Boarding Quantum of the Seas from Shanghai Baoshan

Beauty Queen
Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal
Shanghai Baoshan is now home for Quantum of the Seas. Quantum class is probably the most modern and it has best technology on the ship. Although Quantum is not the biggest like Oasis however this beauty queen is huge enough to carry more than 4,000 people on board!!

Many foreigner may concern about getting to port from where ever you are in Shanghai. Wusongkou cruise terminal can access by local metro and exit from Baoyang Station. I took taxi from my hotel where I stay in Hongqiao and it cost around CNY120 which will drop me directly inside the cruise terminal. Metro is cheap however it may take sometime to reach as well as you need a ride from station to port. Not very convenient for those people who has luggage with them. Therefore, taxi is best transportation to cruise terminal.

People at cruise terminal do speak English well and no doubt there is special lane for international passenger!! Yippy!! As soon as I approach into the international passenger entrance. I was able to walk and pass all Chinese as they are wait to check themselves in. I was issue a SeaPass card immediately since I did online check-in ahead of time. I noticed that my SeaPass card somehow written in Chinese! No doubt because we are minority as majority is Chinese. After check-in complete then we proceed directly to immigration as we are exiting China. After pass though immigration, all vacationer proceed to a walk way prior to entering the ship. This is where you have to submit your passport as they will be collect by RCCL staff.

My stateroom with balcony locate on Deck 9 middle of the ship. The reason I choose middle of the ship because is near to the elevator. Some stateroom need to walk long way down the corridor to reach which I wouldn't fancy that.

Dynamic Dining was amazing as you don't really have to line up if you already have a reservation. Make sure you be at the restaurant on time otherwise table will be release to someone else.
Since it's a winter cruise so not many outdoor activity happen. However Quantum of the Seas do have indoor swimming pool and other indoor activity for vacationer to enjoy. Overall not as bad as what I expected.
