To countdown the launch of Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship, Quantum of the Seas, we're blogging about one aspect of the ship each day for 99 days. Check back each day for something exciting to read about this new ship.
Royal iQ
Yesterday we highlighted Royal Caribbean's new pre-cruise planner revamp that was all about planning your perfect cruise aboard Quantum of the Seas but today we're going to look at another bit of technology created for use during your cruise.
Royal Caribbean created a new onboard smart app called Royal iQ, which is dubbed as a "personal vacation amanagement app".
What does that mean? This app for your smartphone or tablet will allow you to keep track of what's going on during your cruise as well as remind you about excursions and other reservations you have made earlier.
Royal iQ allows guests to manage details during the cruise, includes a convenient calendar that provides at-a-glance views of the cruise or conference program. They'll also be able to keep in touch with one another and home via phone and text capabilities.
You can also find a daily schedule of events inside Royal iQ, along with maps of the ship.
Royal iQ will also allow you to track your luggage with new RFID tags. Once you drop off your luggage at the pier, Royal iQ will allow you to track your luggage as it moves from sidewalk to ship to stateroom. This will allow you to not have to keep going back to your stateroom to see if your bags have arrived yet.
Royal iQ will be available for iPads, iPhones and Android phones before October 31st. Guests booked on Quantum of the Seas will receive an email when the app is ready for download.
If you prefer not to carry a phone or tablet with you, Quantum of the Seas will offer eight freestanding iQ stations at Guest Services that give you the same functionality as the mobile apps. You will also find roaming Guest Services staff to assist as well.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's post as we celebrate 99 days of Quantum!
