Have you ever wondered what it’s like to go skydiving without actually jumping out of a plane? Now’s your chance to feel the rush.

A favorite among guests, this adrenaline-amping attraction is also kid-friendly — so bring the little ones along for some zero-gravity fun.

2. Snap And Soak Up Panoramic Views From The North Star

After your epic skydiving session, take to the skies for real in North Star, a viewing capsule that lifts you 300 feet above sea level. In addition to being one of the Quantum Class’s top-rated onboard activities, North Star also holds the Guinness World Record as the tallest viewing deck on a cruise ship. A gentle ride in this engineering marvel yields 360-degree views of the sea and the surrounding sights. It’s also completely free.

If you’re dining with the whole family, opt for the Kao Yu simmer pot. A Sichuan Red classic, it’s loaded with veggies, tofu, and deep-fried fish in a spicy, aromatic broth.

5. Settle In For A Dazzling Show At Two70
