Entertainment

2 out of 5
Compared to other RC ships, this was pretty low on the entertainment level. Their greatest performance - Starwater (in the 270) was sad at best. We were sitting upstairs and most people left. There was not rhyme or reason for the show (though the cartoon before the started was amazing). Other groups could not sing on key or had a terrible stage presence. Probably the best was Goddess.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Kumar is the best concierge on any RC ship to date we have been on. A lot of help getting things booked BEFORE we boarded the ship. That is what you expect from a concierge.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was not built for the US market and it shows. Casino was like walking back 20-30 years in time. Very few new slots. Casino payout was the worst on any cruise ship we have been on. Normally, I play every night, not this time. We had a grand suite. Smallest grand suite we have been in because of the wall between the bedroom and the living room. Just appeared small (same square feet - but not open like others are.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin has the same sq ft as other grand suites but seems small because of the wall that goes through the middle.

Ship tip

Sail on Ovation of the Seas if you have the chance. You'll be glad you did.

Ports of call

Sitka, Alaska

5 out of 5
Amazing! Wound up having a private "Best of Sitka" tour because our ship was late. Best tour ever.

Skagway, Alaska Did not visit port

A landslide blocked the dock/pier.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5
Highly recommend North Star during this period.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Been to this port a few times - always love the Musher Dogs!

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Been there too many times and it was over dinner time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Even though Seattle does not have the facial recognition like other ports of entry have, it moved very quickly.

Are you saying the other Grand Suites you've been in did not have a wall between the bedroom and living room?
