South Pacific Ovation of the Seas South Pacific Cruise Reviews

To be honest, 14 days would have been plenty enough aboard this ship. Also, my first time sailing with RC, I can tell you beforehand I'm extremely satisfied and booked another RC cruise with a shorter duration, Getting on in Honolulu was easy enough, they had me apply for NZ and AUS visa on my phone in the cruise terminal before boarding, they informed me that I would need to disembark without ...

This was by far the largest ship we had ever been on, and the longest cruise, so we were a little apprehensive. By and large the ship handled the number of people well - it was only the first day when everyone was out and about exploring that we felt a little jostled by the crowds. The other time was getting off and on at port stops. There were lines to get off, even as an independent ...

This was my second cruise with RCI after my first on Quantum last December. I have been cruising since the mid-60s and have been fortunate to have completed over fifty trips on over twenty different cruise lines With the arrival in Australia of the two Quantum class ships I thought it was time to give RCI a go. It has been an interesting experience but something I don't see myself ...

We chose ovation of seas for convenience to sail off from Sydney. This is our first cruise experience. Hats off to the Staff , they were dedicated and smiling ! Balcony rooms are reasonable. The activities are very good. Not many movies though. Screening movies in the pool deck is a waste of time. Too noisy. We enjoyed everything on board the cruise except food. We are vegetarians. The food was ...

The Transpacific cruise had been on our bucket list for a while and we booked it in 2019, then Covid hit and we kept pushing it forward until Australia opened up their borders. The Ovation of the Seas is a lovely ship and the largest we have ever been on. Overall the sailing was good, although having 12 sea days (only 5 ports of call with one stay over) is a bit tough. We love cruising, but ...

First time on Ovation ( reason we booked ), so mainly went for the ride, which strangely turned out that way. We journeyed to tip of New Zealand, turned around and came back to Sydney due to Covid 19 problems around the world. As far as we knew no one had it on the ship, that is till we all got off and went home and 3 days later told one Canadian was infectious last 2 days. So at the moment I ...

We were booked for 11 nights, 12 days for a round trip Australia to New Zealand. We were supposed to stop along the way at Mystery Island and New Caledonia before reaching NZ. However combination of a tropical cyclone and Coronavirus meant we did a round trip from Sydney and spent 6 nights, 7 days on board. All praise to the captain and crew for looking after passengers well being, the crew ...

We chose this cruise as we had been on Ovation previously, and knew it would provide enough entertainment for our kids and grandkids. Although the grandkids (five of them, aged 4 to 15) did not go to the kids club, there was enough on the ship to keep them engaged and happy. Embarkation in Sydney went without a hitch, and by 11.30 we had found a table in the Windjammer and had our first ...

We were family group of 23 on this cruise, ages ranging from 79 to 5. There were many large family groups, which was great, as it was Australian school holidays. This was our 5th cruise with RC. The check-in and bag drop in Sydney on embarkation was seamless and easy. The ship is huge! Our cabins were spacious and very clean. We had a lovely balcony which added to the spaciousness of ...

I went for the 10 night cruise to the South Pacific Islands and NZ on the ovation of the seas and it was a great trip. We had the oceanview balcony stateroom on Deck 8, this stateroom was a great size for the two of us with my partner and my-self. The queen bed was very comfortable, TV size was great that sits on the wall in front of the bed, a couch to sit on, good size balcony with the lounge ...
