Ovation of the Seas Review
Major Disappointment with All Mighty Ship first time in Australia
Rating by category
Additional details
We chose this cruise to experience one of the Quantum All Mighty Ships to hit Australia for the first time.
Firstly the ship stayed in port in Sydney for two days to promote the ship and to allow the travel agents on board. We were told Darmi Imm was to perform on the ship and we thought it was to promote the ship and possibly some fireworks on the overnight stay and she did perform but only for the media. So we were docked in Sydney overnight just for the ship to be promoted.
Staterooms were lovely and well layed out BUT it stops there. Big flat screen which played only ONE episode and the same episode everyday 10 times a day and when you are stuck out to see for 8-10 days you get sick of watching the same thing over and over and over again. Movies were on offer for US$12.00 a pop which is outrageous when Princess Cruises were offering the latest movies for free and the touch of a button on your stateroom tv.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom with Virtual Balcony
Cabins were lovely, not enough cupboard hanging space for two adults.
Towels were replaced on a daily basis, twice a day, shower screen was wiped down on a daily basis also but the cabin was never dusted, there was 1" of dust when we left.
Port Reviews
Sydney (Australia)
Stayed in Sydney over night - disappointing.
Dunedin
Did go to Dunedin due to bad weather yet we found out that Radiance of the Seas managed to go to Dunedin so if the weather was dangerous for us why wasn't it dangerous for the Radiance.
Wellington
Walked around and did some shopping, Museum was amazing.
Auckland
Walked around
Hobart
Just walked around Hobart.
