The Ovation is one big massive ship. Overall, the ship is beautiful , all designed with the latest modern technology, furnishing , colour tone and facilities. Nothing really to complain about the service, cleanliness and dining options. The food at Windjammer was good, offering variety and i must say despite it being the crazy school holiday week in Singapore, the crowd at windjammer with kids and all can be nuts, but the staff kept their cool and even offered great service.

Sad to say, the Grand Dining Hall is now spilt into 4 different smaller restaurants which serves the same menu (was also meant to serve different cuisine but i guess RC couldnt cope?) . The food offered is below par compared to the Marina and Voyager and service also was not as great compared to those ships. I guess this concept must be reviewed by RC. I like all the modern stuff with the Ovation, dont get me wrong. But when it comes to the grand dining, formal nights, it is still a delight to dine in the classic style 3 level dining hall. Furthermore the bigger space offers more flexibility for RCL with the allocation.

The food menu didnt even include the classic shrimp cocktail and cheese platter - it was all very simple . deserts were just like similar desserts taken from Windjammer?
