They may not be Tom Cruise but these robot bartenders can mix cocktails, as one of a number of high-tech innovations designed to entice guests on board Quantum and Anthem of the Seas.

Royal Caribbean International’s (RCI) new ships will include a Bionic Bar where passengers will be served drinks that are ordered via tablets, which will be given to every crew member.

But robot bartenders won't be the only futuristic gimmick on board.

Passengers who have only booked indoor cabins will apparently still be able to experience sea views from their rooms on the ships, albeit virtual ones. Virtual balconies will display real-time sights and sounds through 80-inch LED screens.

Other digital enhancements to the latest cruise liners – both Quantum class ships – include an online check-in procedure that RCI claims will take only 10 minutes with no queues; a tracking service for luggage and digital wristbands that serve not only as keys to get into cabins but also can be used to make purchases around the ship.

Royal iQ is an informative app and cruise calendar that can be downloaded on board ship and answers questions that passengers might have.

The on board wi-fi, we are promised, will operate with an “industry-leading bandwidth, with speeds that match fast broadband connections onshore, allowing guests to be online 24/7 no matter what personal device they bring onboard.”

Live gaming should appeal to teenagers, while the entertainment programme is enhanced by six “Roboscreens” that will stage “surprise performances” during every cruise. Vistarama, meanwhile, is a set of floor-to-ceiling windows that turns into a wall of screens that will host impromptu digital shows showing virtual or real-life scenes combining up to 18 projectors.

The ships will also, it is claimed, be more environmentally-friendly due to gadgets such as motion-sensor lighting and other energy saving deivices.

“The new technologies make things possible at sea that could never have been done before," said Stuart Leven, managing director at RCI. "The Robot bartenders, RFID luggage tracking devices and Roboscreens, among others, are complete game-changers for the industry and we’re confident that guests will be blown away when they step onboard.”

Quantum of the Seas and sister Anthem of the Seas will debut in Southampton in April 2015.
