[@frenchiesaparis5741]

Wonderful video, very helpful 👍❤️

[@Sue-we1qo]

Going on my first cruise in Dec this year. Your vlogs have been very helpful! Thank you.

[@DeanCurtis-Flynn]

Thank you for video we are staying in a balcony in March

[@annewright6034]

Thankyou. It’s looks very spacious

[@tonychristie4009]

Love the cubes, need to buy the heavier hooks for our swimmers, cool bananas, thanks again for the tips. Enjoyed the video, enjoy the rest of your holiday 😊🎉

[@haileymadison451]

Thank you for this vedio, we know now what to expect as far as our room and balcony goes.

[@karenjoyce2932]

Another brilliant video. Thanks guys. 🌺

[@Joanneklonaris]

going on the quantum of the seas in march 2025 for 14 days. Can’t wait . Thanks rob and Ali.

[@lflatt100]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Got some great tips re the shoes storage. We will be on the NY 2023 cruise in an ocean view balcony and our first cruise with Royal Caribbean.

[@michael-yo1re]

Great clips.keep them coming please. Like a breath of fresh air to see happy people.

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Michael. Thanks for watching and for your support. We try to enjoy everything we do. Too many people look for the negative. Sure, there are always things that can be better but we are not people to focus on that, it can ruin your holiday.

[@markwestcott6866]

Same room we will have in May. Thanks for the review.

[@Jamestrent9]

Off on the far north queensland cruise 3/3/2023 on this ship! I appreciate the balcony room tour! thank you!

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi James and thanks for watching and supporting us. We love the North Queensland cruises. Hope you have a fantastic time and let us know what you thought of the ship when you get back.

[@hollyhock4160]

We will cruise on Quantum in Aug so very helpful info. You both are Enjoyable to watch and listen to!

[@jasonmiller6371]

Thanks for your video. My wife and I are first time cruisers and will be on this ship with a balcony room in June to Alaska. It's nice to know in advance on what to expect when we get there.

[@sandraolivas4085]

Is the couch a sleeper? Really want to see how the room looks with it opened. We will be traveling on Quantum in 2025 with an adult son sharing our room.

[@travelwithdebandnick]

awesome video, very informative :) thank you for explaining about having to have the fan on for the aircon :) at least i know now for our march 2024 cruise om her :)

[@karenjoyce2932]

I'm going on the March cruise too. 😃

[@travelwithdebandnick]

awww nice :) @@karenjoyce2932

[@marciasanguinetti3900]

This was a lovely review - detailed and enjoyable ! May I ask if your stateroom was well insulated from adjacent walls and above ceiling noise generated by fellow passengers ? Thank you most kindly again for your video - you are a couple of cutie pies 🙂 and cheers to many more cruises !!! Marcia

[@alishasl2020]

Thank you! Will be on this ship this month. Appreciate your updates and views

[@taniasarah5616]

Thanks for the Nilodor tip. A friend of mine recommended this awhile ago (just for everyday) but I forgot about it. Am adding it to my Woolies order right now!!

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Tania and thanks for continuing to support us, we really do appreciate it. The beauty about that is that it is in such a small bottle but packs quite a punch, very effective.

[@nwjeepgirl]

Did you know those are cabinets above the headboard? It’s even more storage 😊

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi and thanks for watching. Yes, there were actually really useful. I think we did show that in either the cabin tour video or this video. Heaps of storage in the cabin.

[@simonchambers2321]

😂 those bloody shorts!

[@wiltheisen7873]

Wow! Great description of the room. My wife and I will be on this ship soon. Your video is both informative and helpful.

[@Ambientmopar]

🛳🛳🛳 Great video 🛳🛳🛳

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi and thanks for watching. We do appreciate your support.

[@robdouglas880]

Excellent review. We are taking our first cruise with RC on the Quantum in 2025 & was good to see the tea & coffee making facilities which we didn’t have on Carnival Luminosa. The sliding door to the balcony better than Luminosa.. Love your cabin reviews, so helpful...👍💙

[@mbeck6984]

Thanks for the tour! Was there a hot water kettle in your room?

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi, sorry for the delay. Yes, there was. I think we show it in our first tour of this cabin. Most, if not all other cruise lines sailing from Australia do not have or allow them.

[@mbeck6984]

@@robandalicruisetravel Great, thank you 😊

[@karenjoyce2932]

Hey guys with your magnetic hooks...I'm so curious as to what it's adhering to on the roof. Is the ceiling metal?

[@janessnp]

Yes, the ceilings and walls are metal.

[@florenceminjoot5475]

✨✨✨✨👍✨✨✨✨✨

[@yolandacarter9867]

That looks very much like a queen size bed, but I do want to know if the chocolate medication comes with the room?

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Yolanda. Sorry for the delay in replying. We didn't measure it but it seemed to be bigger than our Queen size bed at home. I think, being 2 singles together, it is more like a King size bed. Sadly chocolates do not come with it but even better, you can take onboard your own favourites so you will never be disappointed. Always look on the bright side 🙂

[@johnwhiting6581]

Hello - great videos. Re laundry, how do you wash your gym gear if you go often? Or underwear There is no laundry on Quantum ? Thanks

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi John. Even when there are laundries we try to avoid them like the plague. More arguments in laundries than anywhere else on the ship. We generally try to take enough clothes with us to last the whole cruise. Of course, it helps if you don't have to fly and you're not limited on the luggage you can take. And we do not travel light.

