We're counting down the days until Royal Caribbean's next cruise ship debuts, Quantum of the Seas, with our 99 days of Quantum countdown. Each day we will post something about this amazing new ship.
Quick boarding
One of the announcements Royal Caribbean made during its technology reveal event was guests would be able to board the ship "from the sidewalk to the ship" in 10 minutes.
As any veteran cruiser will tell you, the embarkation process usually takes a lot of time. Usually it can be anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes or more depending on a number of factors.

With Quantum of the Seas, Royal Caribbean promises to make it a whole lot quicker. Guests can fill out all the important legal information at home and even take their own "selfie" photo to be used with their SeaPass card.
You will still be able to check-in the "old fashioned way" at the cruise terminal too but those that take advantage of the new system will get onboard a whole lot quicker.
I love to get to my Royal Caribbean cruise early and get as much time onboard as I can on embarkation day. After all, the faster you get onboard, the faster your vacation really begins and this is the perfect solution.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's post as we celebrate 99 days of Quantum!
