hi Ben and David..I'm one of your subscribers and when I googled youtube for a ship tour of the ovation of the seas your clip was the first to show..thanks David for walking the ship for us..I have a cruise booked on her for this January..we be cruising from Sydney up to Airlie Beach..I've been trying to find plans/pics of my internal cabin, but not a great deal of luck..having a ship tour before cruising helps for orientating's oneself before going, mind you, I'll still probably get lost..chuckle..have a merry Christmas gentlemen from all the way down under..

[@Philstoned]

Glad to see that you guys had also a humble start of making KZbin video content 6years on and look at you I would love to go on a cruise with both of you and learn videography and having a great time. Thanks to you I went on a cruise for the first time in my life and now I am also a cruiseholic 😂

Just did a repositioning cruise from Singapore to Beijing aboard the Ovation, such an amazing vessel! The real highlight for me was the Vintages wine bar and the fantastic wine and whiskey tastings. An experience I will never forget!!

[@Cruisewith]

[@Cruisewith]

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you. :-D

[@baichiblog]

I was on my honeymoon on Ovation of the Seas from 11th to 15th Mar 2017 fro Singapore to Phuket. 1) The North Star only worked for for few hours on first morning of the cruise. It never worked after and most guests never got their ride they paid for and there would be no compensation, nor apology. Thousands of guests would just have to suck it up. 2) Many guests were not able to get a ride on iFLY during to lack in reservations. Out of our party of 4, only 2 of us manage to get reservations on the LAST session on the LAST day of the cruise. We were lucky to get half of what we paid for. THANK GOD! 3) The Chinese food on board is horrendous. Singaporeans can expect to get much better Chinese food from our streets than on-board. Do NOT expect Chinese food from the Silk restaurant, despite its Chinese decor and name. This restaurant serves the EXACTLY same menu as the other 3 complimentary restaurants. The salmon is especially rubbery during our first meal on the 12th at Silk restaurant. Meals improved on other restaurants on other days as long as we stayed far from any dish Chinese. (PS The Chinese fare at Kungfu Panda restaurant is just as poor. Take your cue from the lack of customers there.) For elderly Chinese guests, the "老干妈" sauce at the 4 restaurants helps to make some dishes more palatable for them. 4) A 3D movie of Kungfu panda scheduled on the program was simply cancelled without prior notice nor apologies. Feel sorry for the kids waiting blindly outside the theatre. 5) An open-air movie on the pool deck for "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them" was played an hour earlier and at the wrong time, despite clock changes while we travelled to Phuket and we missed the movie. 6) The seaplex is mostly full. It is almost impossible for most guests to get a bumper car ride during to severe under-capacity. The ships is satisfied to idle the seaplex for guests to let guest play BASKETBALL for most times. Only if you queue BEFORE activity starting about 20 minutes, can guests even get a spot for roller skating or trapeze. Why idle the facilities when they can ramp up offerings to serve demand? I have no idea. 7) Events in the afternoons were severely lacking and guests can expect to be entertained as the ship ropes in housekeeping staff to demonstrate how to fold SIX towels into animal shapes (the event even started 15min late)! 8) Only 3 X-box units were functional out of 6 when we trying to play. In the end, the kids would be hogging the units, and majority of guests should not expect to get any play. 9) Conclusion: Food and service were alright for the most part. Events were poorly organised, but a few night shows redeemed the cruise experience somewhat. (The night shows feel rushed but that helps to shorted the shows so that they can have one more session a night). *IMPORTANT: Do NOT trust you will get your experiences on North Star or iFLY despite paying for them.

[@baichiblog]

"As indicated previously, we regret to learn of your displeasure with your experience on the North Star, however, no compensation will be issued" Judi Michel Royal Guest Experience Management Me: What experience did I get ON the North Star? It was not even working.

[@budstar6385]

In January 2017 I spent $15k for a 10 night sailing from Sydney - Australia to various ports of the South Island of New Zealand with my husband and 4 year old son. Completely agree with all your points as this was also our experience. I thought Royal Carribean was the best luxury cruise line but was sadly mistaken, deceived and ripped off.

[@baichiblog]

Food and bed are alright. The events and activities are horrible in terms of under-capacity and planning.

[@jimmy27899]

We just got off the ship on Nov 8, 2017 Vietnam Tour Minuses - poor management. Long lines at dinner with 4000+ people, you do not have an assigned table even if you registered for early dinning. Long lines at the buffet, hard to find seating place - food taste is poor, more like a school cafeteria. Lots of starch and carbohydrates, not much meat. Chinese food not authentic.. - They charge money for Northstar, bumper cars, Pixel VIP (make sure you reserve for regular pixel once on ship, thats free) - they cancel one of the ports Da Nang due to bad weather (theres only 2 ports to visit on this trip, the other is Nha Trang) Pluses - Very modern ship - Theater 2-70 (Pixel show) is very nice and modern with ocean views and robots - Many night shows, reservations not required - Crowd is mostly asians, young and old, they are quite polite. - the room is nice with a good shower - the person that cleans our room was excellent

[@cmation8792]

actually, you don't pay just to get on the iFLY or the North Star when sailed on anthem.

[@alixmoses9449]

How does the main dining room work on ovation? Do you have to have reservations at each MDR or are you given an assigned table in each room?

[@andrewhardy3904]

wow this channel has changed a lot !

[@ParisHedger]

This is amazing!

[@sineadcusack9744]

My parents are going ovation of the seas in April this year

[@BXVKE]

I get to go on it for 14 days I'm so excited

[@Cruisewith]

Have a fantastic trip Blake. She is a wonderful ship!

[@Mae-oi1mz]

Is everything free including the food?

