We had a wonderful cruise on the Ovation of the Seas in June. Yes the Embarkation was long and not to time schedule originally given so this was a little frustrating. But from the moment we got on board everything was wonderful. The ship is amazing and modern. It never felt like 4500 people were on board as there as many spaces that you can go to and sit. The Solarium was wonderful (Children free), and the pool area I called a sitting pool so even if you cannot swim you can get in and sit and enjoy it as everyone else does. The North Star was amazing and the Bumper Cars just fun. I would highly recommend this ship. The service of the Cabin was brilliant, the service at the restaurants were brilliant. The Schooner Bar was the best. We would happily be back on this Ship tomorrow. Thank you Royal Caribbean we had a great holiday.
