Review summary
Ovation of the Seas is a beautiful ship, but very large. The Cruise Director Joff and his offsider Angelle were a great entertaining team and really made everyone feel very welcome. The disco's and dance parties were fun so throw in a few dress ups for the cruise, 70's, formal, tropical etc.. The staff were friendly, the food was OK. Take advantage of the shows, they were great. If you are hoping to escape travelling without children, pick outside of school holiday times, there were a lot of kids running and I mean running through the ship. We stayed in the solarium to escape children but we did have to ask the staff to have children removed often! All in all the cruise was great. I would definitely travel Royal Caribbean again. New Zealand was stunning, especially the Fjords! We were lucky and had perfect weather. Pack light, it's really a very casual affair and do take US dollars with you and some NZ dollars for your day trips and purchases.Embarkation

Ship tip
Travel with US dollars if you are from another country outside the US. Do take on board the allowed alcohol allowance it will save money. See all the shows, they are great, don't eat at Jamie's Italian, choose Chops Grill. Soak up atmosphere and relax in in 270 Lounge and theatre
Ports of call
Port Chalmers (Dunedin), New Zealand
