seconds after finishing placing
his order, Ecruising.travel founder
and chairman Brett Dudley saw
his cocktail creation mixed and
served up by Royal Caribbean’s
robot bartenders during a tour of
Quantum of the Seas in Singapore.
The entirely automated process
on the futuristic ship takes about
a minute from putting in an order
to collecting the beverage.
Up to 1,000 drinks per day can
be made by each of the two
robots, which feature in their
own bar on each of the three RCI
Quantum-class ships.
Dudley found that technology
is king on Quantum of the Seas,
with everything from wayfinding through to booking restaurants
and shore excursions all digital
and paid via a wristband.
“The wifi on-board is stronger
than every cruise ship in the
world put together,” Dudley told
Cruise Weekly, clearly impressed.
He enthused that upon the
arrival to Sydney late next year of
Quantum’s sister ship Ovation of
the Seas, a “whole new level of
cruising” will be introduced to the
Australian public.
Dudley is pictured above left

Caribbean Cruises Ltd national
sales manager Peter McCormack.
