Royal Caribbean today announced that it has

"It is such a pleasure to announce the order of another Quantum-class ship as we
are welcoming Anthem of the Seas to North America," said Richard D. Fain,

with excitement, and performed exceptionally well, across the globe. We fully
expect that momentum to continue as we add to this innovative class of ships."
"At Royal Caribbean we are focused on continuously improving efficiency and
sustainability, and the fifth Quantum class vessel will be clear evidence of
this," said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.
"Of equal importance is our ability to consistently surpass guest expectations,
and we are harnessing the power of the latest technology to do so on this ship."
