Royal Caribbean cruise ship, the Quantum of the Seas. It is the lead ship of the Quantum-class and was the third largest cruise ship when it was delivered in 2014. The ship currently serves the Alaska cruise market. Its top features are the North Star (adult-only solarium), Dynamic Dining and Skydiving.
North Star
Quantum of the Seas offers guests the opportunity to enjoy a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding world with the North Star. This glass capsule can be found at the top of the deck. It is attached to an arm that can lift and lower it up or down to 300 feet above sealevel. It rotates 360°, giving passengers a 360 degree view of the ship. Its design reminds me of the London Eye Ferris wheel.
The North Star is capable of holding up to 14 passengers as well as a wheelchair person. While it can extend above the sideboard of the ship on sea day, it cannot extend over the sideboard of the vessel during port. During bad weather, crew members will close the pod and limit its range of movement. Although reservations are suggested for the ride they are not required.
Skydiving
The iFly simulator allows passengers experience freefall and weightlessness within a glass flight area. The simulator is located at Deck 16 and allows passengers to experience the thrills of freefall. You can either take the class as a couple or separately. The instructor will explain the basics and guide passengers through the experience. The experience is enjoyable for the whole family, and it is available on all Quantum class ships.
The Quantum of the Seas is offering a new perspective on the ocean. There are 16 decks on the ship and 2090-cabins. Below is a video that shows the entertainment options available and the view from the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It also addresses some of the ship’s weaknesses.
The solarium is for adults only
Royal Caribbean ships feature an adult-only area with a solarium, hot tub and lounge chairs. Quantum and Oasis classes have the largest sunrios. Although the Harmony of the Seas has no adult-only solarium it does have a walkthrough mister which sprays water into the swimming pool.
Quantum of the Seas is the newest Royal Caribbean ship. It features an Adult-Only Solarium. This space has two decks and a glass roof. It has a thalassotherapy spa, four large Jacuzzis, as well one large circular swimming pool. The Solarium also features a lounge with complimentary drinks and light snacks.
Dynamic Dining
Dynamic Dining by Quantum of the Seas is an innovative new way to dine on the ocean. This new dining option gives guests greater control over when, where, and with whom they dine. You can book reservations for any restaurant event up to a year in advance. Royal Caribbean can coordinate group reservations.
Guests can select any of four dining rooms on Quantum of the Seas, which feature rotating menus. The Dynamic Dining concept was originally a concept introduced by Disney Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line. It was not popular and will be discontinued by Anthem in November 2016. The original concept was four separate dining rooms, each with a different cuisine. However, the rotational system evolved. On a nightly schedule, table mates moved through the restaurants.
Mamma Mia!
A new musical based on the songs of Swedish pop sensation ABBA will debut on the Quantum of the Seas later this year. The show will be performed live on stage. It will include hits from ABBA, as well other artists. You can expect amazing costumes and funny hijinks.
Mamma Mia! is being performed in the ship’s main theater. The cast of the musical will star. The show will feature songs of the ABBA repertoire, including Super Trouper as well as Dancing Queen and Super Trouper. It will also feature members of the Dynamos Ensemble and a live wedding. The set design and minimal technology allow the performers to shine.

How To
How to avoid becoming seasick during a cruise
Wearing a hat on a cruise will help you avoid getting seasick. A wide-brimmed cap helps to prevent motion sickness by keeping your head from moving too much.
Also, a hat helps keep water off your face, which reduces the humidity. This allows people who are prone to dizziness from inhaling moist air to breathe more easily.
Another tip is to drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the liver, causing fluid to pool in the stomach. A sufficient amount of liquids will reduce salt levels. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead to nausea.
Salty foods can help if you feel nauseated. Salty foods can cause your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acids, which aids in breaking down food particles.
These tips may not work. There are other medications that can be used to treat seasickness. You should be aware that side effects can include dry mouth and constipation as well as headaches.