[@debramaloney9334]

Chocolate 🥰 Where do you buy magnetic hooks and how much do they cost? Can you take your empty personal water bottles on board and fill them somewhere to put in your room for use, instead of buying bottles of water from ship. They are very expensive. Can you also take onboard in luggage Long Life Milk Cartons so as to make a cuppa in your room with own tea bags, as you say the room has a kettle. Also as the ship is so BIG is it easy to navigate once you get familiar with it? Our last cruise was on the Pacific Encounter, and as much as we tried , we found the Pacific Encounter hard to navigate and confusing. Thank you for always answering my questions so quickly. Love your friendly videos.

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Debra. Sorry for the delay in replying. Came back to lots of comments and still trying to catch up. We got the magnets from eBay. The big ones were around $30 for 6. Yes you can take plastic water bottles on board and fill them for use on board or when you get off at a port. You should be able to take on onboard unopened cartons of milk, haven't tried it, but you may be better just taking a smaller bottle and filling it daily from the milk in the Windjammer restaurant. We were on the Encounter in September and this may sound strange but we found Quantum actually easier to navigate, even though it is bigger. Happy to help if you have any other questions.

[@rein3950]

Could you give us a tour of the whole ship please 😁

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Rein. We are working on that one. It is such a big ship that we might have to do it over a couple of videos. Hopefully have something out on that next week.

[@iorichan]

Hi Ali & Rob! Awesome video I've been taking notes for our upcoming, very first family cruise on this exact ship :) Was wondering if the European power socket was a UK one or somthing else, our adpters are Australian and will probably need to bring travel ones.

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Wayne. Thanks for watching and sorry for the delay in replying. The European socket is different to the UK one. The UK one has 3 large rectangular pins whereas the European one has 2 circular ones. You can get adapters from places like JB HiFi or Woolies and Coles. Hope that helps and have a fantastic trip.

[@trevandzoey]

Just a quick question, how you get the beers onboard, the ones in the cupboard

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Trevor and thanks for watching. Unfortunately they are not alcoholic beers but non-alcoholic beers. You are allowed to take on board 12 cans of non-alcoholic beverages per person and as Ali doesn't drink alcohol and they are not usually included in the non-alcoholic drinks packages we usually take some on for her.

[@ianm6204]

I was thinking the same thing 😀

[@sharyncreswell5138]

If you are sleeping on the sofa, they make it up with a mattress topper.

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Sharyn. That's good to know, thanks.

[@soothingsounds9578]

Is there a power point on both sides of the bed

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi and thanks for watching. Our cabin only had a powerpoint on the one side of the bed which was the side nearest the balcony.

[@frenchiesaparis5741]

1x US power point on ONE side of the bed (not both). The desk has more power points (2x USB, 2x US & 1x Euro)

[@sarahalker8507]

Are you just using a go pro it’s great quality camera?

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Sarah. Thanks for watching and supporting us. We do pretty much all filming on the GoPro as they are small and really easy to use in terms of settings. Where they fall down though is in low light. We have been using the Samsung and iPhones for low light but even they aren't that good. We are currently looking at some of the Sony cameras with larger sensors to use in low light but haven't settled on one yet.

[@garygray9913]

Wot about the balcony folks ?????

[@travelwithdebandnick]

im a bit worried as there will be 3 of us in one of these cabin, myself, my fiance and my mum. we thought it was a sofa bed. im really hoping that our particular cabin has one as mum being elderly could never climb a ladder to get up onto a pullam bed.lm concerened about the storage too with there being the 3 if us

[@patriciaparker162]

The cabin Stewart gave us an extra card so we didn't have to use our passes

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Patricia. Thanks for watching. That will work too, I don't think there is anything that these guys can't get for you if you ask.

[@adrianprendergast3617]

Hi, glad you enjoyed your first Royal Caribbean Cruise, we were on that same cruise! I just thought I’d let you know about a couple of corrections for your video. 1. You are NOT permitted to take a hair dryer on board. 2. The TV DOES swivel. You have to give it a firm tug on the side closest to the balcony door. We look forward to seeing your next video on Quantum, hopefully I’m not lurking in the background.

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Hi Adrian and thanks for the reply. Interesting about the hairdryers, haven't come across a cruise line that has not allowed them before. We did give the TV a good tug but it was not for moving. Maybe it was broken in our cabin and they'd fastened it to the wall. I had a good look behind as well and it did look like a fixed mounting but I didn't want to pull it any harder in case it came off the wall. Will try again on our next Royal cruise. If you see yourself in one of the videos let us know though. We love it when people see themselves. Are you planning on being back on board again anytime soon?

[@adrianprendergast3617]

@@robandalicruisetravel yes to be fair it felt like I was going to rip the tv off the wall. Yep, we are booked to go back on Quantum later this year.

[@robandalicruisetravel]

@@adrianprendergast3617 I can't change the video now but I've added a note in the description about no hairdryers. Never imagined they wouldn't be allowed as they have been OK for every other cruise line we've been on. Doesn't make a difference to me though (Rob) LOL.
