Fresh, new ship. Great variety of activities. Great food and service.

We booked a last minute deal (5 days before sailing!) at a bargain price. We picked this sailing more to experience the “ship” as opposed to the ports. We are “Diamond” travellers with RCI (7th cruise with RCI and 11th cruise in total) and this was our first cruise on Ovation. EMBARKATION Having booked so close to sail date, our paperwork was not available to us prior to departure. This ...

We had a great cruise, but it was crowded. The ship takes your breath away when you first see it close up and inside is pretty flash as well. Floors at the bottom have theatres, shopping, eateries, bars, photo lab etc. and the upper floors have the pool areas, eateries and the seaplex which is a great space for dodgems, roller skating, basketball, soccer, table tennis, air hockey, games arcade, ...

Sailed on 9 night cruise to NZ from Sydney and back. Embarkation was a bit chaotic. Dropping off luggage and checking in at terminal not an issue but lack of information when getting on ship. Basically boarded and not given any information (ie. where to get room cards - later discovered that it did say on set sail pass that it was on your stateroom door). It would have been nice to have some ...

Living in Sydney for my whole life, and only travelling to countries by plane pretty much called out for a new experience to go on a cruise. This cruise caught our attention at first as it was on sale and i had never been to new zealand which was ultimately the country my dad grew up in. In regards to shore excursions, i would say that it was quite disappointing as it was scheduled that we ...

Excellent in many respects, only lacking in a few areas

We chose such a large ship as we were advised there would be plenty for our teenagers to do on board. We were keen to see the south island of New Zealand and really enjoyed our RC shore excursions in Dunedin and Wellington and travelling through Milford Sound and the other Sounds. Unfortunately a storm meant we didn't stop in Picton and the ship took a different route back to avoid very choppy ...

Our 4th cruise with Royal Caribbean, first time on Ovation of the Seas. Staff on other ships seemed much more interested, and committed to the cruise. This time, we had 3 different staff members tell me they couldn't wait to get off and finish their contracts. Way more unsupervised children than ever before. We have been on other cruises with more children in school holidays (1200), but ...

We cruised on Explorer of the Seas to the South Pacific in a Grand Suite. Concierge George was very friendly, always on time for priority embarkation and shore excursions. He would personally escort you via the Staff elevator, and it kept going for the whole port day! The main dining room was amazing and had plenty of delicious choices and great waitstaff. Our suite attendant was very helpful, and ...

We did a South Pacific Cruise with Royal Caribbean on their Explorer of the Seas ship this year. We had a Junior Suite Cabin - Deck 10, Cabin 1628. This was an excellent, spacious cabin and our cabin attendant said it was one of the best on the deck - thanks to booking early (about a year ahead). The cabin had a couch and two armchairs and a lovely balcony. A very big walk in robe was also great ...

We sailed on RCCL’s Radiance of the Seas for 28 days from January 3 to 31, 2018. This was two 14-day back-to-back cruises that took us from Australia to New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, both islands of New Zealand, and back to Australia. First let me say that the ship’s staff and managers worked very hard to please. Airline employees are experts at saying “no,” while RCCL’s employees try very hard ...

We were looking forward to a fun, party type atmosphere like we have had recently on Explorer, Rhapsody and Celebrity Solstice. Those ships had dancing almost every night to a really uptempo band playing great dance music and there was either a party in the public area or the nightclub was pumping. This voyage had a largely young to youngish age group looking to have fun at night but the ...
