Congratulations!

Just wanted to share! 17 days until we sail! 
 
So excited!

I agree. I ended up waiting until my last sea day last time and even forwent the deals on the first day and seemingly got the best price. Your mileage may vary but given the Cruise Planner prices have _no_ discount generally speaking you'll likely have better luck on-board.

So far, I have found it better to book on board. There is always some package deals on board and daily discounts that are not available pre cruise. I booked 3 sessions for last December sailing pre cruise only to find that I could have gotten at least a 30% discount had I booked them on board.

Just wanted to say Happy New Year to the RCI Blog Community!

What a great resource we have here of like minded cruisers that offer up great advice
and information to everyone.  Thank you to Matt and his team for all they do to keep
all RCI cruise information relevant.

Hope to see some of you on a cruise this year in 2020!  Here's to a Great Year Ahead

Hi everyone, 
I just disembarked from Quantum and indeed, there are NO diamond lounges on board. However, diamond members get to have happy hours drinks at music lounge daily.
Solarium is only for adults. 
Concierge Club, which is on Deck 12 (aft), is only available to suite guests.
Suite guests also have access to a private sun deck that is empty most of the time and this deck offers spectacular view. This sun deck can be accessed by a special stairway that is closed off and only accessible to guests with sea pass cards to suites.
 
 

Yup. That’s a confirmation! Food items are covered as well. We had great cheesecake at the coffee house next to Cafe Promenade. The coffee there is delicious and they also have bottled Starbucks Frappuccino and Latte.

Wonderful view from inside Coastal Kitchen.

Great. Hope to meet you on board.

@BaikG I believe Star class will be available on Quantum for sailings out of Singapore even in April 2020 but I will confirm that with my genie. Also, I will be happy to answer your questions after my cruise. By the way, my genie has introduced herself. She is Eva Lee and seems very competent.

Everything will be charged to your credit card. So, you can skip the queue to settle your bill on the night before disembarkation.

Bring a pen and a highlighter with you. You never know when you want to write a thank you note and you most definitely want to mark out those activities that you don’t want to miss on your cruise compass.

1. Arrive to the port early. You are paying for your day 1 and the sooner you get on the ship, the sooner you can start your vacation.
2. Bring a USB port outlet for more charging space. Do not confuse this with a surge protector, since it most likely will be confiscated.
3. Be friendly to the crew and chat with them. Room stewards, for instance, enjoy when we have conversations with them because their jobs are very repetitive and have to clean up after us. It can really make someone's day.
 

Bring your patience. Some people will act rude, but go into the trip with a vacation state of mind, and any absurd actions from other passengers will roll easier off your back.
