Review summary

Totally awesome. Would consider cruising on Ovation Of The Sea again. I really did enjoy it, Just needs more live shows to keep be entertained.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Seriously can not fault the dinning experience at all. The waiters are truly awesome. The restaurants on land in Australia has a lot to learn.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I have to give a low grade for this unfortunately. I want and had booked to do the Ifly, but because of the weather was unable to do, so I do not know the experience of this activity. The North star was amazing, The pools catered for a lot of people .

Entertainment

2 out of 5
There was not enough of it. My understanding that the Pixel show, Which I did see, was the same performance every session. Seen it once and you knew what to expect if you seen it again. Not enough for me to be stimulated. The other 2 shows they had was totally mesmerizing. But that's jut it. On a 12 day cruise and only 3 main shows. I got bored.
