Royal Caribbean cruise line dazzled cruise aficionados with details of its forthcoming Quantum of the Seas ship, which will be the first at sea to offer attractions like bumper cars, simulated skydiving and an observation capsule called The North Star, with a bird s eye view 300 feet (91 meters) above the water.
The skydiving attraction, called RipCord, uses a powerful wind flow to keep participants alicante car rental aloft while floating and spinning over an outdoor deck. You re not touching anything but the air, said Adam Goldstein, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International.
An indoor complex called SeaPlex will host basketball, table tennis, trapeze instruction and bumper cars. The space converts to a dance floor for roller-skaters, with a DJ hovering above in a see-through pod. Another space, Two70, has a 270-degree panoramic view and will host aerialists and other performances.
Not everything on Quantum is new to the industry. Norwegian s Epic ship introduced rooms designed for solo travelers, which Quantum will also have. Disney s Dream and Fantasy ships have virtual portholes for windowless staterooms offering live views of the sea, and all of Quantum s interior cabins will also have virtual balconies consisting of LED screens with projected ocean views.
Tickets for Quantum s first sailing will go on sale to the public June 4, with Royal Caribbean regular cruisers alicante car rental getting an early shot at tickets starting May 27. Prices were not announced but cruise lines typically charge more for new ships than for other cruises. Richard Fain, chairman and CEO of Royal Caribbean alicante car rental Cruises Ltd., said there would be no extra fees for many of the ship s attractions, including The North Star and skydiving.
