We recently sailed on Quantum of the Seas out of the San Pedro Cruise Port for a Mexican Riviera itinerary. In this video, we break down essential Royal Caribbean cruise tips that every cruiser should know before stepping onboard — especially if you are interested in cruising after 50 and want to pace yourself. We cover Royal Caribbean check-in, the SetSail Pass, arriving at the San Pedro World Cruise Center, what to pack in your cruise carry-on bag, and what to do first once you board, including the eMuster drill. We also share where to eat lunch on embarkation day if you want to avoid the crowded Windjammer buffet. Quantum of the Seas is a large, active ship with so much to offer. We talk about the ship layout and key areas including the Royal Esplanade, Two70, Music Hall, Royal Theater, SeaPlex, North Star, FlowRider, Solarium, Café at Two70, Café Promenade, and Sorrento’s. Knowing what to expect before boarding can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed on day one.
