When my partner and I cruised the Caribbean on Oasis last year - we were so excited had a great time that we decided to book a second cruise - on the new Ovation of the seas
The ship itself is wonderful. It is large, modern, great decor, casino is well organised, and the two-seventy area is magnificent. They even had a sports bar that’s always open for games - unlike the Oasis.
The onboard ...
I was excited to do this cruise because it was going to Asia where I’d never been before. I thoroughly enjoyed Singapore and would like to visit again sometime. We arrived on ship and settled in our cabins. Unfortunately I found the cabin quite noisy at night. We could hear the toilets being flushed and people walking in the corridor, this disturbed our sleep.
The dining experience was an ...
.This was the last leg of our 41 days of cruising on the Ovation. My wife and I grew very fond of the ship, on this being our last cruise, we really hated to go.
Found the food and dining in the main dining areas of Chic and Grande was excellent.
We like the Pixels show that was performed in the Two-270 to be interesting and entertaining. The ship also put on Crown and Anchor shows for ...
The whole time we were on board we were bombarded with the benefits of using Royal Caribbean’s excursions. We were ‘Blackmailed’ into using their excursions by being told we could not get off the boat in time to see the Seoulunless we used heir transport which was proven to be wrong once we docked, some people even cancelled pre-booked trips on the strength of what we were told. It cost 65$ each ...
We had several issues in this trip but the ones that really worth a review are the food and the shore excursions. This was by far the worst food I've ever experienced on a ship, it's not only way below RCCL standards, but it's below any cruise line standards as well. This was beyond low quality, it's border line with a lack of respect for the passengers, I could not even relate the food to a ...
Long waits for dining
Long waits to go on land for tour
Poorly organised tours
Food not available 24 hrs and if so all pastries and highly unhealthy foods
Cancellation of a tour apalling communication on the day of boarding
Very dissapointed never again
Would not recommend
I found the experience not relaxing at all
all the above contributed to a poorly organised cruise ...
The ship is too big. I have sailed about 26 times on Celebrity and 3 times on Royal Caribbean. It took us WAY too long to embark. It was unorganized and mismanaged.
We have a balcony cabin.
First, we always have room service for breakfast. Now they will charge $8, so I guess we have to get dressed, etc. and go to breakfast rather than relaxing in our cabin if you want anything more ...
We chose this cruise because our friends we sailed with were told it is a fantastic cruise. The cruise started very badly in Singapore. We were informed to be at the ship by 1230 hrs which we were but unfortunately we were still sitting around the boarding area at 1600 hours. Once embarked we found our cabin to be everything we expected. We found most meals to our liking, the staff more than ...
We are familiar with cruises and have always loved them. But his was very disappointing for a number of reasons.
1. They charge $8 for room service breakfast... bummer!
2. The sign-in in Singapore was horribly unorganized.
3. Ho Chi Min was cancelled at the last minute with no explanation (our main reason for choosing this itinerary)
2. On 3rd day of cruise we were told to change our ...
5 day cruise ex Singapore April 2018, first appearance of the ship was great ,very large areas plenty of room Okay food , ticked all the box's. By day 2 you could feel the staff were over worked as the ship was quiet full , all restaurants that are free dinning had the same menu reason given was that the ship had far to many passengers therefore they decided to have the exact same menu, which was ...
