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.

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.
