Off the Quantum Yesterday

[mandtpa]

Pros :)

Very quick and easy boarding as long as your uploaded photo and documentation meets specs as described

No more medical form to fill out, questions asked by your greeter via tablet

Very attractive ship overall

Larger shower, if you drop the soap you can actually bend over to get it

The obstructed view in our port side forward cabin was minimal, could see the ocean

Soap and toiletries provided in bathroom

We had a non functional 110 vac receptacle next to the bed (for CPAP) and it was fixed within minutes of a call to maintenance

Cabin seemed longer but a little narrower so on the whole a little bigger

The ship is really a floating resort hotel

Don't miss MamaMia, it's great

Food in Chic or American Icon was good but not great

 

Cons :confused:

For our three day there was over a half hour wait for parking at Bayonne

We found no quiet lounge for a drink before or after dinner

Seems everywhere there is music it is a little too loud

Audio in the theater is extremely loud except for MamaMia which was perfect

The band in Two70 was deafeningly loud, could not possible hold a conversation, had to shout in a bartender's ear to order a drink

We didn't find any ballroom dancing venue

Although WiFi signal was good almost anywhere internet speed was slow which will likely be fixed

There were a lot of kinks that will likely be ironed out in time some due to cold weather

We still prefer MDR to DD

Diamond lounge on deck 4 was too small and spilled over into the Music Hall. Would have preferred a Viking Lounge topside

Seemed very family and young people oriented.

Very high tech an iPhone or iPad will help. No Android app yet.

 

Suggestions ;)

Make dinner reservations on line prior to cruise. Many people could not get a reservation or at a time they wanted on board

Our cabin on port side forward heard (felt) the baseline from the Music Theater until the wee hours. Stay aft or up

Good job on some of the basics about Q. We were on the TA and I was glad our cabin was aft (being near the elevator was a plus). Your dining observations are similar to mine, but I know there are many viewpoints on that topic :D
