With Ovation doing just a handful of sailings from England before moving East I took the opportunity to book 2 cruises on her. This review is of both cruises.
The first was her very first cruise, (which was not the Maiden therefore we didn't get any free stuff!) and was 3 days to Rotterdam and back, and my next cruise was 7 nights from Southampton to Barcelona.
I caught the train to Southampton for both and it is a simple 12 minute walk to the port.
