Generally it is the superyacht industry that is at the cutting edge when it comes to technology at sea improving the life of guests on board. But it looks as if on this occasion, the Royal Caribbean ships Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas may have stolen a march on the superyacht.
The two ships are to do away with the barman and instead will carry a Bionic Bar. It is the first bar with robot bartenders not just at sea, but anywhere in the world.
This must-try interactive experience begins when guests order via tablets and then have fun watching the robotic bartenders hard at work mixing and delivering cocktails of choice
The Quantum class ships are also using technology that might also catch on with superyacht designers and builders. Guest staterooms are equipped with Virtual Balconies that display real-time sights and sounds of the sea through 80-inch LED screens, ensuring every stateroom has a view.
