Review summary

This was our first cruise and we were skeptical how it would be with our 4 kids. We read everything we could prior and the best thing was we took Walkie Talkie radios for them to carry around so we would have piece of mind. The Talkies worked great because the internet was touch and go for the app. However after the first few days we felt more free and let our kids enjoy as long as they kept in touch. The hallways were rarely crowded and it was a enjoyable experience. We will diffidently become a cruise family after this trip;

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was great and my kids never complained they did not have something to eat. That is a big deal for a couple of my kids.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There was so much to do we never had a dull moment and neither did the kids.

Entertainment

All the shows were top notch.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

We have 4 kids from 12 to 16 and they usually always go swimming when we travel because our activities boar them , however on the Ovation of the Seas they were always hanging in the kids club or doing an activity and for the first time rarely went swimming. We are diffidently a fan.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone we dealt with was amazing and so kind. Our room steward was the best and made sure we always had what we needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We loved it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The room was much bigger than we expected and had plenty of room to move around and relax. The cabin was always clean and we arrived back everyday with an amazing towel animal prepared for us.
