Jones will be part of the Quantum Experience Advisors, a team of celebrity experts who will help shape the look, feel and offerings aboard the new Quantum class cruise ships Royal Caribbean is building.  Jones is the second advisor, following interior designer and HGTV-star Genevieve Gorder.

Jones has been working with Royal Caribbean's guest activities team in Miami, Florida since June 2013 to come up with new exciting activities for cruise ship guests. Jones has been lending his expertise on the latest active trends and providing fresh ideas for Quantum of the Seas' SeaPlex sports zone.  The SeaPlex will be the largest entertainment complex at sea.

Since starting with Royal Caribbean, Jones has taken a look at the existing Royal Caribbean programming for guests as well as the signature Royal Caribbean offerings.  He has come up with some new ideas for the Quantum-class ships and been lending his expertise on the latest active trends and providing fresh ideas for SeaPlex.

Off the field, Jones is currently starring in a new show on FOX Sports 1, Jones and Mosley, and also is an author, entrepreneur and philanthropist, founding a company that sells high-end bow ties for various charities around the world.

"I'm having a phenomenal time working with Royal Caribbean as a Quantum Experience Advisor," said Jones. "It's giving me the opportunity to demonstrate my passion for sports, travel, fitness and adventure, and draw on my own experiences traveling the globe to contribute ideas that will bring good fitness and good fun to Quantum of the Seas."

Royal Caribbean released the first video starring Quantum Experience Advisor Genvieve Gorder, detailing her work on the interior design of the brand new Quantum of the Seas.

Royal Caribbean announced a few weeks ago that Gorder was hand-selected to be the first celebrity expert designer that will work on creating the look for Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship that debuts in late 2014.

Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship that is under construction, Quantum of the Seas, has its cruise director picked and the lucky man is Jimmy Rhodes.  Rhodes has been a cruise director for Royal Caribbean for 10 years now.

As cruise director, Rhodes said he will head all entertainment for guests 18 and older. In doing so, Rhodes said he will manage a team of about 120 dancers, musicians, youth and activities staff.

While Rhodes may be the full time cruise director for Quantum of the Seas, there are other reports that Richard Spacey will be the cruise director for Quantum of the Seas during its first few cruises, with Rhodes assuming the duties afterwards.

Quantum of the Seas' inaugural cruise is set for November 14, 2014 from Cape Liberty, New Jersey.

Royal Caribbean's public relations team is at the Meyer Werft ship yard this week to take a peek at the progress being made on Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship, Quantum of the Seas.  Royal Caribbean Senior Account Executive Lyan Sierra-Caro posted a photo of the steel laser cutting process, which will likely be part of an upcoming preview for the new ship.

Quantum of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's next cruise ship that will be built and will have her first official cruise in November 2014.

Earlier today Royal Caribbean announced interior designer and HGTV Star Genevieve Gorder as the first Quantum Experience Advisor for Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas.  This is the first in a series of videos documenting the process by which these advisors will help shape the Quantum class ships.

Royal Caribbean announced today that interior designer and HGTV star Genevieve Gorder is the first advisor for the design of Quantum of the Seas.  Gorder is the first member of the Quantum Experience Advisors program, that features a group of celebrity experts in fields such as design, sports & fitness, entertainment and others who will work hand-in-hand with Royal Caribbean’s internal teams to provide their expertise to help shape interior design, key amenities and activities on the Quantum-class.

The Quantum Experience Advisors is bringing these industry professionals in to help ensure every aspect of the guest experience has been maximized to the fullest extent.

Gorder will be tasked with being the Quantum Experience Advisor for Design.  Gorder is collaborating with Royal Caribbean’s newbuild and design team to offer insights and opinions and influence the décor and furnishings of the loft and suite accommodations onboard Quantum of the Seas.

Working in secret since May 2013, Gorder has reviewed plans, fabrics, carpets and furnishings for the ship’s luxurious accommodations.  Gorder and her team have helped to provide a more cohesive look and feel to the onboard suites and lofts.

Royal Caribbean Executive Vice President of Operations, Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, commented on the announcement, "Our teams at Royal Caribbean are always leading the charge in terms of delivering innovative and industry-leading ships and programming and now, by teaming up with some of the brightest and most talented professionals in their respective fields, we are sure to make the Quantum-class some of the most amazing ships to ever set sail.  Guest experience is our number one priority and ourQuantum Experience Advisors are bringing fresh insights, opinions and perspectives to help us deliver the kinds of WOW moments that can only be found on Royal Caribbean."

Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas are set to debut in November 2014 and April 2015 respectively.

Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas is blending robotics and entertainers to create thrilling shows in Two70. Robot arms move visuals as seamlessly as performers glide through the space giving guests an extraordinary experience.

Royal Caribbean's next three cruise ships, Quantum of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas and a yet-to-be-named third Oasis class ship, will utilize processing technology supplier Metso DNA for its integrated alarm, monitoring and control systems.

Metso is being contracted by the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, where the ships are being constructed.  Each ship will recieve integrated alarm, monitoring and control systems that are capable of producing 18,000 input/outputs in the machinery, air conditioning and emergency shutdown systems. The diesel electric power plant will also be managed by the system.

Previously Metso had provided the automation system components for Royal Caribbean's Radiance class of ships.

Photos of Quantum of the Seas' engines being delivered have surfaced on a photographer's web site, who appears to be working for the Meyer Werft shipyard.
