Review summary

Highly recommend the whole experience. Staff were amazing and clearly enjoyed their work.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The "Ovation of the Seas" is an awesome experience for those who appreciate technology and its advances. The shows are spectacular and the quality of food in the various dining rooms are of high quality. The facilities are a credit to the designers, such things as the Rip Cord, Flowrider and the Northstar are free and absolutely dynamic, quite the adrenalin rush.

Disembarkation

All disembarking to all ports was satisfactory except for Dunedin where passengers were issued with tickets first and then had to wait till tickets were called. This system was a debacle.

Wow a great review, no faults at all, not worthy of 5 stars? We go on the Ovation in October from Beijing.
