I must confess I have never been a big of cruising.  I always associated them with large ships with buffets and cheesy music. Then again, you can't really judge something until you've tried it. Last November, I had the opportunity to board the second sailing of Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas. I was intrigued when I started to read about all the unique things this cruise has to offer.
