Review summary

Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary could not have been better. We will truly remember this for many years. Hats off to Royal Caribbean and Ovation of the Seas for making it so.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Too many lines and very slow process. They need to find a better way to process people through. Not sure who was responsible for delay. U S Customs processing was very quick and easy.

Beautiful Alaska
Wonderful except for our cabin. People booking the Quantum Class ships should stay away from the area around 13680 to 90. The rooms are obstructed by a very large overhang and poles. Royal Caribbean will do nothing about it.
Most Amazing Cruise of our Lives!
