Does anyone happen to be going? Let me know later, we will go to the cruise together!
It was two years ago that I went to Quantum Cruises last time.
At that time, I was with several good friends, taking the old man and the baby with me. Several babies stayed in the swimming pool all day, or got together to play in their own way. Old people like taking pictures, walking and sitting on the deck. We shuttled on the boat, played almost all the events on the boat during the day, and then went out to play Texas Hold 'em and have a drink and chat at night.
It's still a pleasant journey to remember.
If I were to talk about the overall feeling of the cruise, I would recommend it to families who plan to help the elderly and bring up the young.
It's really friendly for old people and children to stay on the boat and not run around. Moreover, there are not only many projects suitable for children to play, but also amusement centers that can receive children.
The baby can board the ship after 6 months, but it may be slightly restricted in the amusement facilities on board, and it is basically no problem after 3 years old.
Of course, if you can make an appointment with three or five friends and relatives, the pleasure will be doubled.
At the same time, the cruise ship is also very suitable for people like me who want to relax in one place, don't want to toss around many places to punch in, don't want to spend a lot of time looking for many strategies, and just want to spend their holidays in the most worry-free and labor-saving way.
After all, there are 19 restaurants on the cruise ship quantum, so you can taste delicious food without repeating it. There are also some surprising entertainment facilities, such as Polaris, deck skydiving, deck surfing, etc. There are all kinds of amazing performances, and there are many duty-free shops available in buy buy, and cafes, bars and swimming pools are more common.
So, for me, this cruise ship can meet most of my holiday needs.
So, today, Xiao Nuan will talk about the quantum cruise in my eyes, and we will also discuss with you how to play to get the best return ticket.
The reason for choosing it this time is very simple, because it has a port in Tianjin, which is the most convenient route for me.
Especially with the elderly and children, it is very important to reduce the tossing on the road.
However, when we went to Quantum two years ago, we chose to set sail from Shanghai because we were friends.
This time, Shanghai has a spectrum number. I wanted to "see", but I was defeated by lazy cancer in the end. Let's go home and come as conveniently as possible.
Quantum is really a giant at sea. It carries more than 4,000 passengers, with a total length of 348 meters, a width of 4 1 meter and a floor of 16. This is really a moving sea castle. Shuttling between the bow and stern every day is also an interesting experience.
For myself, I chose it for several reasons.
For example, the quality of food in quantum paid restaurants is really good, and the same price can't enjoy the same quality on the shore; For example, deck surfing, deck skydiving and other activities really want to play again, and I also want to try bumper cars and rock climbing that I didn't experience last time. In addition, you can naturally trust your baby and take time out to have a good rest.
Of course, because I like cruise ships, I may try more different cruise ships in the future and share other different experiences with you.
In the process of booking, the choice of room type is the most critical.
Simply put, if the money is not bad, it is recommended to choose a suite that can enjoy the gold card service.
There is a royal double-decker suite on Quantum, which can accommodate six people. This is the only one on board. There are also various luxury suites to choose from, each with its own characteristics. The most important thing is that the gold card service is very powerful!
It can save too much queue time, and there are some exclusive restaurants and services to enjoy, such as going to the show without reservation, VIP seats, a separate swimming pool area and going to clubs and other exclusive services. These advantages can really bring a lot of experiences on a cruise ship with more than 4,000 passengers, especially when there are so many people in summer.
If you don't consider the suite, then I would suggest choosing the balcony room (in fact, I have lived in the balcony room twice).
Quantum ordinary rooms are divided into inner cabin, sea view room (with windows to see the sea) and balcony room (with balcony, you can bask in the sun and blow the sea breeze, and sit on the lounge chair to rest).
From the sense of experience, the balcony room is naturally the best, and lying there in a daze is also pleasant.
Especially if you have children and clothes to dry every day, the role of the balcony is more obvious.
There are 10 free restaurants and 9 paid restaurants, including Chinese, American, Italian, European and Japanese cuisines, as well as cafes and bars with their own characteristics. Last time on the boat, we changed restaurants for almost every meal and didn't finish it.
In fact, the consumption pattern of cruise ships is all-inclusive to some extent, so if you want to play with the least cost, the free restaurant can be completely satisfied; But if you want to try to experience more, I want to say sincerely that the paid restaurant will not let you down.
Among the free restaurants on board 10, the sailboat restaurant is the largest, which can accommodate about 1000 people and is regarded as the most popular restaurant.
Its advantage is that there are many kinds of Chinese and western food, and many elderly people may prefer this kind of on-call meal. And because it's appointment-free, you can go at any time, which is really convenient. Of course, it is also the restaurant with the largest number of people forever, and sometimes the location will be difficult to find.
In addition to the largest sailboat cafeteria, the other four free main restaurants are Grandi (European), Aiken (American BBQ), Silk Road (Pan-Asian) and Geek (International), with different dining hours.
