Behind the Scenes: Royal Caribbean International's New Two70

You would be hard-pressed to find another cruise ship venue as wholly magnificent as Two70º is onboard Royal Caribbean International’s newest Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas.

The multipurpose room on Anthem was recently put through its paces by Nick Weir, vice president of entertainment for the cruise line, to demonstrate everything it can do, and it’s undeniably impressive.

Take a look for yourself by reading and watching behind the scenes. Of course, nothing can substitute for actually being onboard and experiencing it for yourself.

Observation Lounge and Stage;  Two70º is first a double-decker aft-facing observation lounge with beautiful 270-degree vistas overlooking the ship’s stern and wake by day. It is accurately described as a comfortable “living room,” complete with plenty of seating areas, a balcony, its own cafe, library and craft workshop. By night, it is transformed into an entertainment venue unlike any other at sea or on land, Las Vegas included.

Furniture then is temporarily put away to clear three main multi-level stage areas with a rotating cake lift that are populated not by a backstage but rather an over and understage which according to Weir is “a labyrinth of corridors and dressing rooms and prop rooms and connecting conduits.”

There are also six strategically placed torpedo tubes where actors are ejected from below and acrobats are lowered from above into the theater space, and the venue’s LED lamps and bar are computer controlled with adjustable hues.
