Ovation of the Seas Ocean View Balcony 2D

Large room , plenty of storage and comfortable balcony

The room felt a bit small but I expected that, I did not expect to ever the complete lack of plugins. There were zero plugins in the bathroom, other than a plug that said for shavers only that no plug would fit in. They also may have a single plug on one side of the bed so if you and your spouse want to have your phones charging in next to you for an alarm your out of luck. The mini fridge only has a depth of about 4 in which isn't even big enough to hold one of their small plates or bowls. It does however take up the entire cabinet that it's in. The absolute worst thing about the room however was the fact that my balcony, along with most of the other rooms on the 13th floor, had a massively obstructed view. It was not listed as an obstructed view balcony nor did they charge as if it was an obstructed view balcony. There was a giant overhang for the 14th floor that went out for my balcony about 10 ft which meant I could only get about 15° of view looking out. Every other floor The view would have been fine but nowhere does Royal Caribbean warn people of this when they are booking.

Size of room nice. Liked the glass shower instead of curtain. Liked the balcony. Our cabin man kept our room very nice, tidy and clean every day. Loved the towel animals.

Our outside balcony stateroom was the most spacious and well laid out of any ship we have sailed on. Lots of storage in the cabin and a very usable bathroom, unless someone is very overweight in trying to use the shower, which was still larger than other ships we have sailed on.. Everything still had a “like new” feeling” and our cabin steward, Edward, was always available and seemed to work 24 hours a day. There is a small digital safe, as well as a cooler (not a refrigerator), which also has an electronic lock on it. Be sure to double check the 4 digit code you enter on both the safe and cooler. From personal experience I can tell you that the cabin steward can open the cooler if you get your combination wrong (I don’t know if that applies to the safe)

For two people it was perfect. Rafael took very good care cleaning the room.
