Quantum of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s newest ship sailing from Los Angeles on a 6-night Mexican Riviera cruise to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada. In this Quantum of the Seas cruise vlog, I share what it’s really like sailing from the Port of Los Angeles—including The Key perks, onboard experiences, and one thing you need to know before booking.
Quantum of the Seas has officially arrived in Los Angeles, sailing 6 nights to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada on a Royal Caribbean Mexican Riviera cruise. But is this the right ship for your next cruise from LA? This Quantum of the Seas cruise was full of unexpected twists—from battling a cold onboard to discovering the reality of the ship’s indoor pool and Solarium areas.
In this video, I’m sharing the real experience of sailing Quantum of the Seas from the Port of Los Angeles. We talk honestly about The Key perks, how we spent our time in Cabo at Solomon’s Landing, and why we stayed onboard during our Ensenada port day.
The most important takeaway from this cruise? The specialty dining hack that saved my vacation when I was too sick to leave my stateroom. If you want Jamie’s Italian delivered to your cabin, this is something you need to know.
