Just disembarked Quantum. Suite 10324 this time. Definitely love the deck 10 middle GLS. Definitely a bit less noise from 270 on deck 10. Don’t get me wrong, I’d happily take either the center GLS on deck 10 or deck 8... regardless of any noise!! In case anyone is interested, rumor on the ship is that Quantum will cancel its China sailings and extend in Singapore until September (selling through June right now).

No, the OLS is a corner and the deck 8 GLS is a middle. I’m curious to see the deck 8 vs 10 GLS - both middle. I’ve avoided the deck 10 corner GLS based on the prior info you shared!

So, I have been fortunate enough to do a few of the Singapore cruises over the past couple months and was able to experience the OLS and the deck 8 GLS. A few differences, but my overall vote goes to the GLS. I just disembarked this morning and thought I would share a few thoughts while still fresh: Main level interior of both rooms basically feel the same size The main level primary balcony is much bigger in the GLS (of the differences, this is the primary reason I preferred the GLS vs OLS) Main level split bathroom of OLS is probably nice if traveling with a larger group, but there were just 2 of us so that wasn't an issue for us Upstairs bathroom is much bigger in OLS (with double sink), but both have showers of similar size with dual shower heads Side balconies of OLS definitely add more natural light but they are small and really only adequate for 1 person to enjoy; again, perhaps nice for larger group allowing for spaces if anyone wants to get away for a while ? The noise from 270 in both rooms didn't bother us as we were often out during show times; definitely heard it a few times, but it wasn't an issue I am actually going on another sailing in 3 weeks and will be in a deck 10 middle GLS. Once we return, I will share any differences between deck 8 and deck 10 middle GLS.

Eli is exceptional! We have done 2 SG cruises recently in SC. We were assigned Eli on our first cruise and requested her again for our second one. She will take great care of you!

Make sure to look and see if they charged gratuities on your account summary. Star Class is supposed to have complimentary gratuities; however, I have booked a couple Star Class SG sailings and each time they incorrectly added gratuities. I had to call to get the charges removed.

You can go to the website to see if your reservation qualifies: Singapore version - https://www.royalcaribbean.com/sgp/en/booked/cruise-room-upgrade If I recall correctly, I believe your sailing date has to be within the next 30 days.

We are 10 days out from our sailing date and can confirm that RC is sending RoyalUp offer emails. I booked in Star Class, but received an offer for the Royal Loft Suite. I have been in contact with my genie and she has confirmed that we don't need to pre-book show reservations as she will be able to get us access. Also, she has already made a couple dinner reservations for us but has offered to change them once we get on board.

Actually... they have announced that the voyage scheduled to leave tomorrow has been cancelled; tentatively planning to resume on 14 Dec.

Thank you both for the additional information! We are US expats living in Singapore and while we have done several cruises, we are doing our first Star Class voyage in a few weeks!! We had already booked a 4 night OLS aboard Quantum for Dec 31, but given your feedback we have also now booked a second 4 night voyage aboard Quantum in March in a GLS - #8724 as recommended! Thanks again!

Any preferences/recommendations when comparing GLS vs OLS on Quantum?

Also, I did hear from my genie that she is going to "organize a Star Class experience for North Star and Ripcord by iFLY (complimentary for Star Class guests)"

I can certainly ask when I hear back from my genie again. If you search for a thread on cruisecritic, titled 'quantum of the seas 2 night "opening cruise" live', you can see general info from a current passenger. It looks like the casino is operating normally but at a reduced capacity.

I am on the 31 Dec voyage, booked in Star Class... and I can confirm that my genie reached out to me yesterday! Very excited as this will be our first time in Star Class!
