Ovation of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Our party of four 60-somethings, including my husband and I and my sister and her husband, chose this sailing because we wanted the new, state-of-the-art Ovation and a shorter (one week) itinerary. I am our group's unofficial "travel agent," making all of our plans. We all live in Central Florida.
After booking, I noticed an avalanche of bad reviews for Ovation on Cruise Critic. We were expecting a lot less than this gorgeous ship actually provided.
Food: We ate dinner in the Main Dining Room, Coastal Kitchen, Charlie's and Jamie's. Only Jamie's disappointed--menu is not health-oriented, and decor is very plain. Others were awesome. I never had a problem getting a table at the Windjammer, and food there was pretty standard (and good) RCCL.
Cabin Review
Grand Suite with Large Balcony - 1 Bedroom
We had a Grand Suite with a large balcony. Honestly, it was a little too cold and windy in Alaska to get much use out of the balcony. The suite was perfect--divided into a small bedroom, a small living room, and a nice, large bathroom with a very good bathtub. There is so much closet space, a lit vanity, plenty of USB ports, US-style plugs, a hairdryer, toiletries, and a door bell. Cannot complain about suite life.
