This low level shot of the 168666 Gross Ton Cruise ship Quantum of the Seas from a position off her Port Bow using a telephoto lens, does not do justice to the size and length of this very impressive cruise ship. Owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International, built in Germany and Registered in the Bahamas, she is capable of accommodating 4905 passengers and 1500 crew. This image of her was captured from the deck of a Blue Funnel Pleasure Cruiser in Southampton's Western Docks in the early evening of the 2nd of November 2014 which was the date of her Maiden Cruise from Southampton.
