Booked an Alaska cruise without knowing much about the ship, but we absolutely loved the Quantum. Was our second Royal cruise. The first was on the Harmony, which we weren’t fond of. The Quantum is smaller, but has everything one could want on a cruise! It’s a beautiful ship and appeared well maintained. The service and food were excellent, with staff members who were kind and hard working. Loved ...
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 ...
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 ...
I just got off the Quantum a few days ago. Here are a few observations and my own personal perspective.
The ship is beautiful and the staff was awesome. Each and every crew member I interacted with was friendly and helpful.
Getting on board was easy and well managed. Getting off at the end of the cruise was also quick and easy. Be advised that if you intend to use Uber after the cruise ...
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. ...
From check-in to disembarkation - RCCL Ovation is a great vacation that you won't forget. Grateful for the onboard covid measures as the staff constantly wearing masks, cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting.
Lots of changes including how to "buffet' in the Windjammer but it works with staff serving. I commend RCCL & Ovation crew for dedicating their work to making a healthy & happy getaway ...
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 ...
