Water Leak Creates Indoor Waterfall on Quantum of the Seas
Guests aboard Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas experienced an unexpected indoor waterfall due to a leak in a public stairwell. Video footage shared on Reddit shows water pooling in the stairwell, which began during a storm near Cabo San Lucas. However, guests indicated that the leak was caused by a burst pipe near the men's restroom at the midship elevators. The exact date of the incident is unclear, with some suggesting it occurred closer to August 25, 2026. Crew members quickly contained the situation, and there were no reported changes to the ship's itineraries following the incident.
