Not sure if this goes here or in the Lounge.
Royal Caribbean's latest ship sports a robot bar, super-fast connectivity

Assuming you weren't traveling on the Carnival Ecstasy or Crown Princess, your last cruise ship probably had flushing toilets and 24/7 electricity, but not much else in the way of tech amenities. Royal Caribbean's latest vessel, the Quantum of the Seas, promises so much more. We've already met the ship's Virtual Balconies, which use 80-inch displays to bring a live sea view to windowless staterooms, but the company just announced a slew of other features, including a new venue called Bionic Bar where you can place an order on a tablet and watch a robotic bartender mix up your concoction.
No word on whether the theme from
The Six Million Dollar Man will be playing in the Bionic Bar.
There's only one other paragraph, but the 21 pictures at the link are the story . . .

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
