Let’s preview what my plans are for this cruise and discuss the changes that Quantum of the Seas brings.

There’s so much to do on a Royal Caribbean cruise, whether it’s a favorite spot to sit and relax or a restaurant that is unlike any other in the fleet. Maybe it’s somewhere the kids can spend hours at or it’s just somewhere you and your family love to go again and again.

Our one year anniversary podcast episode was a LIVE broadcast where our listeners called in to discuss the "debate" of interior versus balcony staterooms.
