Things are fantastic on Quantum. 

Spot on!   I recommend that RC adds a bar to hand out the refreshment of choice immediately at the end of the boarding gangway to award those with a who have passed the Indiana Jones-level feats of planning, waiting, reserving, testing, uploading, printing, packing, flying, driving, uber-ing, masking, swabbing, hand sanitizing, worrying, cough-squelching, checking, double checking, waiting again, until FINALLY.... you can board now.    

Level 1: It's T-minus 45.  Got checked in and got my preferred time slot! I'll unnecessarily fret about how long it's taking to validate my vax card, but oh well
Level 2: T-minus 30. Holy cow my luggage tags are ready. My luggage has dust on it in the garage and I'm not touching them for another 4 weeks but gosh darnit I'm printing these luggage tag right now! Level 2 isn't much more exciting than Level 1 but those luggage tags are some physical artifact that the cruise is near.
Level 3: T-minus 2. My armpits are soaked from that 15 minutes of anticipatory hell constantly squinting and wondering "is that a second line or just an eyelash?", but the covid tests are negative. Level 3 is a Richter scale tier difference from Level 2.
Level 4: Liftoff. On board the ship. My flights made it, I got a great absolutely terrible night's sleep at the hotel like a kid on Christmas Eve, and I got through check-in with no issues. Let the fun begin.  Obviously Level 4 might as well be light years from Level 3.

Thank you!!!

I’ve done Alaska cruises on both radiance and ovation. As another poster said, on Radiance you can get much closer to glaciers and do a full turn so both sides of the ship can enjoy listening to the creaking glaciers. On ovation I was SO disappointed how far away we were and the lack of time spent at the glacier; the ship was just too large to get any closer safely. However, also as others have said, the venues on Ovation, like the shows and the cafe in Two70 are amazing, as well as iFly, and the Seaplex. We spent many many hours hiking the Alaska wilderness while in port (hiking upper Dewey lake is the hardest hike I’ve ever done and I live in the mountains of Utah) and found that there was still plenty of time to explore and enjoy the ship venues on sea days. Some day I’d like to take my 4 kids and personally will be choosing ovation or quantum when we go. 

What she said...!

Have been on both and the only two things I can think of is that Indy has Sorrento's and the Wipe out bar.  And the Navi is smaller.  I am sure this blog will point out to me and you more if I missed any.  lol  I love them both.

I'd say you can't go wrong with either one. While Indy is a little bit bigger, they each have similar amenities and would be a great ship for a cruise with the family. 
Personally, I think I'd actually pick Navigator.
