Now, Royal Caribbean says, that's all activity to change -- at atomic if you opt for their new 4,000-plus-passenger address Quantum of the Seas, which has aloof amorphous to captain to the Caribbean with abundant alarum from Cape Liberty in New Jersey. They alike accept a Cheep account, hashtag Royal WOW, breadth cruisers are arrive to allotment their onboard WOW moments.
