Quantum of the Seas: A Concise Guide to Royal Caribbean’s Newest Cruise Ship
The Quantum of the Seas is the newest cruise ship in Royal Caribbean International’s fleet. It is the first ship to enter service in the “Quantum class,” which will consist of three ships in total. (Anthem of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas will join the Quantum of the Seas in Spring 2015 and Fall 2016, respectively.) The ship has only been in operation for a few months, but it has already garnered a lot of attention, in part because it is huge, flashy new ship from one of the largest cruise lines in the world, and in part because the vessel aims to be the most energy-efficient cruise ship sailing today. Below we have compiled a concise guide to the Quantum of the Seas, which covers not only some of the ship’s features, but also its eco-friendly innovations.

Hornblower Cruises
Hornblower Cruises, more expansively known as Hornblower Cruises and Events, offers a variety of short cruise trips in cities across the country, but primarily in California. Hornblower’s offerings are quite diverse, so it is hard to define a typical Hornblower cruise, but a celebration of some kind – for a holiday or private event – is often at the center of a cruise. A Hornblower cruise generally includes a meal and drinks, which are spread out over a three- or four-hour sailing. Hornblower Cruises therefore isn’t a vacation cruise line, but rather a company that uses their boats for dining cruises and to host private events, and to occasionally provide ferry services. Since the company offers so many different cruises, we thought it would be helpful to explain exactly what they do in the following concise guide to Hornblower Cruises. Read more […] -
