Join me onboard the incredible Ovation of the Seas for a full and comprehensive ship tour. Filmed at the end of 2022, this tour shows Ovation of the Seas in its most recent condition.
We’ll begin with the cafe @two70, where you can find casual and complimentary food items all day, as well as barista made coffee.
Two70 is up next, an incredible entertainment venue that by day, offers amazing views across a 270 degree field of view from the panoramic windows.
Upstairs, the library and internet cafe are tucked away, as well as The Workshop.
Downstairs on Deck 4, the Next Cruise Desk is where you can reserve a future voyage.
Park West offers an art gallery and sales onboard. Vintages is the wine bar, offering tapas dishes plus an extensive wine list.
Jamie’s Italian is the Jamie Oliver-inspired speciality restaurant. With an Italian menu, and even al fresco seating.
The Via merges with the beginning of the Royal Esplanade.
The Royal Esplanade is where you’ll find, among other things, Shore Excursions, Wonderland, Izumi, Schooner Bar, La Patisserie, Sorrento’s Pizzeria, Cafe Promenade and of course Bionic Bar.
Chops Grille is another speciality venue, and one of my favourites onboard Royal Caribbean’s fleet of ships.
Focus is the photo gallery, with tech-forward screens allowing people to simply tap their Sea Pass card and review their photos for purchase.
The Royal Theatre is a two level main theatre, where production shows are held throughout the cruise.
The Diamond Club is available for Diamond and above members of the Crown and Anchor loyalty program.
The butterfly wall is just one of Ovation of the Seas unique art installations - do you know how to make all of the butterflies take off at once?
The Music Hall is an incredible two level area, designed for socialising, dancing and of course music. With two bars, pool tables, a bandstand and dance floor, this is a popular venue onboard.
Additional shops in the Royal Esplanade make way for the Amber and Oak Pub - with craft beers, snacks and cocktails.
Boleros is the Latin club onboard, with mojitos and salsa dancing!
Guest Services is where you can get assistance with any of your cruise related queries.
The casino is located on Deck 3, and is a mammoth space with a range of gaming tables and slot machines.
Up to Deck 4 to inspect the restaurants. Unlike the multi-level main dining rooms of other Royal Caribbean ships, Ovation of the Seas possesses 4 smaller restaurant spaces. This staircase connects all 4 dining rooms.
Each restaurant has its own unique theme, decor and design. When launched, the Quantum Class ships were all designed to operate with a new dining concept called Dynamic Dining. Each restaurant was supposed to offer its own unique menu, connected to the name and design of the space. The concept was relatively short lived, and now, despite the difference in appearance, each restaurant offers the same nightly dinner menu. Still, it is enjoyable to have unique surrounds - personally, I always liked the sound of Dynamic Dining. Let me know in the comments below if you had a chance try it out for yourself.
Upstairs, we’ll look at the SeaPlex and dodgem cars. Plus we’ll see where iFly, the FlowRider and rock climbing are held. We’ll take a full lap of Deck 15 as we inspect the running track, the main outdoor and indoor pools, the kid-friendly Splashaway Bay and the North Star.
The Vitality Salon and Spa, plus fitness centre are up next.
We’ll finish the tour with the stunning adults only Solarium and Solarium Bistro - another complimentary dining venue onboard.
I hope you enjoyed watching my tour of the Ovation of the Seas!
