I always choose Cruising as a way of unwinding and letting someone else take care of me for a week.
Royal Caribbean never disappoints they are always ready to take care of your every need from an extra pillow to a gourmet meal. Ovation was no exception. The ship is majestic! The food and service sublime.
Start off with coffee and a feast for breakfast at the Windjammer. If you ...
RCL-Ovations of the Seas
July 28, 2023
My first cruise since the Covid Pandemic changed the world.
The hard part how do I sum up an outstanding couple of weeks into a short review? I do not know, but here goes.
I have traveled by cruise ship several times over the years and I must say that The Ovations of the Seas was not a disappointment, this ship is huge (I believe my husband said ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hubs and I had originally planned to take this cruise in August 2020 to celebrate my MBA graduation, but obviously that did not happen! So here we are two years later, almost to the day, finally able to sail. We were excited!
I was a little worried based on the reviews I have been reading about poor service, poor quality food, problems with ports, you name it. Lots of complaining everywhere. I ...
We spent 7 days on Ovations of the Sea on a round-trip cruise to Alaska from Seattle.
This was the first time on a cruise and the first time to Alaska for me and my 2 girls - such an amazing place to visit, with beautiful views, wildlife and lots of fun stories from locals :)
The ship has very many entertainment options and is definitely a great choice for families with kids. Climbing wall, ...
We have been to Alaska twice before and had a credit to use, found an accessible room so off we went.
Plenty to do or just relax. Weather was cool-dress in layers.
Food was good and entertainment was enjoyable.
Enjoyed the Diamond lounge before dinner and love the 5 free drinks for Diamond plus status. Also love getting coffee in the mornings.
Had very nice table mates at late setting. ...
We are veteran cruisers but have previously been on only one other RCCL ship, the Oasis of the Seas. Most often we sail Celebrity.Because of having earned Elite+ status on Captain's Club we were fortunate to utilize Diamond level Crown & Anchor perks on this voyage. Like so many others we had cruises cancelled due to COVID and we were very eager to sail again.My husband had never visited Alaska ...
Booked 3 weeks prior to sailing it was a screaming deal! Got double points, and were on our way to getting Diamond status. We are From Oregon so easy drive up I5 to Seattle.The food is good. But I s it great? ( Not really) However you can find find good food it’s just maybe not quite as good as some of the other ships I have been on for sure but I was very happy with the food. Don’t listen to the ...
Just got off a last minute Alaska cruise on Ovation of the Seas. It was fantastic. Only 1342 guests on a ship that holds up to 4800. We got lucky with incredibly good weather for this time of year in Alaska. It was rainy and windy the weeks before and a big storm is coming in this next weekend. The boat felt perfect for the number of guests. There were 1300 crew, only 200 less than when the ...
