Ovation of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We really enjoyed meeting the Kiwis when we stopped. The cruise itself was loud and had a party atmosphere with kids running all over. We generally prefer something a little quieter.

Had a great time on the ovation of the seas.The common areas could be a bit bigger for the number of people on the ship.The staff were always smiling and very friendly.The rooms were sensational.I still think the price of alcohol on any cruise not just Royal Caribbean is ridiculous though.

Highly recommend this cruise, it is relaxing whilst at sea and just some stunning places along the way.

A fantastic cruise with endless activities.

Ovation has it all. Had been warned about long waits for the attractions but did not find this the case. Used the Royal IQ app for our cruise compass and booking activities.

Food was great with good variety although after day 7 the menus repeat.

Staff where exceptional with no request being too much.

Would book Ovation again. The ports where never important to us as we came for the ship. But the excursion we did in KL was well run and informative.

Thanks RCI for a fantastic time.

I was so excited for my first cruise. But as soon as we set sail I felt sick (this isn't their fault) Sailing down to Hobart then off to NZ  was pretty rocky. It was like being drunk all the time. The weather was pretty bad, high winds and raining daily. A lot of shows were cancelled. Not much options for shopping unless your like high end boutique shopping. They had the little markets stalls almost daily but it was the almost the same stuff daily. If you love a good cup of coffee it is hard to find on this boat. Too many people with not enough activities or things to do. The food in the Windjammer was boring. Mostly the same stuff daily. They need to have an extra staff member for the dessert section. I felt sorry for whoever got stuck there as they were constantly stuck with about 10 people waiting for food. The beds & pillows are hard. The room service is terrible! Its a very small menu and the food is bad. On a Billion $ new ship I don't think it's up to standard. The bionic bar was average. I think it should of been somewhere different. More off to the side, not in the middle of a walkway. Most restaurants were booked out. As were excursions. So plan well ahead! The wifi was terrible. For the price paid just for the room i don't think it was worth it. The wifi should have been included. Even if it was just basic wifi.
