The most technologically advanced cruise ship in the world - Top Shelf 

turns out tickets are 1000$

Re Flights to Europe from NA are regularly around that price and some families go the cruise route over the flight and hotel route.

Ibraheem Productions it's cool tho"

but when you have money , that's one of the best places to spend on :D

Ibraheem Productions ew

Lmao. 7 night cruises are like 500 bucks. Save up and go.

They focus on wifi i'd be on the xbox all the time

SNJ

***** 5 night cruise, Quantum of the Seas. Under 5 hundo. www.royalcaribbean.com/cruises?shipCode_QN=true&vacationTypeCode_CO=true

wow the future is now

Loads of people that don't fight over fucking plastic boxes

Rohan Saini No like why would you play video games in general when you are paying to be on this cruise?

TheSimplyJJP idk some freaks can't live without gaming

maybe teenage kids while their parents go party?

If you go on a really long cruise, with multiple days on the ocean, sometimes you just want to reach for the familiar. Other times, like say if your near the tail end of a long trip, you've done most of the stuff on the ship.

Ted Chaffman yes! 😍

Ddyracer you mean 5:02

I mean _pedantic_

Thought the same thing

This

nah fam those robots design the cars, the humans assemble things

You can do it on a boat.

Connectivity is one of the reasons many people avoid going on cruises. Wifi is almost always offered in resorts, it's something the cruise industry really needs if it wants to capture a younger audience. As to your argument regarding people playing Xbox while on vacation, a lot of resorts offer entertainment lounges that have consoles as well. In my experience, people are more likely to play video games at resorts than on cruises.

Jarl, It is like the differences between jerking off and going to the brothel; both are nice but the latter, although not free, gets you to go out once in a while and enjoy social encounteers :) peace

Nobody actually does that (based on my experience on Oasis of the seas last year), you would be missing out on soooooooo many things that you mostly wont ever have the opportunity to experience again!

TheDudecof Hey I went on the Oasis too! Small world haha.

totally. this whole time i was thinking PORTAL 2!!!

or vimeo.com/75260457 if its not the same guys

Small ship with a bunch of shit in it. Less walking, don't see why people would mind.

it looks like that space ship form wall-e, except stuck on water.

danny1111105 omfg thats what I was thinking

Robert Oortwijn death space

JakeXLX he is saying "small space ship" dumbass

Audrey M but I want the free wifi lolol

Aaron Bear The whole ship has wifi

the guy answered that in the video man, its not - you book it

Cruise ship food is free it is included in the price

Does McDonalds float and end up somewhere different every day?

+Sir. Boom TBH, no I really dont.

The Titanic is an ocean liner built to sail across a stormy and wavy ocean at more that 30 knots, a cruise ship, like the Quantum, is built to cruise through a calm and warm sea with occasional rough seas at no more than 23 knots. The Titanic was not at all technologically advanced, she was not the fastest or the most efficient, she was just happened to be the largest passenger ship built at the time.

The Titanic WAS, not is since it sunk.

they said that even God couldn't take down the titanic....and he showed them

+Shabab Choudhury He* :-)

+Postghost Everything just shuts down. Youre basically screwed for the rest of journey.

+Lord Hypnotik even the WiFi..😖

Parmeet Singh Sadly... yes

By morphing into a submarine..

Cornfed Warrior Arr, so it be witchcraft ! She a cursed vessel that one.

Will it blend that is the question

+Midnight Dust hahahaha damn that was funny😂😂😂

The actual question is can you microwave this though?

KatyabolMC no

KatyabolMC crash it into an ice burg and find out xD

Expect to spend about 1500 on the cruise itself, then you have transport to the ship and back to home. So usually you wanna add about 500-800 on travel, fees, and basic needs when factoring it in. You can do a two week cruise for like 2.5k or a single week for about 1.5-1.7k. Really not bad.

Yeah, except you probably have to pay for everything, and since you're stuck on a ship, they can gouge you pretty handsomely.

Food is included, drinks you have to buy.

I’ve seen some for $600 now!

That's what. I want cruise do you recommend

Jane Abraham Yes, go on a normal cruise that goes to many different countries and see amazing things, you will NOT care about WiFi and stupid holograms.

+Nathan Jones But that 600mbps internet tho, damn.

Edward Elric that's between everyone tho.

This ship could use variable geometry natural gas turbines or nuclear power instead of ancient diesel technology.

thats why you stay onboard when the ship arrives at an island. You will basically have the entire ship to yourself

Thats actually not true. You book a time when you want to do it and you go there the time that you booked without waiting

Agreed, I miss David and Top Shelf and the Vergecast and etc.

Not everyone would be using it all at a time.

