Just back from my cruise on Ovation. Great staff. Great food. Most times went to Windjammer on 14 for the buffet. Liked being able to grab just what I want. Windjammer staff A+. If you like to sit down , 4th floor has the dinning rooms. Food on this ship is the least of your worries. You will gain weight from the amount and frequency available. It's all good. Bars too. Great Bartenders as well. Plenty of games for young and old. Family feud, trivia, karaoke abounds. Give it a try and find the one you like. The temps in Alaska were a low of 48 (night), 56 to mid 60s daytime. If you are going out on a water trip it will be much colder than at the dock. on the boat itself never needed a sweater unless you are in one of the outside areas. In Skagway I recommend the Zodiac boat tours. Great fun and sights. Juneau whale watching was very successful. At every stop there are various tours, whale watching. plane / helicopter tours and the like available as you come off the ship. You can get better deals than going through the Royal Caribbean but do your homework. First off boat gets the best choices. The Glacier viewing was not great. The commercial makes it seem than you are right up on it. You are not. Dont get me wrong you see it, but from a distance. Getting on and off the Ship at the ports was pretty smooth just have your card and picture ID. Getting off the ship at the end, I'd recommend carry your own bag and be off the boat before 8am if you don't want to be stuck on big lines. And the car pickup area is nuts. Make sure you have a game plan with your transportation before your boarding day. All in All I had a great time. I was with a big family group so we had built in entertainment. Ship staff cant help you enough. You will eat and drink more than you think you will. I got the open bar package for $51 a day and I think Royal lost money on it, but it did make it easy that no matter where I was I could grab a coffee, soda or drink with no charge. Had no food package but I feel you don't need it. If you go to the specialty restaurant one or two nights the cost would still be cheaper than the package. The food available was great. I didnt even feel like going to one of them so I cant tell ya if it worth it. Thats my take on it. All I can say in closing is that you make your own good time. Lots to do on and off the Ship. The staff is great. Fellow passengers are a big mix of Americans and from more counties than I can remember. Everyone says hello to each other and you get at least a nod of the head. SOB Band is great. One last thing, take a ride in the elevator with the piano guy. Well worth the up and down.
This is late but windjammer is my home on the cruise
Just did an August 2023 cruise. It;s really an ok experience. Internet is very crapy. If you have kids/teens or need to respond to important calls/emails, be prepared not being able to do so. Guest services would give you run around when you report problems. And do give different treatments to passengers, as I observed it first hand. Unfortunately, it spoiled the whole experience.
Housekeeping and restaurant staffs do work very hard. Food is plenty but mediocre.
Booking excursion with RC is more convient since you can board the transportation directly from the ports. Otherwise, shuttles to downtown or greater distance of walking/waiting are often required. Guess that's how RC discourages other local excursion competitions.
Hi!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! How did you get the beverage package for $51 a day? 🤯
I cruised from Sydney to NZ and back just recently from the 14th to 23 rd November 2023 and it was fantastic, the staff on board are excellent from the house keeping to restaurant to the deck staff and Guest Service staff, very very friendly, thank you all, the entertainments where exciting, enjoyed every bit of my time on the Cruise, keep it up, need to take another trip with my whole family.
Not forgetting the food it's just super,
Amazing tour!!!
I'm going to work as crew in this ship, I'm super excited, can't wait for this new chapter in my life!
You are multitalented, Matt. The wise teacher, the counselor and the entertainer. A generous package by example. Thank you !
Was on Ovation to Alaska the last week of September, great time and the scenery was outstanding! Love that ship
Great tour! answered all my questions about this ship, thanks!
Wonderful tour of the Ovation. This video makes me want to go on this ship! 😍😍😍
Can’t wait to be on this ship when it heads to Hawaii next year!!! Thanks for the tour!
Incredible ship that I'm excited to experience in September! Your video and detailed information is simply fabulous, thank you for the many hours you probably spent to create it. Very insightful!
Thanks for the tour. I like the variety of foods and shows. Great fitness center.
Great tour of the ship! After 2 years of cancellation due to Covid my daughter and her husband are finally
boarding the Ovation today (6-24-22) for an Alaskan trip. The tour gave me a great look into what they will experience while cruising .
Have fun!
Booked for May 2022! Can’t wait!!!
The best video we have come across so far. Saved it to watch closer to our cruise. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Going on Ovation to Alaska late May. I'm so excited now!
