In this article we’re taking a closer look at Quantum Ultra Class and highlighting the ships that take everything to the next level:

The Quantum Ultra Class differs slightly from Quantum Class with designs made specific to the regions each ship visits.
When booking a cruise on Quantum Ultra Class, be ready for a clean, crisp, bold interior with a wide array of amenities for your whole family to enjoy.
- Interior Staterooms sleep up to six guests and up to 340 square feet.
- Ocean View Staterooms include a large square window along with a small couch, king-size bed and desk area. The king-size bed can also be reconfigured into two double-size beds for friends traveling together.
- Balcony Staterooms provides even more room, with a larger sitting and desk area as well as the balcony itself.
All room types offer plenty of storage, with large closets and plenty of drawer space in the desk, bathroom and side tables. The bathrooms were quite spacious as well, with enough room for a shower, toilet and sink with moderate counter space. The room types also included the typical offerings such as a flat screen TV, plenty of US plugs and a hairdryer.
There are also a number of suites on the Quantum Ultra Class including Owner's Suites, Royal Suites, Grand Suites and Ultimate Family Suite with an in-room slide from the second floor (Spectrum of the Seas).

We certainly can’t leave without mentioning the food! For casual dining like breakfast and lunch, you can choose from a few options. The most popular, with the longest hours for both lunch and dinner, is the Windjammer Café. You can always count on the Windjammer Café to have something delicious, since it offers a huge buffet.
There are more than 20 different dining options, along with more bars and grills so whether you’re looking for pizza, a hot dog, fresh-rolled sushi or Italian cuisine, you’ve got it right here on board.
One thing we enjoy is that the server and assistant server stay the same for the entire cruise during main dining, which gives you plenty of opportunity to get to know them. They’ll also learn your preferences and are always available to suggest delicious meal options.
If you want to try something new, or celebrate a special event, there is specialty dining available for an additional cost like Chef’s Table, the most exclusive dining experience aboard.

Wherever you want to go, chances are Royal Caribbean can take you there! We highly recommend planning your cruise as far in advance as you can, since the best cruise rates – and cabin availability – are found early. You may find a few last-minute deals, but the savings are often negated by how high the airfare costs to leave so soon.
For help planning a cruise on a Quantum Ultra Class shop, or any of the wonderful Royal Caribbean Cruise ships, let our team of cruise experts help. Our staff has experienced nearly all of the ships, giving them first-hand experience to help you have the best cruise vacation.