Everyone using a phone or tablet would be using the Internet simultaneously ... push notifications like 'this' multiplied by the number of Apps constantly pulling data.

LoL rong, we don't have any new ways of transportation. What r u talking about.

A.J. Deutsch, mate, seriously? 50 years ago, any airline ticket was about the same price as some of the most expensive first-class aeroplane seats are today. Not only has the price gone down on many means of transport, they have been improved in many different ways, such as a bigger capacity (size), faster speed, longer range of travel, etc.

uh, isn't that what a lot of companies have spent a lot of time doing since forever?

No. Just no. You definitely nee 120 fps and 3d. Don't be stupid. #pcmasterrace /s

30 movements per second in a robotic device is pretty impressing.

/s means Sarcasm if you didnt know.

/p means penis if you didn't know.

cool. /s

And make new ones because robots dont design them self.

probably created more jobs

Samuel kings they took our jobs

+DIGOTRON DEY TURK AWR JOBS!

+Lukas Schmidt Yeah but robots are designed by engineers and computer scientists. These robots might be stealing work to people that doesn't have any sort of degree.

It is, actually. Royal Caribbean actually invested in launching a SATELLITE TO BEAM THE WIFI ONTO THE SHIPS to solve the internet issue. One satellite launch costs $100 million on average, and each satellite can serve up to 30 ships if i recall correctly... And they're planning to launch more :3

godzilla_rim ice bar sounds cold D: ziplining id be scared as hell to do, same with rope walking golf isnt my thing so imma just take da cruise

The Fuck?

Lmao

bukueOner they are not a party line like carnival they want to attract faimlies

Michaela Hutto carnival is family cruise line too .......

+Edawesome ITS JUST ABOUT $800

You will need a small loan of a million dollars

EOC no I just got off we spent 4,500 dollars for a week 5 people total!

you are riding on the boat, not buying it.

If you buy it a year in advance it's much cheaper

Hooperman People like me urge to watch RU-vid during night hours after a long day on the cruise!! I don't think people should spend more on just Internet, personally internet is a gimmick for cruises.

Hooperman, mate seriously do you feckin expect people to be on waterslides for the entire day mate like it’s not that hard to understand that at some physical point in time SOMEBODY is going to need WiFi. Now be honest with me here. Do you bring your phone/tablet/whatever on holiday? I thought so.

To have fun.

pa ultimate

RBuckminsterFuller totally understand you, vis a vis

if you decide to take the trip....and buy the whole shipping company while you're at it

Literally can go for 600$/person

For a ticket...another thousands $ during vacation on board

Mpetri 2000 hidden costs and fees included in the $600?

not with custom textures

And just got back. 10/10!

Corrosive, boats and ships are the same thing ya feckin idiot

Bruh hell no Who the hell would have a good time while being offline

@@VitVoz honestly. When I travel, I’d rather 580 no scope newbs in forkknife than see the world.

what happens if any ship is hit by an EMP? Or a plane? Submarine? Skyscraper? We're in a technological world and we'd be screwed pretty much anywhere during an EMP

I volunteer on a small 126 ft steam vessel. Everything important on it works without electricity. You'd have no lights, no communications and no refrigeration, but the whole propulsion system and steering gear is all steam driven so it would be the only thing on the water that starts and runs without electricity and computers. You'd even have running water and flushing toilets, hot showers without electricity. The generator is actually powered by a steam engine which wouldn't give a toss about an EMP I just don't know if the control circuit for the alternator would still work after an EMP.

Charles Randolph, well, pretty much anything not in a faraday cage is screwed when hit by an EMP.

How was it?

Re I'm not rich I just got off of it with my family of 5 we only spent $4,500

Michaela Hutto "only"

which means like 800 dollars per person which is less than some flights to europe

800 but that's for transportation, food , and a place to sleep

No, not really, it’s not that Expensive, I’m going

Not really... there is a cruise line called Carnival Cruises that would cause confusion amongst people. Plus, this ship is all about the future and new and exciting technology... hence "quantum", which evokes more of a feeling of that.

About the future?? Are you kidding me? Why because it has robot bartenders? How ling before those break down?? Computer operated. Wont be long! Dogem Cars? Same thing. TV screens that move like the robots? Again how long before all this stuff breaks down. Its going to cost them more money to keep this ship afloat! Also the Skydiving? You dont see a Carnival theme here? Hmmmmm....maybe you should go to your County Fair and get back to me. But Thanks for playing!