Great job with this ship tour! We are taking her this May for a much anticipated (and rescheduled due to Covid) family voyage to Alaska. I sincerely appreciated all the time you took to show all the nooks and crannies of this one; we are REALLY looking forward to sailing on her! Thank you again!
You’re very welcome, and it’s good to hear from you again, Nancy!
Wonderful tour ovation of the seas 2 year before from Singapore to Thailand and back it was 5 days tour but its was amazing tour crew member was good hospitality excellent really i enjoyed this tour and i never forget this thanks ship and love you .

Any time!
Another great ship tour, thanks Matt!!

Love this ship!
Great tour thanks! Gonna be on her in May 2022 to alaska. Glad you showed the "smoke" area at the end of your tour on deck 5 for my wife ha ha!
How was your trip?
Thanks for tour!!!
Been on Ovation 5 times including long sailing Singapore Sydney which includes 5 days at sea before 1st port just lovely.
Very good video. We are going on the Ovation in June 2022 and cant wait
Great job Matt. You answered questions I had and even those I didn't think of. This will be the first time on Ovation to Alaska. Looking forward to the adventure in July.😃
Glad it was helpful!
I am so excited because I just booked it my cruise on this cruise ship, and I am so excited for it. Just looking at your video right now at the whole tour. Just makes me even more excited going next year in September, and I am so excited and this is something that I will be definitely counting down. There’s only about 463 days left until the trip so got a lot of planning. Got a lot of things to do before hand, but I am so excited for my trip on this ship your videos literally hyped me up that literally I was like I have to go onto a royal Caribbean cruise, and I am so looking forward to stepping foot onto the ship.
Thankyou for this insight. I'll be taking my very first cruise on Ovation Sydney to NZ in January 2023. Very excited! 🙂
Great video Matt. We are going to Alaska May 20,2022 Look forward to checking out Ovation of the Seas.
Thank you!! I'm sailing on this ship in October !
I’ve done Alaska only twice. Once with Princess, and once with Norwegian. Never considered doing Royal unless I’m cruising the Caribbean. The Ovation looks absolutely wonderful.
Amazing tour! Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the detailed tour of the ship! It helps me to know and to see the many options the ship offers before I board the ship.
Cool tour! Takes me back... I was on the inaugural repositioning in 2016 (the Dubai-to-Singapore segmant). This is still the only RCCL ship I've been on, but it's also my favorite ship I've been on! I had a lot of favorite parts of the ship, but if I had to pick one it would DEFINITELY be Two70.
Thanks so much, I was looking for some I information about it, we book a trip to Alaska for the last week of August this year
I saw this cruise ship up close in person when it was in Victoria a couple weeks ago and just seeing how close in person I was just at awes just looking at it from a close perspective and what it looks like it was just amazing. I am so excited to go on the ship next year to Alaska and to experience the inside and what it looks like inside, including I cannot wait to see my virtual balcony to as well because that’s what I booked it. I’m just incredibly excited but seeing that cruise ship up close in person couple weeks ago was just a surreal moment and it just brought on more excitement for me knowing that I’m going to be on this cruise ship in 10 months actually in 10 months I will be on that cruise ship and it’s just being a surreal moment and I’m so excited incredibly excited. Thank you so much Matt for all these wonderful videos, every time I watch your videos, it just makes me more motivated and excited to get all prepared for my trip next year and all your videos have been super helpful to preparing for my trip next year and everything so I’m grateful appreciative for all your amazing videos and I cannot wait to go on this cruise ship. Me and my family are in the process to maybe going on. The oasis or the wonder of the sea. We are in the talk to maybe going on those cruise ship and doing a back to back on the same cruise ship so that we can get the full experience and seeing the whole entire cruise ship and that we won’t be able to see the whole cruise ship in like one week so we’re doing a two week cruise in 2025 so I’m excited I cannot wait and hopefully by 2026 or 2027. I hope that I can be on the icon of the sea. But I am so excited to experience this cruise ship next year and I cannot wait. I’m already buying my clothes for the trip and I already have my shoes, ready and packed to go even though I’m leaving in 10 months, but I’m super excited and I cannot wait so thank you for your videos Matt.
Great Job
fab tour you give the best details thank you my fave ship is actually Anthem i love two70 my fav place to be i sit on the floor looking out the windows i love it
Glad you enjoyed!
thanks Matt! This makes me so excited for Alaska in Sept! I was supposed to go this past Sept but I had to push it back! This is our first time to Alaska and my boyfriend's very first cruise!
