It sounds like Bard hit it on the head.  The only thing missing are the pictures. 

I asked Bard, Google’s new answer to ChatGPT, to write a blog post about my upcoming cruise on Ovation OT Seas. Here it is. 
I recently had the pleasure of taking a cruise on Ovation of the Seas from Hawaii to Vancouver. It was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing vacation.
The ship itself is absolutely stunning. It's one of the largest cruise ships in the world, and it's packed with amenities and activities. There's something for everyone on board, whether you're looking to relax by the pool, explore the onboard shops, or take part in one of the many activities.
I especially enjoyed the ship's two theater shows. The first show, "The Music of the Night," is a tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals. The second show, "A Chorus Line," is a classic musical that tells the story of a group of dancers auditioning for a Broadway show. Both shows are incredibly well-produced and feature talented cast members.
I also enjoyed the ship's many restaurants. There's everything from casual buffets to fine dining restaurants on board. I especially enjoyed the Italian restaurant, Jamie's Italian. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent.
The cruise itself was a great experience. We stopped at several ports in Hawaii, including Honolulu, Maui, and Kauai. Each port was beautiful, and there was plenty to do and see. I especially enjoyed hiking in the rainforest on Kauai.
The cruise ended in Vancouver, and I was sad to see it go. It was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing vacation.
Here are some tips for planning your own cruise:
Book your cruise well in advance, especially if you're traveling during peak season. Choose a cruise line and itinerary that fits your interests and budget. Pack light clothing, as you'll be spending most of your time in the sun. Don't forget to pack your sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. Enjoy your cruise!

My wife and I are booked. Question if any one knows. There is a post on RCL that a pre-test covid test is needed, but can be "self-administered" ... the statement on RCL website is as clear as mud.
Canada does not require any test to enter country, and we are Canadian, so the testing rcl talks about seems very strange.
Does anyone know what process will be needed at boarding?
 
thanks

Exactly!

Early and dislike
Hubs usually comes back into room and works for a couple hours after breakfast.  It's nice to have it all serviced by then.  But I also love coming back in after our evening around the ship to a turned down bed, dim lights, and a bathroom cleaned up after our pre-dinner showers.  
As for not needing what you don't get at home - the whole point of a vacation is to be pampered!

Surprisingly, I didn't look for this board until now.  I'll be on board with my wife, 2 adult children and their significant others, my MiL and her husband, my wife's sister, her husband, and their two children (one in college, one in high school).  That's 12 of us, 6 cabins.
It's surprising we still can't book any dining for this cruise.  Royal, take my money!  PLEASE!

I'm on the cruise from Hawaii to Vancouver in May.  It's put some into a tizzy, especially those that are unvaxxed.  They had till yesterday to cancel after the rules were changed.  I think it mostly has to do with the fact that the cruise came from Australia.  There are many passengers doing the B2B, Australia --> Hawaii --> Vancouver.  Damn, I wish I was!!! Oh well, another time.  I think they don't want to differentiate between those that ended in Hawaii vs those that just got on there. That's the only reason I can think of. 
So, will Vancouver --> Hawaii be affected?  First thought, probably not.  But you never know.  None of us on this sailing know exactly why Royal put this regulation in.  We also have to self-test before boarding (at least no proctoring needed, but so easy to cheat). So you'll have to wait and see.  But it's possible and you'll have a chance to make a change, even if it's after final payment.

Guess what came today!
Only 15 months late. As they say, better late than never. 

I think they will!  Keep us posted and good luck!

Just got home from our last cruise.  We stepped into our house which had just been spit shined by our  Daughter in Law and Grandson while we were gone, and found this most wonderful ever-changing light base for our crystal block.
It's so wonderful to be loved.🥰
 

I don't like it better.  It's part of the rhythm of cruising for us.  It's one of the things that makes us feel pampered on a cruise. My wife and I will miss it.

Hello, my wife is currently pregnant but we booked a cruise for March 2025. This is one year past the expected due date of our child. One the book page I just put in random information for the child that will be sailing with us. Would this information be able to be changed later once name and date of birth is set? I'd hate if I had to cancel and rebook possibly losing any discounts and early pricing.
