Being on Mariner of the cruise a couple of times with amazing experience , we opted for quantum of the seas (having seen it being advertised 4 years ago) for our maiden sailing experience with our extended family .
Pros :
-Quantum is beautifully built , she’s majestic , stylish , modern , clean and well maintained
Great cabin staff, spacious room despite limited area - good use of space
Great location - Patong beach is where Phuket comes to live . The time given is sufficient to explore Phuket comfortably within a day too.
Port was ok- quite close to Penang town and The Central areas. However turnaround time was a little tight which gives us little time to explore Penang in comfort
