First Ship of New Class for Royal Caribbean

Papenburg, 28 October 2014 – Today in Bremerhaven MEYER WERFT delivered the 167,800-gt cruise ship Quantum of the Seas to the US cruise operator Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (Miami).

The first ship of the Quantum class sets new standards in terms of eco-friendliness. It features highly energy-efficient systems, optimised hydrodynamics, heat recovery, an effective underwater paint coating, a state-of-the-art exhaust gas treatment plant (hybrid scrubber) as well as energy-saving LED lighting systems.

Sophisticated alarm, safety and communication systems combined with the latest technology in propulsion and navigation are typical for Royal Caribbean cruise ships. The same high standard applies to entertainment and interiors.

The theatre is equipped with stage technology which has yet to find its peer ashore. Relax with a book at ”Two 70” and come back at night for a spectacular aerial show. The North Star on deck 17 allows the guests to travel in a glass gondola at a height of 90 m above sea level where they can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view. On deck 17 aft the RipCord simulates parachuting at sea both for beginners or seasoned parachuters. Surf aficionados may want to look for the perfect wave high above water level on the FlowRider on deck 16.

As to interiors, the Quantum leaves nothing to be desired. 4,180 guests can be accommodated in 2,090 cabins, and are taken care of by a crew of approx. 1,550. On board of the Quantum-class ships the traditional main restaurant has been replaced by dynamic dining, where the guests rotate in five different restaurants which are included in the cruise rate, and which offer a wide culinary variety. All told, the guests can choose from 18 restaurants on board, among them Jamie’s Italian, the first restaurant at sea of the British chef Jamie Oliver. Plenty of shops, bars, lounges and spacious spa and wellness areas as well as spectacular open-deck areas and facilities offer endless pastime opportunities. “Seaplex” features the largest indoor activity area at sea that offers entertainment like bumper cars, roller skating, a competition-size basketball court as well as a circus school.

The “Two70”° stretches from deck 4 to 6, a spacious area offering a 270-degree panoramic view of the sea. The “Two270°” combines entertainment and technology which allows the guests to travel smoothly from day to night.

Art lovers will appreciate impressive works of art, among them “From Afar”, a very special polar bear installed on deck 15 which consists of 1,430 metal triangles.

The Quantum of the Seas is another milestone by Royal Caribbean that will create a “wow” affect among its guests. The ship will depart from Bremerhaven to Southampton on 28 October 2014, from where she will set off to her Atlantic crossing on 2 November. The maiden voyage is scheduled for 23 November from New York (Cape Liberty) to the Bahamas.

Very nice.

[Lloyd555]

I suppose that when I get back from the cruise I will pose any photos of areas of the ship (not already posted!) in a new thread. They won't be construction/build photos, but the finished product after all. :rolleyes:

Any ideas for a new thread name?

[Pomperaugrr]

Welcome to Quantum of the Seas!!! Special thanks to Lloyd and MasterSchnief and everyone else for all of the great photos. I remember starting this thread when the first blocks arrived at Meyer Werft. So many of you kept this going and provided amazing details and photos. I never expected this to go over 4,300 posts!

 

Quantum is now officially in the RCI family!

Thank you so much MasterSchnief and the rest of the "crew" (including the Minions) for contributing to the delinquency of this newly minted Ship Nerd. I an sitting here at my desk shedding a few tears. About to go sign up for the All access tour on my Quantum cruise in January. Can now say, welcome to the family Quantum of the Seas, I knew you when you were a just a little piece of steel.
