AAA Traveler - Summer 2014 - 27

meals with characters from DreamWorks films (think
lunch with Shrek), participate in parades and have
their photos taken with their favorite characters. They
can also view 3-D movies in the ship's theater and
watch a DreamWorks channel in their stateroom.
For guests seeking relaxation, cantilevered whirlpools, a comprehensive spa/salon and boutiques for
retail therapy provide ways to de-stress.

If you're hard-pressed to imagine how RCI could set
the bar any higher than on its Oasis Class ships, think
again. When the cruise line's first Quantum Class
ship Quantum of the SeasSM debuts this fall, the
4,180-guest vessel will crank up the "wow" factor.
More industry firsts will include an indoor skydiving
simulator that uses wind-tunnel technology to create
the sensation of flying, and fun-loving cruisers
will enjoy playing "gotcha" in bumper cars,
going roller skating and learning to dangle
from a trapeze at circus school.
One spectacular feature on the new Quantum of the SeasSM and its twin ship Anthem of
the SeasSM (scheduled to launch in 2015) is the
North Star, a glass-enclosed observation capsule
that rises 300 feet above sea level and extends
beyond the ship's sides over water, offering
guests 360-degree views. Quantum Class ships
will also offer cruising's first single cabins with
balconies, and inside cabins with "virtual"
balconies that simulate floor-to-ceiling ocean
views. And RCI hasn't forgotten its signature
rock-climbing walls-they are standard on each
of its 22 vessels, as are lively water parks.
In another dramatic move, RCI has upended
the way guests dine on Quantum of the SeasSM
and Anthem of the SeasSM. No more main
dining rooms! Cruisers now have access to
Dynamic Dining, choosing any one of five
smaller full-service restaurants included in the
price of the cruise. Each eatery serves a different
type of cuisine and passengers can make their
own reservations. The ships have also added new

specialty restaurants to their mainstay variety of casual
and upscale eateries not covered in the price of the cruise.

Carolina cruisers will have their best chance to cruise
on Quantum of the SeasSM this winter when she sails
to the Caribbean from Port Liberty in Bayonne, N.J.,
before moving in May 2015 to China, where she will
cruise year-round from Shanghai.
After finishing her inaugural season sailing out of
Southampton, England, in spring 2015, Anthem of the
SeasSM will arrive at Cape Liberty in Bayonne, N.J.,
in winter 2015-16, offering itineraries to the Bahamas
and throughout the Caribbean.
For the continuing saga of the mind-boggling new
ships in RCI's royal fleet, stand by for the launch of the
third Oasis Class and Quantum Class vessels in 2016.