These restaurants basically serve dishes with different flavors in the form of a la carte. If you can remember the appointment in advance, you will have an unexpected gain, that is, the meal time will be longer.
In addition, the captain's dinner on each voyage is really worth recommending. The captain will come out to pick you up. The dinner will be different that day. It will be held in the free main restaurant.
Free leisure restaurants also include two cafes, a sorrento restaurant featuring pizza and a hot dog house in a multi-functional sports hall at sea.
Bang bang bang! I'd like to introduce a pay restaurant.
Last time I went, I chose Izumi-Japanese food, chef's restaurant and Dadong for dinner, among which Izumi and chef's restaurant were quite pleasant surprises.
The location of the chef's restaurant is very interesting. In the innermost private space of the steakhouse, only a * * * * provides 16 seats, and each person charges 18% service fee. It is recommended to wear formal clothes to attend.
The biggest feature of this dinner is to put seven glasses of red wine from different places in front of everyone, one glass of wine with a dish to taste.
The food in Izumi Japanese restaurant is even more value for money.
On the day we boarded the ship, we happened to meet the founder and chef of their restaurant for inspection. By chance, we ordered a theme dinner of "Sushi and Sake" managed by him personally.
To be honest, we all feel that the freshness and good taste of the ingredients are far more than the value of 79 yuan.
There is also the famous online celebrity restaurant Oliver Italian restaurant. It is said that it costs more than 100 yuan to eat his family's food on the shore, and only 40 yuan on the boat. I plan to try this time.
In addition, the paid restaurant also includes a solarium bar serving Chinese hot pot, an English bar serving very delicious grilled fish and an American steak barbecue restaurant.
These fee-paying restaurants are basically free for children under 5 years old, and special children's packages will also be provided. But if you order an adult meal, you still need to charge a normal fee.
The bar on the cruise ship is also remarkable. The most popular bar is the robot bar. Try to get the robot to help you mix while dancing. This experience is really unique.
There is also the Yin Yue Hall Bar, where you can drink while listening to music.
Polaris bar is located on the deck, and it is also beautiful to have a drink with the sea breeze.
In short, we often find a bar to play Texas Hold 'em in those nights, or just order two grilled fish and chat until midnight, which is also the advantage of calling friends and colleagues.
By the way, if you like to drink a little wine or drink, you can buy a drink set meal or a drink card after boarding the ship.
There are indeed many recreational facilities and projects on board. Xiao Nuan simply recommended several projects, and we strongly recommend you to experience them!
0 1 Polaris
This is a landmark facility in quantum numbers, and everyone who goes seems to be used to punching in.
It is a big rocker arm. Take the sightseeing cabin to an altitude of 88.6 meters above sea level, and watch the cruise ship and the sea in 360 degrees. The scenery is unique.
The price is $40 per person, and children over 107 cm in height are required to participate.
If you want to experience Polaris, Xiao Nuan reminds you of two things. First, be sure to make an appointment in advance, otherwise it may be difficult to book; Second, a friend recommended that you can choose to sit at sunset or on the day when the cruise ship docked at the shores of those two cities in Japan. It's better to watch the sunset or the appearance of the city than just the sea.
Deck skydiving in 02 iFly wind tunnel
There are three main activities on the deck, one is wind tunnel skydiving, the other is surfing, and the third is rock climbing. We went to the first two.
A parachute jump in the wind tunnel will be really unforgettable.
Participants will wear protective clothing first, then carry out safety training, and finally fly into the wind tunnel (there is a strong wind blowing you up). If the coach thinks this person has good control, he will hold the experimenter's hand and fly in the wind tunnel for a while.
This project should be accessible to children over 3 years old, mainly depending on their courage.
03 deck surfing
Another brave game.
The whole surfing simulator is12m long. Participants need to put on swimsuits, bring surfboards, and then lie on the boards or kneel to complete the surfing process.
The coach will accompany me and teach me some balance skills and how to stand on my knees against the waves, but because the waves are very big, I basically rely on shouting ... when I first tried, I was washed back to the top by the waves several times, which was not easy.
04 offshore rock climbing
We didn't go here at that time, and we felt a little scared. At that time, the child was still young. However, in the past two years, children in Tong Tong have become more and more interested in rock climbing. This time, we must let her punch in.
05 offshore deck swimming pool
If you want to say where the children spent the longest time, it would be three swimming pools on the deck. Children's fascination with water is really unparalleled.
Because it was summer, we just played in the outdoor swimming pool. In fact, there is an indoor swimming pool in quantum, and we can also soak in the hot spring pool in winter. The outdoor swimming pool is large and divided into different areas. There are swimming pools with water massage, special children's swimming beaches, artificial waves that can wash children to the "shore" again and again, as well as various sculptures, sprinklers and water cannons. They are all very happy.
The water in that pool is very shallow, so the children can have a good time.
