Review for a South Pacific Cruise on Ovation of the Seas

The trip would be interesting because we had not been on one of the bigger RC ships to date and also it would be a sample of how Vanuatu and New Caledonia were shaping up after the over two years with no cruise passengers and their money. Things were ominous at Sydney Terminal when we were handed a sheet of paper advising that Mystery Island was cancelled because of wharf repairs. The rumour ...

This was a cruise we finally got to take after first making reservations in 2019. I do not usually review cruises we have been on but as the end of cruise evaluation provided by RC did not allow me to discuss some of my concerns I thought I would give it a try. First the positives: It is a beautiful ship and the staff we interacted with were all great. Our cabin attendant, Jackie, was first ...

So Disappointing

Disappointing for many reasons: 1. They are closing Windjammer Cafe every night at 8.40pm!!!! Unbelievable!! All the food is put away & doors at closed by 8.30pm. No longer can u wander in after a show & have a late night supper, cup of coffee, drink & chat with friends. 2. We are in a suite & have access to Coastal Kitchen. However, ZERO catering for vegetarians. It’s a joke. Tomato soup & ...

Review for a Transpacific Cruise on Ovation of the Seas

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

The Transpacific cruise had been on our bucket list for a while and we booked it in 2019, then Covid hit and we kept pushing it forward until Australia opened up their borders. The Ovation of the Seas is a lovely ship and the largest we have ever been on. Overall the sailing was good, although having 12 sea days (only 5 ports of call with one stay over) is a bit tough. We love cruising, but ...

My mom chose this cruise for me, and I had been on it before, so despite me trying to have little to no expectations I got more excited as it approached, and prepared and packed gleefully hoping it would be as good as before the pandemic. Leading up to the big embarkation day was a bit stressful with COVID tests and going into another country, not to mention packing smartly and everything ...

Oct. Sept. 29th, my husband and I boarded the Ovation out of Vancouver and ending in Sydney Australia. It started out badly as it took over 1.5 hours to get on due to the long queue in Security. The worst part of our cruise was the food. From the menu in the dining room to the choices in the Windjammer. What was available in the Windjammer was below average for taste and variety and those were ...

Great Getaway on the Repositioning Cruise to Hawaii

This was a 9 night cruise with 5 days at sea. Beginning in Vancouver with stops in Seattle, Maui and Oahu where we got off, its final journey was to Australia. Ship was beautiful, about 65% full and still felt a little crowded though I do not think we waited in line for anything. Being a Diamond Members we have sailed on many different ships, this Quantum Class ship is really geared for ...

Disappointing Overall

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Ovation of the Seas

Chose this cruise to use up our credits from a previously cancelled cruise due to COVID. Chose Alaska since it wouldn't require us to fly to the port. As we were boarding, we were given an updated itinerary that stated we wouldn't be cruising the glacier due to "lack of sunlight". Royal should be able to figure out if they can offer a cruise or not due to lack of sunlight! It felt like a ...

Good cruise, but will probably go back to Carnival

Just to get this out of the way, this was our 23rd cruise, 6th on Royal. Quantum class of ships is my favorite for RCCL. Big enough to have a separate Music Hall but not to have to require reservations for shows like the Oasis class ships. Selected this voyage as it is one of the few that spends a full day in Victoria, BC. However, it skips Ketchican. Very few kids on the ship which was another ...

Okay. Y'all had me really worried after I had booked and read your reviews. Like, I was even calling Royal Caribbean to ask about their cancellation policy. Turned out that we had an absolutely amazing time and agree that it was one of our best cruises yet. We selected the 11am boarding time (first available) because we have a three year old daughter and didn't want to risk waiting in line for ...
