Ovation of the Seas
August
Pros:
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
Ovation of the Seas is a marvelous ship! It is clean, well-kept and maintained, and a moving marvel that accommodates so many people and their dreams and desires. The numerous activities are well suited to all different age groups and are scheduled to accommodate as many people as possible. The chefs do an outstanding job of preparing 16,000 top quality meals every day and the food choices are amazing! The wait staff is experienced, skilled, well-organized, and highly efficient. The staff and crew are polite, pleasant, and do an excellent job of serving with a smile and a happy heart. The excursions were well-planned and we enjoyed our time at every port. Our stateroom was professionally cleaned daily with a touch of charm and whimsy in the way the towels were folded into cute animals, etc. If we needed anything, our attendant was prompt in answering our every request. All in all, it was a fabulous way to celebrate our 50th anniversary - with extraordinary experiences and a lifetime of unforgettable memories!

Ok, not great
August
Pros: Great attitude of staff
Cons: Food quality, cost of excursions
Recommended: No
The best thing about this cruise was the positive attitude of all staff including cabin attendants and wait staff. Usually, the food on cruises is outstanding…not this cruise. Food quality was a 7 out of 10. Not once did I think to myself, wow this food is really good. This is the first time that I didn’t gain weight on a cruise as I was never tempted to overeat. Although it wasn’t the cruise line’s fault, the ship did not visit a glacier. The glaciers were the highlight of my last cruise to Alaska. The costs of some of the excursions were 5 times higher than our last cruise on the same itinerary. Overall, cruises are always enjoyable, but this one did not meet my high expectations.

Great experience
August
Pros: Wonderful staff and dining
Cons: Need to pay for more stuff on this boat than the oasis
Recommended: Yes
Overall we had a great time ! We were at the main dining or windjammer a lot and the food was delicious. The staff were all wonderful! I would recommend to go in the winter because we didn’t see much of the glacier . It’s still beautiful regardless . I think if there was another stop we could’ve made in Alaska, then it would be better !
