Review summary

As a Travel Agent, I'd definitely recommend and will be returning to AK. Ovation of the Seas receives a standing Ovation for being a great and beautiful ship. Holds roughly 4500 passengers with lots to see and do such as i-fly, flo-rider, bumper cars, and the north star. Just FYI, some activities on-board that you'd think should be free are nor (i.e. flo-rider, i-fly, and north star). Sorentos pizza 🍕 is yummy!!

Embarkation

Embarkation in Seattle is a nightmare. Very unorganized. No clear communication.

Ok. But many weren't included in price. Making reservations for the ones that were, wasn't happening. Pretty much filled up before crudie departed

Good but interesting. Never asked to see our ArriveCan information that we were REQUIRED to complete. They stated your passport had to expire min of 6 months AFTER returning home in order to be considered valid. Which makes no sense to me. My daughter's will expire a month after returning, but she was still able to get on and off with it with no problems. They barely checked it getting back on.

Probably won't go back. It's a very dirty, nasty city. Belle piere is nice though