You got this!
I miss this ship so much 😍😍😍
We are heading the Hawaii in Sept 2022 on this ship so I’m so happy I got to see all of it before as I don’t like surprises or not know where things are and missing fun things
Great video can’t wait for my trip in January 2023 from Sydney to NZ
Thx for the info. Having been on ovation some of the lines for activities are 3-4 hrs long!
Wonderful tour, Matt! I love these ship tours from different perspectives. It is one of my favorite ships! Been on Ovation 3 times...including twice in August 2021! Beautiful ship. The only thing that would make it better is having it go to Glacier Bay National Park :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
A pool, ping pong, the North Star, classy digs, incredible views and exceptional staff. What's not to love ? ❤
Sing along ?!!! Wow ! That 's my kind of town ! ❤🎶🎼
THEATER ? No way !!! I'm sold. OMG piano ?
Sounds heavenly ! 🎹🥰
Going on Ovation for an Alaskan cruise in a few weeks! Can’t wait!
Was just on the alaskan cruise Oct 8-15th and I love Ovation!!! Everything about it is absolutely amazing - food, specialty restaurants, entertainment, the crew and the ports were great too! Cant wait to try the Oasis class ships!
Going In September .. 30th anniversary! Excited!
I will be on here in November 2024! cannot wait. it looks amazing.
We just cruised on the Ovation the last week of September to Alaska. Wonderful ship. So much to do onboard - regardless of the weather.... Can hardly wait for our cruise on the new sister ship Odyssey of the Seas next September from Rome to Greece!!
Do you recommend it ? I am thinking of going with my kids in jun !
On the same line going from Seattle to Alaska ?
We're loyal to Royal, so yes. In fact we've since gone on the Odyssey twice (Rome to Greece and also in the Caribbean) as well as a second voyage on the Ovation this last spring from Sydney to Honolulu (18 day repositioning cruise). We love the Quantum class ships - not as big as the Oasis class and still have tons of activities for the whole family. One major plus is the SeaPlex - indoor activity center with basketball, pickleball, real live bumper cars and much more. Not to mention the iFly and Flowrider. And Alaska is beautiful too. Many excursions into nature.
Thank you for this video. I will be sailing to Alaska on Ovation in May 2022 and am so looking forward to getting back out on the seas!
Glad it was helpful!
Me too! May 20th. Really stoked now after watching this video. 🚢
We are going in June, I assume take some hoodies for the night time. Never been on a cruise or Alaska
I will be sailing her July 2024. Thanks for making me want to board her tomorrow!
Great video!
Thanks!
Going Sept 15, 2023 for my 45th birthday! So excited!
Nice video Matt. Looking forward to Odyssey next year.
You and me both!
I went on this ship in like august 2016 from Tianjin and I miss it so much!!! I wish I can hop on a cruise rn 😭😭😭
I love Cafe 270 and the 270 lounge.
I’m scheduled for the Ovation in Aug. 2024. My first cruise ever. I’m a planner so I love the info so I know where to go for coffee and other things. Your video decreased my anxiety and it’s still 7 months away.
Heading out on ovation in two weeks today! Thx for the tour. I think the British pub has changed names now.
I am looking forward to getting on this ship in April 2023 from Sydney to Honolulu. My first time on a Royal Caribbean cruise. I have been on other cruise. I thinks it’s the best was to travel.
this was a great tour! im going August 2nd 2022 19 days from today (june 13 2022)!
Nice tour Matt, thanks. We'll be on the Ovation for 18 days early next year. Do you know if they offer any dining packages for cruises of that length? There's nothing listed on their website for dining as of now, other than individual purchases. I was hoping for maybe a 5 or 7 night package...
Me and my partner would to go on the criuse shit. Never been on one if we won lotto then we would off had a holiday away together. Love watching your videos and seeing what inside looks and hearing alot about ovation off the sea. Got amazing food and everything yous got insode
Wish to make Video of this Majestic Cruise ... Ovation of the Seas ... GB
Hi Matt: Thanks for the great tour of Ovation of the Seas . I will be going on this ship Sept. 16 2022. to Alaska This will be my first cruise on RC. . I didn[t realize it was so big, Cant wait to try all the specialty restraunts. Happy Cruising.
Have fun!
Heard the crew is sweet ! 🥰
We'll board July 11th 2024. So ready and excited ❤!
