Similarities from its sister ships include the North Star capsule that transports passengers 90 metres above the sea for a bird’s eye view. The ship offers world-class entertainment and nonstop fun. Onboard features smart technology called Royal IQ, a free interactive scheduling service that lets passengers make reservations for dining, entertainment and other activities. Making a debut on the Ovation is the colorful Kung Fu Panda Noodle Shop and there is a new Asian station in the Windjammer Marketplace buffet restaurant. Ovation of the Seas offers Asian itineraries and will have a brief spell in Australia.

[fa type=”bed”] Accommodation
Ovation stands out for its stateroom design and the range of cabins. There are interior and oceanview cabins. The majority of cabins have king-sized beds with curved ends, which can be divided into a twin bed configuration. The ship has 28 studio cabins for single travellers, a few with balconies, and 34 staterooms across the vessel are wheelchair accessible. There is ample storage with space beneath and above the bed to stow away suitcases, plenty of soft-close drawers and a full-length wardrobe. Many of the sofas can be pulled out to create extra sleeping space. Plug-in hair dryers, small safes, telephones, refrigerated mini-bars (with childproof locks) are standard. The flat-screen HDTVs provide a good range of channels, information on the ship and shore excursions, and a rolling morning program with updates from the cruise director and activities manager.

[fa type=”cutlery”] Food
The Windjammer Marketplace serves meals, light snacks and also offers a 24-hour cafe. Ovation of the Seas also stands out from its sister ships as it has an Asian station in the Marketplace. Ovation also has four 450-seat restaurants: Silk, Chic, The Grande and American Icon Grill. All have different atmospheres and menus. For those who prefer a more traditional cruise model of fixed-time seating, there is Dynamic Classic Dining, which allows passengers to dine with same tablemates and waiters each night, rotating in pre-set order among the four main restaurants. For a glamorous dining experience, head on to The Grande which is ornate with elegant colors of gold and cream. Expect superb dishes such as lobsters, escargots and duck.
