Explore Brisbane, AustraliaCaptain's TipYour cruise departs from Brisbane, Australia on the Quantum of the Seas, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Brisbane is especially appealing if you enjoy outdoor living, casual dining, and cities that feel open rather than overwhelming.

This casual, complimentary hotspot bustles 24 hours a day, so you can drop by any time — whether it’s for a steaming cup of coffee and a warm glazed cinnamon bun in the morning, or late-night bites like fried artichoke, spicy marinated cheese, and savory meatballs.
ADDITIONAL COST
Join an intimate group of fellow foodies on a private epicurean journey led by the ship’s Chef de Cuisine. You’ll sit down to a white tablecloth dinner spotlighting five exquisite courses, each expertly paired with the perfect wine to highlight every flavor on the menu.

For more than a decade, the chefs at Chops Grille have specialized in serving up quality, hand-cut meat.

INCLUDED IN FARE
Exclusively for suite guests and Pinnacle Club members, Coastal Kitchen fuses Mediterranean influences with farm-fresh flavors from California. Filled with Pacific Coast favorites and Med-inspired entrees, the menu here rotates to spotlight delicious, seasonal ingredients.
