Ovation of the Seas Review

Huge ship that wastes its time with underwhelming features.

What a beautiful ship! She is new and huge. No rust or shoddy paint jobs on this beauty (yet).

BUT SO MANY GIMICKS.

I'll start with the biggest yet under whelming gimick - bionic robot bar tenders. After 10 minutes of frustration and very poor drinks we and nearly everyone else we spoke to (and witnessed) left that waste of space bar and sought out a real bartender. on the 3rd day of the cruise the poor old robots were entertaining parents with kids and that's about it. Get rid of it RCI they must cost a fortune and your passengers would rather engage with real bartenders. The dogem cars are a novelty but most people have been there done that at Ag Shows etc, and the roller skating was ho hum and over relegulated - all sharing the same space (along with basketball, soccer etc) and therefore time restricted. We didnt waste our time. Rock climbing wall is consigned to a small side of the ship - unlike voyager etc where your at the stern of ship and have a marvelous view when you conquer the climb. the flow rider and sky diving seemed to be - under utilised and used mainly by the same people - under 30.

Cabin Review

Ocean View Balcony

Cabin 1D

OK. Nice size but the bed is situated at the front of the cabin and no curtain to conceal bed from cabin door. No retractable line for clothes hanging in the bathroom and no light on the balcony.
