1) An extremely tragic unexpected family death Nov. 28, so my daughter, very distressed, phoned shore to ship 3 times that evening from the scene to speak with us - left 3 messages with telephonist but none were passed on to us. Our phone light flashed & said 3 missed calls - when we rang Guest Services told just kids, although I insisted time frame between calls far too long for kids, also ...

A family of 4, 2 Adults & 2 kids, we boarded in Singapore for a 14 night cruise to Sydney. The first 5 days between Singapore and Perth were defiantly the best leg of the journey. The weather was lovely and allowed us to explore the ship and enjoy the activities. There were many pros and cons for this cruise but the pros did out weigh the cons. Pros: * Our cabin (cat D1) was lovely and ...

we wanted to experience the new best thing but were disappointed. the main dinning rooms lacked grandeur and a feeling of luxury. Public spaces were to small and poorly located. If you don't get there early don't bother. Schooner bar for example is the same size as smaller ships. The cruise director was a little flat and his staff lacked personality and engagement, seemed to want to get things ...

Loved the entertainment. Really top shows ( much better quality than Princess line). Lots to do for all age groups. Food was great. Celebrated my sister's birthday in Wonderland restaurant. Absolutely sensational. Loved the roller skating and bumper cars but times were too short and shouldve been open much longer especially as they use these actives so heavily in their promo. As we cruised ...

We joined the Ovation of the Seas in Singapore, and check in was well organised, it took only 45 minutes to go through immigration and into our stateroom. We were happy with our balcony room, on deck 11, plenty of storage. Luggage took some time to arrive and one item was missing for some reason, but eventually retrieved by us from deck 2. From then on we were in for some unpleasant surprises. ...

Good ship and cruise, but with a couple of negatives

The ship itself is good, well laid out with plenty of bars and places to relax both in and out of the sun. One criticism of this aspect though – the large Solarium (the adults only area) is entirely enclosed, so if you want to sit in the sun in peace and quiet you can’t (unless some of the glass panels are retractable). The cabin (deck 6, balcony) seemed a trifle narrower than usual, but it was ...

We wanted to see the new ship for ourselves first impressions were all good, new ship, new layout, fresh, clean stylish. cabin layouts are a clever use of space, same size as other RC ships but the cupboards are built in around the bed so the rooms look and feel much bigger. clear plastic shower screens were great as you no longer feel so enclosed even though the size is about the ...

Poorly managed ship

Despite being a great ship, the Ovation is let down by the poor management and associated service. It should be a jewel in the crown, rather than deadweight on the anchor. The first sign that things were amiss was the handling of bags after boarding. Every cruise I have been on bags usually appear a couple hours after lunch or the late afternoon at worst. RC managed to ferret our bags away ...

Large modern ship with pizzazz, but is disjointed.

The Ovation is a large modern ship with numerous activities built in. All over the ship there are things to do, or that's how it might seem. The ship appears to have everything a cruiser would want. It has the usual RCI flow rider, rockwall (poor), many pools, Spas(Whirlpools) and a wonderful Solarium as well as the Seaplex, a marvelous area in which nearly every active sport is played ...

November 20 2017 our first RC cruise....and our last! From the moment you board their hands are out. We boarded in Singapore for a 6 night cruise to Fremantle, Western Australia, our 7th cruise, so I speak in Aus dollars. To be fair, the cabins are well laid out but don't expect anything resembling normal hotel fair - no bottled water, no shampoo, no conditioner and no coffee. Even though they ...
