This cruise is catered for Australians, as a cruiser I would not go on the ovation of the seas again as I didn’t find the ship and vibe as good as adventures or oasis of the seas

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Stateroom attendant Clive was amazing, friendly and helpful. Only eat at the American icon grill to eat if you have nothing to do for the rest of the evening. It will probably take you about 3 hours for a 3 course meal.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

A lot more room than the other ships I’ve been on. It’s clean and comfortable

Ship tip

Do not expect it to be the same as the other Royal Caribbean ships. It is a beautiful ship but boring.

Did a beach excursion. Beach was ok and the tour was not worth the money.
