I was on this ship May 2024 for Alaskan cruise. There was no pizza or actual cakes at the buffet like this video shows, just tiny shot glasses with morsels of cake. And there was 1 ice cream machine near the pool for 4500 people on the ship, the line for it was an hour long. The steaks in main dining were 1/4" thick. I had beef tenderloin one night, it was the size of a playing card and so thin I could see light through it. The breakfast buffet was good and had nice variety but the lunch buffet was disappointing. It was the first cruise I've taken where I think I actually lost weight.
Fantastic job it’s one of the best I’ve seen 👍🏻we have been on it in 2019 just before Covid shut down have booked again for February next year my favourite ship 🚢 thanks again
I went on the Ovation of the Seas a few years ago from Sydney. My family went to the Wonderland restaurant and it was an experience that I enjoyed. I enjoyed the cruise, but felt the ship was too big. We also did the bumper cars, but it was hard to fit in as it’s not scheduled regularly, so checking the day’s activity sheet was essential.
Went on ovation a couple of weekends ago for 2 nights, will be back on it for an 8 night to pacific islands in a weeks time. Still get a buzz watching others vids though…thanks for sharing! I especially agree with your thoughts on having a Kmart and target on board haha love it! Would never shop in those expensive ones they have.
It'll be the most popular shop on board! haha. Im heading to Pacific Islands next month on Pacific Adventure so I'll do a video on that. Enjoy your next trip!
We were on that cruise worst embarkation I've ever had lot of complaints at the Captains Corner forum in 2 70 during the cruise. We are going on her next month for short Tasmania cruise hope they have their act together.
Our family also went on the ovation for 11 nights As i remember well Washy washy! BUMPER CARS, the robots we saw i also got a mini cruise toy so i can remember the entire trip!
I loved Ovation. Went on her in November 22 . So stable and so huge . wished we'd had another wk so I could have seen even more. Oh well, guess I;ll have to go on her again.. I loved the pod. so cool hanging off the side of the ship while moving. thx for the vid, This yr im going on Brilliance of the seas. First time on that too.
There’s actually a surprisingly affordable 18 night cruise ($4100 USD for Accessible Balcony) each April (we’re booked next year) that goes to Auckland/Tauranga…then after 5 sea days you get three stops in French Polynesia including Tahiti and then after another 5 sea days you finish in Honolulu, Hawaii…we’re hoping we don’t go too stir crazy after 2 1/2 weeks

Great video. It shows everything. Planning a cruise very soon. You should TALK 👄 would be more interactive. Cheers 🍸
Thank you for this wonderful tour. We will be on Ovation in October for 28 nights and after watching this I am more excited than ever.
Wow long trip! You're going to have plenty to do on board 😄 Enjoy!
@@WalksForYou thanks. It’s a back to back, Vancouver to Hawaii then to Sydney. It’s our longest cruise ever.
Thanks for the tour! No wonder people go on multiple cruises!
I’m about to go on it again for the second time in three days
I remember that ship very well.
Awesome video thank you so much :) very informative :) ive just discovered your channel and have subscribed :) nice to be onboard :)
No way this cruise was right after my one. I got off my cruise to south pacific on ovation on the exact day this was posted
😅 Unlikely. Takes me a bout a month to go through all the footage and then put it altogether. That cruise was in November I remember.

Awesome. Was this Dec 7th cruise? If so, I was there...I remember that long line at the OPT to board ⚓🛳⚓
Yes, it was on the 7th Dec. A very long queue 😅 But enough time for me to get some good video footage of the cruise
You sure did! That was great. I still have more to explore. Good thing I am back on in March 😉
im watching this video while on ovation lol
😅🤣
👍
Hi North Star can we book in on ship day?
Yes. They have staff near the north star on sea days. Try to book early so you can get a time slot that's suitable for your group
Isn't that included in fare? As read on website?
I bet they make a lot of money by charging extra for espresso!
Yes especially when everything was in usd. I normally drink coffee every morning, but for this trip I settled for the free tea and coffee machines
Great video. It shows everything. Planning a cruise very soon. You should TALK 👄 would be more interactive. Cheers 🍸
