Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas

North Star - 
This first-of-a-kind attraction will feature a 15-passenger enclosed glass pod, which resembles those on the London Eye. The pod will gently lift passengers 300 feet over the sea. Depending on the ship's position, they'll enjoy ocean or port views. North Star is a complimentary experience in many cases. For a price, though, it can be reserved for private events or celebrations. For example, the romantic at heart might consider reserving the gondola as a setting to pop the question or even exchange vows. 
Bionic Bar - 
The first smart ship at sea, Quantum boasts the first robotic wait staff as well. the Bionic Bar will feature bartending robots that take orders and special requests via smart tablets.

The Sports Deck skydiving simulator offers an exhilarating wind tunnel free fall. Passengers receive flight training instructions before suiting up. The daring can sign up for advanced lessons and maneuvers.
Dynamic Dining - 
No main dining room, no set dining times and no formal nights means complete dining flexibility for Quantum of the Seas guests. Five separate main restaurants offer their own unique experience. Old World classics will be on the menu in The Grande. Pan-Asian fusion will be offered in Silk, while Coastal Kitchen will offer a fusion of Mediterranean meets California. Guests seeking classic American comfort food will find it at American Icon Grill. And for those who enjoy upscale contemporary cuisine, they'll find it in the aptly named Chic.
Virtual Balconies
The interior stateroom becomes a room with a view on Quantum of the Seas. Virtual Balconies display a high-definition live video feed of the outside view The virtual balcony's "sea view" is displayed on a floor-to-ceiling wall screen that can be open or closed.
Bumper Cars
Not everything onboard Quantum of the Seas is high-tech and futuristic. There is good old fashioned fun at Seaplex, the largest indoor activity space at sea. Bumper cars are expected to be a popular option for passengers of all ages.
Vistarama
The wall of windows more than two stories high is the center point of Two70. The immense lounge, caf, performance space is part living room, part high-tech theater. Vistaramas panoramic ocean views are impressive for sure. But when projection screens in front of it unfold, the windows become a stunning digital backdrop.
Wonderland
Quantum of the Seas' take on molecular cuisine is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Inventive fantasy selections are based on five elements: wind, ice, fire, earth and dreams.  Passengers should prepare for flash-frozen ice cream, spicy tuna cones, sriracha eggs and elixirs that appear in plumes of smoke.
Circus School
Another Seaplex feature is the cruise industry's first "circus school at sea." Professional acrobats will teach passengers the art of trapeze. With just a bit of instruction, guests will learn to soar through the air with the greatest of ease. 
 WowBands
Key cards are a thing of the past for passengers who rather not be bothered. They can simply snap on their WowBand instead.  The royal blue rubber wrist band features a digital chip that opens doors and records guest purchases.
