This is our second time onboard Ovation of the Seas. We originally cruised on her back in 2019 on a Transpacific Crossing from Sydney to Hawaii. I want to see if she still has what it takes to encourage cruise fans to get on board and cruise.
We had a opportunity to cruise on Ovation of the Seas again December 2025 for 4 nights a return trip from Singapore. We even managed to get upgraded to a Junior Suite, but that's another story.
Does Ovation of the Seas have what it takes to get cruisers onboard? Clearly Royal Caribbean has decided that as it is soon to be her 10th anniversary on the seas (she originally started back in April 2016) it is time for much needed updates.
Not only do I share what's currently onboard, but also show you the areas where Royal Caribbean is about to update in its Amplification program in April 2026. Ovation of the Seas will be ready to sail in to Alaska in the next season with many upgraded facilities onboard. Well done, Royal Caribbean.
I hope Ovation of the Seas makes it back to Australian or Asian waters after the upgrades, as I would really love to see the improvements that have been made.
Enjoy the video!
