenada does not have much to offer. They need 7 nights to get in Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYCruise Posted March 1 #22 Share Posted March 1 Quantum has a what looks to be a 3 week dry dock in October in Singapore. It will be interesting to see if they make any changes like removing Chinese language signage and the noodle bar, now that it's sailing from the US year-round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