I just came back from that exact cruise ship and I had so much fun and I like the fish better than the chips also the ship's engines had a problem so the 2 islands we supposed to go got cancelled and I'm writing this a few hours after I left.
Great tour of the ship! Fingers crossed my husband and I will be going on Ovation at the end of next year as we are in Australia. We will be travelling with our 10-month old son hopefully. Any tips for cruising on Ovation with a baby? Do you know if Splashaway Bay allows swimming diapers in the pool or do the kids have to be toilet trained already?
I'm saving up for my first cruise, Syd - NZ, and though I'm a few years away from being able to afford it, your videos have been a dearth of information. As Ovation is the only, or one of few, RCL ships that cruise in our part of the world, Australia, this tour, and your videos, have been very helpful in getting my mind together for this. Thankfully I have a friend who is a cruise specialist travel agent, and he loves RCL (he applied for a job with them at their Sydney office), he'll be my go to person for everything cruising and RCL.
Going to be on her in march 22 with my sister to nz
Nice ship
Awesome video, we’re so excited to try it!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
I’m going on the ship soon
I’m going to this specific cruise ship on September
Back in 2019, We took a 16 day Ocean crossing on Ovation from Sidney to honoloulu via French Polynesia. The ship is lovely but it is a bit too big for my tastes. Radiance and Vision class ships are still my preferred.
This is the best video i've seen for Ovation of the Seas. Good job on getting all this done! Going to Alaska in May so this really helped me out. Cheers
Me too May 13

When will Royal release their 2024 Alaska itineraries? Interested in booking this ship ❤️
Love to get you on podcast
Send me an email: matt@royalcaribbeanblog.com
What time of the year was this? I am looking into July?
I wish I could see more of the Art Gallery
Ping Pong is my game ! 🤪 Challenge ! 🤩
In a few weeks we’ll be doing a back to back, New Zealand and the next to Tasmania & Adelaide on the Ovation.
I made a mistake once by going P&O….never again.
This is the second video I'm watching of you doing it to of the ship but this is for the previous video I watched of allure of the seas when it goes into dry dock are they going to take out the jazz bar and make that a high-roller area of the casino or are they going to keep the jazz? I hope they don't take out the that's the one disappointment with Wonder of the seas they took the jazz bar out. Have an excellent
I’m coming here
I'm Australian and last year in like november I went on it
We just got off Quantum of the Seas (first cruise and loved it) and have noticed some differences. Vintages for our cruise had NO wine wall and the selection of wines was poor compared to Schooner Bar! We loved 270 and all the entertainment - so much to do.
Hello, I have a question about the "Formal" Nights in the Restaurants. It's been 6 years since we've been with RCCl and now it's time for a criuse with the ovation. Do I have to wear a suit on these "formal" nights in the restaurant, or is appropriate attire sufficient? Thanks Mike
I am going in 2023, so your video was really helpful to me. This is my first cruise, so I am really nervous. I want to know everything I possibly can
You'll have a great time!
Love this video! we are going in July 22 2022 never have gone on an Alaska Cruise! hoping we get the best weather!
You will have a great time!
When was this video taken? I'm booked for Alaska on 8/11/23 and am concerned about weather. The weather in this video looked cold & wet. Video was very good orientation, nice job.
We are booked for 8/4/23. Will try and save you some food 😎
I’m going on this ship on Thursday August 18th through Friday August 26th
Hey Matt
My husband and I want to go to Alaska for our 35th anniversary. It is Jan 1st, 2025 so do you think it would be a good idea to wait till May or June so the weather will be better there? And when can we find out which ship will be going to Alaska at that time?
Would you be able to do a Quantum of the Seas tour?
I’m looking forward to the sauna. Hoping it is part of the package
I want to go sooooo bad
Matt, If we are diamond members and we were able to get a jr. suite on our Alaskan cruise. Will the Coastal kitchen be available all day for us?
No, CK for Junior Suite guests is only for dinner
Which deck of the Adventure Ocean is the nursery on?
Best ship in the world,i experienced it myself.
I miss the time I was on here
TookOvation to Alaska as my first cruise. Loved it, sad it is currently just anchored off Seattle due to cancellation of Australia tour season.
Can you order whole pizza's at Sorento's? And maybe to go, to take it to your room?
This ship is here in Napier New Zealand today (24/10/22)
I wish I get LOE on this amazing ship again,
Are the pools heated?
