Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas Cruise Reviews

This was our 2nd cruise. Our 1st one was a Disney cruise, that put this cruise to shame. The beds were hard the maid picked up anything and everything that was on the floor onto the kids bed/couch. Not very good cleaning service. Plus my bling belt went missing and I know it was in my room because I didn’t change my clothes anywhere else aside from my room. When I went to report it they had ...

This was our 2nd time cruising RC and our first cruise to Alaska. We booked a little last minute after other summer vacation plans fell through. First, the pros: The ship is beautiful! We absolutely loved the public spaces and there seemed to be ample seating for the different shows and activities. My two teenagers loved the teen activities and participated in most of them. The 3 pools were ...

I always choose Cruising as a way of unwinding and letting someone else take care of me for a week. Royal Caribbean never disappoints they are always ready to take care of your every need from an extra pillow to a gourmet meal. Ovation was no exception. The ship is majestic! The food and service sublime. Start off with coffee and a feast for breakfast at the Windjammer. If you ...

RCL-Ovations of the Seas July 28, 2023 My first cruise since the Covid Pandemic changed the world. The hard part how do I sum up an outstanding couple of weeks into a short review? I do not know, but here goes. I have traveled by cruise ship several times over the years and I must say that The Ovations of the Seas was not a disappointment, this ship is huge (I believe my husband said ...

Travelled with family to Alaska on RC. This was our first time cruising. We had a balcony which was great for viewing the scenery & wildlife. We had a soft drinks package & bought a few cocktails & some wine, which worked well for us. Paid for gratuities in advance, so we did not need to worry about tipping at the end. Enjoyed the photographer on board & purchased a package. The food was ...

We had been to Alaska on a Princess cruise about 10 years ago and loved it so we chose an Alaskan cruise to travel with our grandkids so that we could make memories to last a lifetime! We chose the Ovation for the ship activities to keep them busy when we were not touring in port. The ship was great...the kids roller skated, did rock climbing several times, took the sushi making class which ...

Let me start by saying that I would give this cruise 4.5 stars if the system would allow. This cruise was amazing overall with just a few quibbles here and there. Embarkation: Was nervous because I heard Seattle is a madhouse (or awesome, depending on who you ask) but we had an early check-in time and were on the ship in no time. Food: We ate most dinners in the main dining room (my time ...

* Background Information Full disclosure: I am a travel agent. I received free WiFi and $50 onboard credit for completing my Master of Adventure certification with RCI. My room was booked as part of a large group with my agency but not at a travel agent personal rate. In total, we had 67 staterooms and 144 people traveling. In my own party we had 11 adults and 1 infant across six staterooms. ...

We traveled with friends that thought Disney cruises were too expensive. But we found you get what you pay for. Pros - times in port were great - big ship - Solarium adult area very nice - indoor pool, nice for Alaskan cruise - friendly staff Cons - timing of shows versus dinner made enjoying both hard - shows (while well performed) didn’t really have stories. They ...

We decided on an Alaskan cruise to celebrate our 20th anniversary. As per the title, this was our first Alaskan cruise, and after over a dozen Caribbean cruises, it was finally time to try something different. It was also our first time on a Quantum class ship, so we were looking forward to new experiences on and off the ship. Overall we enjoyed the ship and the itinerary, pictures and words are ...
