Actually I know from planning our cruise Ovation has a deck thirteen . 

I’ve looked in the app for what use to be the safety briefing. It’s not there for either of my cruises. Or does it show up closer to the cruise date. It was nice to complete that before boarding. 

I want to order bon voyage decorations for my daughter’s cabin in August. We are also on this cruise but when you try to order it is only available for our cabin. Has anybody done this before or any suggestions. Thanks 

We will be boarding Ovation in August at this pier. I watched a few videos on You tube. I must say compared to say MiA and FLL it does not look well organized. People were saying there was no real info on even where to leave their luggage. So what experience has anybody else had at this port. 

T-minus 111 days and that will be my view

So my daughter son in law and grandson will be sailing with us in a separate cabin. Anybody know why we can’t seem to have a picture taken together. Seems ridiculous for a such a restriction. 

And for now she’s sailed out of my price range.

Well we’re now giving away how old we are.

Will be on Ovation in August. Will definitely now check out Cafe270. 

I guess they don’t thing seniors drink as much as everybody else. Just saved $189 on symphony April sailing and $165 on august ovation sailing. 
It appears the deluxe beverage package is the only item included.

They’ve made a lot of changes with the recent updates. I can’t seem to find the option to link reservations anymore. I wanted to link our one cruise with my daughter who is on the cruise also. 
 

Can a courtesy hold be transferred to our travel agent. Our agent is out of town and returns Tuesday. We’re try to plan a family cruise and we selected one and has cabins right next to each other. We were going to put the hold on today. 

Here’s an observation why do quantum class ships have a deck 13? Looking at Ovation next august and noticed this. Checked other quantum class and saw deck 13 also..

Figured it out. The room with two people I chose to select my cabin. The room with three there’s apparently no extra charge to pick your cabin. 

I’m doing some mock pricing for Ovation for Alaska cruise in August. Pricing two cabins on the same deck 11 I get a $700 difference. One cabin for two adults and child under twelve. One cabin for just two adults. These are both balcony’s on deck eleven. 
So the cabin for three is $700 cheaper is this a typical Royal malfunction. 

We are having a family discussion on an Alaskan cruise in August. Looking at the two ships is there enough to do to keep a 10yr old grandson busy? The debate is coming down to a cruise on an Oasis class ship instead. We’ve been on that class and I’m sure he could keep very busy on them. 

What are the chances that Royal also increased the employees base pay?  Probably not and what was their recent profit report? Like others have said increase prices and downgrade services for what we as their customers pay.

Locked with TSA approved and AirTags inside. Also a strap around the inside which makes them easily identifiable from a distance on the luggage belts.

I’m looking at one of these loungers for our cruise in April. I’m just not sure from the description where exactly they are located. Curious if anybody has rented one.

This past May I was able to make my lunch reservation on embarkation day on Harmony. And had another delicious lunch.

This past weekend while we were disembarking there were people complaining at 9:00 they couldn’t get on board yet. The agent was trying to tell them they were too early and not everybody was off the ship. Wife and I just stood there  thinking some people really don’t get it.

We were just on Harmony last week. As for MDR we had good meals. All food was hot and we were no longer than 1hr 10 mins which was pretty much in line with last years cruise. We ate lunch and breakfast twice in the Solarium Bistro and had no complaints. We ate in Chops one night which was the Mexican night which is food I really don’t have an appetite for. 
My wife’s pork chop on Carribean night she said was tender and delicious but she couldn’t finish it.

Overall we were quite happy surprisingly with the food on this cruise.