Dude, seriously... what? Yes... the future. Robot bar tenders aren't exactly commonplace are they. Neither is a sky crane above the boat, or skydiving at sea. Sure they probably will break down from time to time, but then so do trains, and cars, and rollercoasters, and vending machines. ANYTHING that has been engineered is likely to break down at some point. And no, it won't cost them "more money to keep this ship afloat" because if one thing does breakdown, hey they get an engineer in to fix it. What the hell is your problem? What the fuck county fairs do you have where you can skydive? Again, and I think everyone will agree with me here... the focus is on futuristic stuff: HD moving screens and projections, innovations, robots, sleekness, energy efficient etc. Hence "Quantum". If the boat was all glittery, and red and white, and had merry go rounds and helter skelters all over the place, then sure... call it a fucking carnival ship.

Depends on where it sets sail from. From the U.S., it's 21.

The Grump 101 Negative. It is not where the ship sails from, nor is it where the owner of ship resides. The laws that apply in international waters depend only on the registry of the vessel. A ship can be registered in a country and never see a port in that country. That is why most commercial ships sail under "flags of convenience" such as Panama, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Malta, etc. It is important to note that a particular cruise line (notably Carnival) may choose to register its ships in different countries, so the laws will be different depending on which ship you choose. Around 90% of all commercial marine vessels, including passenger ships, calling on US ports are under foreign flags. There's only one big sea cruise ship registered in USA - MS Pride of America, sailing solely out of Hawaii. However, it is not the laws of the country of registry that you need to worry about. It is the cruise ship contract. Different cruise lines will stipulate minimum drinking age as a matter of corporate policy, setting more restrictive drinking ages than necessary limited by law. For example, Carnival cruise lines operates ships registered in Panama (drinking age 18) and Bahamas (drinking age 18), but the Carnival cruise line corporate policy stipulates that only passengers above the age of 21 may drink alcoholic beverages while on board. The majority of the large cruise lines have set the drinking age at 21, although there are a few exceptions. The flags of convenience are not chosen to best serve the customer, they are chosen to maximize corporate profits and minimize corporate liability.

i think very soon they'll replace doctors with robots even lawyers

Did y'all not notice how slow those bar robots were? Like 2 minutes per drink and they can't multitask. I feel very secure in my job....

+Héctor Fabian De La Barra Do you even realize how expensive it is to develop & maintain a robotic system? Engineers, Technicians & Programmers aren't cheap buddy. Their is no way your local BurgerKing can afford to fire half of it's restaurant staff so multimillion dollar robotic systems can make your food. Their's a reason why robotics have STAYED only in the manufacturing industry because that's the only case where it's profitable. Until the day when it becomes practical... You have vending machines.

Héctor Fabian De La Barra, you forgot to factor in the fact that other jobs will be created to service said robots. Also I highly doubt they will ALL be replaced mate. Like, I don’t say this often, but that was a rather stupid comment.

Musicians and dancers won't be replaced, thats like saying musicians won't get jobs because there's too many RU-vid videos of musicians

Frögemann Pepe Von Schuürburgenzen the Third H what an idiot

Kyle The Crusader, do you know what “Allahu Akbar” means? It means “God is Great.” You should stop associating the phrase “Allahu Akbar” with bombs and terror. Associate it with peace and celebration.

ⵔⵓⴽⴰⵜⴽⴰⵜ except that doesn’t happen.

+Th3TimTamT3ch Stop being Micro-"*Soft*"

+Th3TimTamT3ch Im joking, no hate XD

+Th3TimTamT3ch PC Should be a top of the line pc with 5k gaming. #CONSOLEPESANTS #PCMASTERRACE

xbox and ps4 are trash BOW DOWN TO THE PC MASTERRACE

week long cruises stop at 3 destinations where you can get off and do stuff. I went zip-lining and swam with sting-rays on a cruise vacation. If you want to do more, then just go do it, no one is making you go on a cruise.

Diego Jorge That's still not good enough honestly. When I've travelled around on my own you see the cruise ships come in during the morning and leave before sunset. That's such an artificial, generic and cookie cutter way to travel, where you're basically a sheep following a shepherd ("You only have X time before you have to come back), rather than an independent human being forging their own path. I know no one is making me go on a cruise, but the fact that they're trying to target my age group is why I'm voicing my opinion.

DarKnightofCydonia lol honestly, if I was travelling on this ship, I wouldn't even care about getting off. But maybe that's just me.

DarKnightofCydonia Some people just want to chill and enjoy things. Not everyone is looking for a major life changing adventure.

It's for money

It seems like the people there are having a pretty good time. Why be such a downer?

Actually its making everyone who vacations in the ships life much easier and enjoyable. Your either really weird, really stupid, a troll, or all three.

Skylitfly They just listed about 5 reasons why this ship is easier and more enjoyable.

+SoN1NjA Definitely liberal.

Umm, it's a private cruise company. What would they spend their money on other than building/maintaining ships
