Review summary
We had a great week on Ovation of the Seas. Great scenery, great ship. Lots of fun activities, including bumper cars. Pools and water slides all had heated water which we did not realize before cruising. I don’t think a lot of other people realized this early in the week as the outdoor pool and water slides were pretty empty. MDR service was exceptional although the food was hit or miss. Room was amazing. I wasn’t aware a JS on Ovation had one and a half baths. Huge plus for 4 of us. Pizza at Sorrentos has noticeably improved in recent past. Windjammer was a bit undersized for a ship this size but never seemed too crazy. Solarium Bistro was underutilized and had good food. Cruise down Endicott Arm was beautiful but we did not get close enough to Dawes Glacier to really see it. Embarkation was pretty simple, dropped off by an Uber and walked a little ways then quick through security and check in. Disembarkation was smooth and pretty quick. We used the port of Seattle valet for our bags. Worked great since we weren’t flying out till that evening. Overall a great family friendly ship.Embarkation
