Tenders on an overnight port.
ScottishRobbie replied to The Whitts's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
In December, I was onboard Quantum when we were rerouted to overnight in Sydney due to a tropical cyclone. The last tender from the ship was midnight, last tender from land was 0030 and tendering restarted approx., 0730 the following morning. -

Australia/NZ Cruising News
ScottishRobbie replied to Vanessa77's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
Personally, I think the struggle with Quantum bookings is because not as many people want to sail from Brisbane. Especially international visitors, they would rather have sail away from the beautiful Sydney Harbour as opposed to Brisbane port, which is in the middle of nowhere and right beside a cargo port and a sewage plant. -
Australia/NZ Cruising News

Forget it. As much as I'd love to see it, it's not happening any time in the next decade. Oasis class are too big for Circular Quay so can't homeport there. They currently struggle to fill Quantum out of Brisbane, so there's no sense in upgrading to an Oasis Class there. And even if they did, where will it sail to? Quantum almost exclusively sails to the South Pacific and the Great Barrier Reef. On those runs all ports except Noumea are tender ports. In 14 years of sailings, Oasis class haven't tendered, so I doubt they'll start now. -

For Sydney, bag drop open from 8.30-9.00. They will start boarding around 11am, however usually large lines around then, after midday they usually just let you through, and by that time there's rarely any queues. You'll be on the ship in less than 15 minutes.

Reading reports on Facebook from people booked on the 2025 Eastbound Trans Pacific on Ovation to Hawaii that their Travel Agents have started received cancellation notices. -
Yes, they're still used. Yes, they're water proof. Yes, they open stateroom doors. Can't comment re. Drinks Package or Coco Cay.

The photo certainly looks identical to the Quantum class, I haven't been on Oasis or her sisters so can't comment on those

It's been out of service for 6 months or so. Crew onboard report that one of the glass panels have cracked, and it can't be fixed until drydock in October next year -

Discovery of the Seas
ScottishRobbie replied to ScubaEagle's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
I think this is the first time we’ve actually seen RCI talk about Project Discovery in writing. I’m on Quantum of the Seas at the moment, and watching Entertainment Today this morning John our CD mentioned that the Senior Officers info sheet that used to be at Guest Services can now be found on the wayfinders that are near the elevators. So being curious, I went to read through it and found this under our Staff Captain.
