Your Alaska adventure hits a high point.
Pioneer America’s last frontier onboard one of the world’s most groundbreaking ships, Ovation of the Seas®, the biggest boldest ship to ever sail Alaska. It’s scenery scoping from the unrivalled perspective of North Star® – the highest vantage point on any cruise ship. Edge-of-your-seat entertainment, game-changing family fun you can enjoy in any climate and breathtaking vistas from every stateroom – even interior staterooms offer real-time views from a Virtual Balcony℠. All between unforgettable destinations from Juneau to Skagway. No other cruise ship lets you see Alaska like this.
Activities- Plenty to keep myself up and moving when the energy was too high to sit still. ( ripcord by iFLY was awesome, flow-rider (I thought was too good to be true for many days until I realized my neck ached from so many wipeouts. I went a little “overboard” though, ( metaphorically speaking of course) and was at it for like 3 hours or more. I still watch the videos in the stateroom on the proper way to ride and wipeout though, as it can be risky. It was too fun to try anyways. I think I played in the 3-on-3 basketball and soccer tournament, but cannot remember if that was 2024/2023/2022 and I definitely did at least 2 times. ( It is my fourth year spending my vacation on Royal Carribean’s “Ovation of the Seas” and I still love exploring it and have ZERO regrets.) Also, plenty of opportunity to unwind and relax and do no activities at all. ( as long as doing nothing doesn’t count as an activity). Service- The crew is the best. Professional, courteous, selfless. Definitely deserves a WOW! Cabin- Highly recommend a suite class stateroom. My travel companion and I went for the balcony/Junior Suite this time and I really loved (and could use) the extra space relative to perhaps a more inexpensive category I have been in before. Dining- delicioSO. (Especially since I am one who does not go out to eat often until it is Royal vacation time, and have washed dishes at a job.) To get served an exquisite dinner after optionally having an eclectic breakfast and lunch buffet ( if I was not busy having too much fun on the ship or off at a port of call for those first two meals of the day ) not only nourishes my body, it boosts my well being. Whether it is the “classics” on the menu nightly at Main dining room they have mastered, or the spontaneous meeting of a neighborly table-mate, the dining experience specifically has facilitated my growth in many ways. Entertainment- …Galore with the cruise compass/app having entertaining game shows, trivia, scavenger hunt, movies, live music, recorded music, elevator music, and sometimes a combination. Disembarkation- might be the shortest day of the cruise depending on when things open and when people wake up. I try to pack the night before so I am leaving as soon as the group I am in is called because I know the staff if probably doing a changeover day and the rest of the group will be using the elevators. If you have a designated waiting area there is probably time to get one last excellent meal ( and perhaps a drink) for your belly for the big travel day ahead.
Just got back from our first Alaska cruise and our first cruise on Royal Caribbean in a long time. I was pleasantly surprised by RC. We switched to Celebrity a while ago, but our adult children love RC so, since we were traveling with them, we chose RC. The ship was lovely, good flow and large public spaces so it didn't feel as big as it was. The room was spacious, recently updated and very comfortable. I love the over-bed cupboard, can fit most of my clothes there. Having an outlet next to the bed was a nice surprise. The bathroom was clean and the shower actually had room to move around (but bring your own shampoo, the all purpose shampoo/body wash didn't do either very well). I can't really comment on food since we were part of the Celiac Cruise, but we heard people who tried the Windjammer saying the gluten free food was better. Would have enjoyed a little more variety in the gluten free food, especially breakfast, but not having to worry about the celiacs in my family was worth it. Bar service was excellent and even with the number of people on board there was never much wait for a seat at a bar or a chance to use the freestyle soda machine. Not sure if the entertainment was good or not. The production shows were scheduled for long port days when we didn't get back in time to go. Usually production shows are on sea days so everyone can enjoy them. The comedian was ok, and Spectra's Cabaret was ok, when you could see what was going on. Having the stage below floor level meant only people who got the seats right next to the stage could actually see most of the show. RC excursions were excellent. Well organized and worth the money. Embarkations and disembarkation were quick and smooth. We were on and off the ship at our scheduled time with no trouble.
The level of service was exceptional. I was so happy with all the shows, music, trivia. If you are looking for Michelin star dining then you will of course be disappointed but I found the food in both the Windjammer and the MDR to be very good. I just cannot say enough about our service., from Arlene our cabin stew to Billy and Solomon in the MDR I was totally pampered. The interior room with virtual balcony was a nice touch. The adults only areas were clean and quiet. I saw no need for The Key because the last 2 cruises we have literally walked on board in less than 30 minutes. By choosing a 12:30 embarkation time you almost walk right on the ship! The singers on board were great, I really enjoyed the cabaret show, those folks have such amazing talent!!! The wildlife talks were an added treat and got you ready for any whale watching experience you may have had. Don’t believe all the negative comments or reviews, try Ovation for yourself!
