MandM Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 OVATION OF THE SEAS Hi All, We are traveling in a few weeks on Ovation of the seas and We are trying to see if you need to book in advance for the North Star? Is anyone able to help as to whether we need to book in advance or what happens? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi @MandM I have not cruised yet BUT having read things on here and other sites I took the chance to book North Star and Rip Cord I Fly for my Ovation cruises in March. Strongly suggest you do too - if they are still available - as if you don't you could end up queuing for quite some time apparently. Enjoy.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Leaving in a few weeks? Yikes. Hopefully there are still some spots left for you. For my sailing on Anthem in March, North Star bookings were gone over a month ago. They go fast. If you aren't able to get a spot try to make a reservation once you get on board. Also keep checking your cruise planner because they might always open more spots or people might cancel. Last but not least, I have read some reviews on other sites where people claim that on port days and embarkation day you don't need a reservation, you just get in line.

Thanks again Unfortunately, some of these newer and bigger ships you do need to book things ahead of time. Good luck and like I said, keep trying even if nothing shows up right now. You never know.

Thanks again You can also book entertainment, at least in the US on Anthem, a sister ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonNZ Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hi, We travelled on Ovation last year and I would highly recommend booking the North Star. At the beginning of the cruise the lines were pretty long and they were only taking walk up if guests who had booked didn't turn up. Towards the end of the cruise there did seem to be shorter lines but they were never "short". If you can book... do book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, I think it was less than a month out when the bookings opened up. For our cruise in late December the Waverider lessons still haven't opened up for booking. You can see them but you are unable to complete the "#guest+date+time" selections.... hopefully it'll open up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1guynz Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Northstar and Ripcord never came up as an option for our cruise on Ovation sailing from Singapore next week. RCCL does change their operating procedures for the Asian market which is why I think they are not available on our cruise planner. We also only have one dining package to choose from. You should be sailing out of Aus/NZ so it should show up soon. MandM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