[@faziliyanurelina1894]

Alhamdulillah gara2 punya bos baik,aku di ajak naik Cruise ini😍

[@sharknadoandgirlygirl5584]

I WAS ON THE FIRST VOYAGE ON THE OVATION OF THE SEAS

[@cameronduck5030]

Is it worth waiting 12months + for?

[@Cruisewith]

Yep well worth it. Its a fantastic ship.

[@jennybentancort1683]

oh! and yes congras for your music... how do you do it so well ?

[@bradenchou7338]

When is the best time to reserve the North Star?

[@DoggosGames]

I don't remember it looking this goddamn good

[@amityrose9984]

My husband and I are hoping to travel on this in 2022 for our 30th Wedding Anniversary .

[@JAMESFERNANDEZ]

North Star doesn't go outside the ship!?? just up and down? how i can book it in advance!? going on Ovation next May10h in Bcn!

[@Cruisewith]

+JAMES FERNANDEZ Hi James, Thanks for watching! You can book in advance via the RCL website. If you go to manage my booking you can add reservations, buy drinks packages and dining. On our cruise it did not go off the side no. When you are at the top it turns slightly to each side.

[@JAMESFERNANDEZ]

+Honest Cruising thanks a lot! Still watching your vídeo right now! lol

[@helmutross6077]

H ola ¿Tiene el crucero servicio de enfermería para alguna emergencia médica ? Saludos desde Chile 🙋🏻‍♂️🇨🇱?

[@Chloeytacc44]

Yes it does

[@carmelaandmikeweeks2908]

You lucky stiff!! Enjoy.....🌹🇧🇪

[@JAMESFERNANDEZ]

Another question, how many main restaurants are included on the cruise!?

[@Cruisewith]

+JAMES FERNANDEZ There is 4 main restaurants included. Chic, The Grande, American Icon Grill and Silk.

[@Cruisewith]

+JAMES FERNANDEZ Four main dining rooms, buffet, pizza place and a few other snack type places are free of charge.

[@JAMESFERNANDEZ]

+Honest Cruising thank u! just left the ship and loved it! 👏👏😉

[@HiHi-xc6mz]

I went on this ship amazing

[@margaretdubignon9303]

we sail on it from Singapore 23rd November.

[@sharknadoandgirlygirl5584]

In the ROYAL ESQQUONARD YOU CAN PURCHASE ROLEX WATCHS

[@walkdriveexplore]

Hi, Thx for uploading video. We are sailing on her from Dubai-Singapore. Boarding Ovation on May 26th! Are drinks expensive? Is it worth buying Premium Drinks Package?

[@Cruisewith]

+gregory russell Hi thanks for watching! Its hard to say and depends on each individual person. Drinks are more expensive than land but expected for a cruise line. It was around $13 for a cocktail plus tips and tax. You need to work out what and how much you drink. Would you be drinking every day? We also we found it was nice just to order a drink without worrying about the bill at the end of the cruise. For us personally we would always get a drinks package, possibly premium rather than ultimate. You can see the differences in the packages here: media.royalcaribbean.com/content/shared_assets/pdf/menus/beverage_packages.pdf Hope that helps! :-)

[@lifeofcruisin8529]

Are u going to do harmony of the seas ?

[@Cruisewith]

+Jacob Bentley We are! In October.

[@CollectMoments4K]

we were on that ship from singapore to beijing !! It was such an awesome experience and we vlogged everything :) I want to go back in time xD

[@Cruisewith]

Lucky you! We would love to have another sailing on her.

[@davidjoseph590]

Lower the background music so we can hear your voice better. Great video, thanks..

[@rickohler8593]

Thank you for a great review. Couple of questions if I may, do reservations for the shows have to be made prior to sailing? Secondly, one of our hesitations about sailing on the Quantum class ships is the shear number of passengers, was it noticeable at restaurants, shows, etc. in terms of wait times?

[@nicholasnolan4143]

love how they call them quantum class ships makes me feel like I'm in starwars or something lol

[@Cruisewith]

You do feel like your in something from the future!

[@dassanjukta]

Arent Ifly and Northstar complementary anymore?

[@YazWerks]

Was there an arcade? Last royal Caribbean cruise I went on had an arcade and I spent pretty much the whole holiday there 😂. Ovation looks phenomenal though!

[@iomega3373]

Kizmick Monster It's located near SeaPlex (Deck 3), I think.

[@mercedezjava]

Kizmick Monster yes there is !

[@margaretdubignon9303]

How do you book to go on the North Star?

[@Cruisewith]

You can book it though the Manage My Booking on the Royal Carribean website or the Royal IQ App once your are onboard. I would highly reccomend booking beofre sailing.

[@HiHi-xc6mz]

The restraints are amazing

[@HiHi-xc6mz]

Plz reply

[@Cruisewith]

Yeah, they are really fantastic and so much choice. Wonderland is one of the best restaurants I have seen. Which is your favorite restaurant onboard?

[@HiHi-xc6mz]

Honest Cruising we went to wonderland and it was amazing they had so much different food that u would have never tried and the sky diving was amazing thx for replying I went this summer in Australia

[@Cruisewith]

The skydiving was also our favorite part of our trip. We absolutely loved it. At first, 1 minute sounds short but it feels like an eternity when you are in the tube.

[@carolnichols1900]

Wonderful review but the background music is so very loud! Hard to hear your voice but music blasts you out.

[@priyankarohra1483]

who else is going May 21st, 2020, from Seattle to Alaska?

[@lerouxly67]

Very well done.

[@mitchellgreen6478]

[@Cruisewith]

Yes the Windjammer Buffet is included in the price of your cruise.