There are lifeguards in the swimming pool area and life jackets specially for children, which is very convenient.
06 Maritime Multifunctional Gymnasium
There are bumper cars, table tennis, basketball and roller skating in this gym, which are places where children can "discharge" desperately.
If you have older children who like e-sports, you can also sit down and play a few X-boxes. Bumper cars can only be played by children over 5 years old. Last time I watched them eagerly for a long time, this time I can finally play!
07 Xinghai Legend
This is the most popular performance in quantum, and it is also one of the most difficult projects to make an appointment.
This is free, but if you find it troublesome to find a seat long in advance, you can of course buy a seat in the front VIP area to get a better experience.
This program is really wonderful, combining images, mechanical shows and live performances. The actors are good at singing and dancing, and there are some acrobatics.
The performance venue is located in the 270-degree viewing hall at the stern.
During the day, this is a large French window; At night, it becomes a curtain. One of its main features is interactivity. Actors will interact with the audience frequently. Sometimes you will suddenly find an actor performing hard beside you, and the children will scream in surprise.
08 children's club-maritime adventure center
Cruise ships can also entertain children. Since they provide this service, you must try it and give yourself a holiday once in a while! More importantly, the children will have a good time there.
Quantum Children's Club can provide one-stop nursing service for children from 6 months to 17. They will be divided into several different age groups, and each age group has its own activity area and arrangement.
All the staff here are qualified in education and other related majors. In addition to playing, many rich courses will be designed to help children increase their knowledge and ability.
Custody for children over 3 years old is free, and children under 3 years old are charged separately during the day and at night.
What are you going to do after the baby is taken care of?
In addition to the activities mentioned above, mothers and fathers can also go to fitness centers, spas, galleries and libraries to kill time. Leisure is a holiday gesture!
Duty-free shops are also a major feature of cruise ships. On the 4th and 5th floors, there are many famous European and American brands of jewelry, bags and cosmetics, such as Cartier, Burberry, Ferragamo, Bulgari and Tiffany.
The price is still beautiful. If you are interested in buying on board, you can also explore the price first and compare it.
In my opinion, it depends on everyone's own inclination, not absolute.
Last time I went, the two stops in Japan were Kumamoto and Miyazaki. I got off at both stops. When we were in Miyazaki, we chartered a car and drove it all day. Kumamoto followed the shopping group.
If you or your family have never been to Japan before and don't have a Japanese visa, it's good to take this opportunity to look around, but you will spend more time by car on the road. If you have been to Japan several times, there is nothing new. It would be great not to get off the boat, because the boat will be empty after everyone has left. ...
However, because most people got off the boat, although there was no need to queue up for dinner and entertainment, some projects stopped working directly on the day of landing. Make these psychological preparations, and then choose your favorite way.
0 1 about, about, about
I didn't do my homework when I first went. I closed my eyes on the boat. As a result, I realized that it might be a day late to know that I had to make an appointment for entertainment and restaurants through the app. When I really needed surgery, I found that I was like Tucson, and many of them were difficult to make an appointment or could not be booked directly.
So I called official website in advance this time and found that the original "on-board booking" was out of date, and "booking with order number or room number" was the right choice.
Generally, the open booking time of quantum numbers will start one or two months before sailing, so someone has already started at that time. ...
If you want to make an appointment in advance, you can make an appointment in three ways, one is the official website of the royal family, the other is the "royal reservation before departure" in the official number of "Royal Caribbean Cruises", and the third is to call the official number to make an appointment.
Remember, the latest advance booking time is 48 hours before sailing (if sailing on July 26th, the deadline is 23: 59pm on July 23rd). After this time, you can't use "advance booking".
You don't need a Japanese visa to go to Japan on the Quantum Cruise.
Many people have asked this question, and the answer is that no visa is needed.
Even if you choose to travel freely on shore, you don't need a visa. However, you must have a passport and the conditions for validity exceeding six months must be met.
Remember to arrive at the port earlier when you leave.
Be sure to watch the time. The sailing time is different from the time when the formalities are started. Even if we bought the VIP channel provided by the travel agency when we boarded the ship in Shanghai, it took us a long time to complete the process of filling in the information and customs clearance.
The software of Royal Caribbean has been updated.
We used to use Royal IQ, but this time we found that they have updated the "Royal Caribbean" APP, and we should be able to use it to check the schedule and appointment of the day after boarding the ship.
There is paid wireless internet service on the plane.
On the cruise ship, you won't be isolated. If you buy Wi-Fi, you will still have a stable network throughout, but the price is really not cheap. It would be more appropriate if several devices bought a package together.
Cruise ships should be thrifty, and people should have reasonable expectations for prices.
Except for the initial payment of the ship fee, the consumption after boarding is entirely up to you. Economic tours don't cost a penny. If you want to play better, it should be normal for a person to spend thousands of dollars, just depending on your own budget.
