Great ship that is well maintained, with lots to do especially if you are young and mobile. We are still on this ship headed to Sydney, and in an inside cabin again which we will never do again because of the toilet flushing noise which is a design fault, but they do offer you ear plugs. On the cruise out of Hong Kong we were on level 10 below the kids club which resulted in us being unable to go back to the cabin during the day with the kids jumping and running around, and of course the toilet flushing that occurs during waking hours starting at about 5.00am - we complained a few times and were moved to a quite balcony cabin. This time, and for the last time, in an inside cabin again - no issues with other ships, but the Ovation has a major design flaw with the plumbing !!

Very friendly staff, especially the Captain, Hotel Director, waiters and even our stateroom attendant which I met after 6 days.

Would book again on this ship, but not an inside cabin - so diminishing value for money.
