tdiazfarmer Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Does anyone have any insight to whether there will be changes to Ovation when it moves to Alaska next summer (2019). We are booked for June 14-21 and have been on Anthem, just wondered if they will have Broadway/West End type Broadway show, etc. It does not appear to have this type of entertainment now. I understand there is a NOODLE place instead of Johnny Rockets? Any other differences that folks are aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I'm betting they won't make major changes for a seasonal shift from May to September but that is speculation on my part. Installing a Broadway show is a major effort. It takes weeks just to get the set installed. They are custom made for each ship. The ship is only in US waters for 5 months.

twangster Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Just realized @tdiazfarmer that we will be on the same Ovation sailing as you. See you next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBC1 Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Booked 24th May, was on Ovation in May, so would love to know what changes could be made JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_KY Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 This may be an indicator, albeit small. I've been on the Radiance twice: Hawaii (repositioning from Australia/NZ) and then an Alaska cruise. The one change I noticed was Rita's Catina was changed to Rita's Crab Shack. I imagine small changes will take place. Enjoy - you will love Alaska. JBC1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, at the NextCruise office on Harmony I talked with someone who had a manager id and asked him what changes there would be on Ovation next year. He told me that only some small changes will take places. Nothing about a Broadway show or anything else. It doesn't matter, it's a great ship and an awesome trip. twangster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the message boards! Pixels is the only bookable show on Ovation. All main theater entertainment is first come, first seated.

It looks like he posted that about 10 months ago. Likely changed since he did respond to the roll call for next weeks initial Alaska. Sorry for chiming in but we are one week out so i’m getting excited. SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 I was originally doing Ovation in June but my other guests wanted to do something else. When I cancelled Spectrum it opened up the May 13 special Ovation itinerary which was too attractive to pass up. SpeedNoodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eas21 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 as far as i have researched the izumi doesnt offer hibachi service which is a real disappointment since i missed it on harmony. rockets is pictured on RCL incentive (business conferences) site but isnt listed on deck plans. so as far as that goes, i dont think they have any idea if to leave as is or what. booked for august, from what i have seen on youtube and then these issues I may talk to TA and see if can switch to radiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
