Embarkation in Sydney and ports of call on tenders in Vanuatu was a breeze on this ship. Bravo to the crew, as this sailing was very full. We were in an ocean view cabin on the 7th deck. The cabins are very comfortable, with heaps of storage space. On the first day we were shuffled into the spa and heavily pushed into a treatment, which I booked the 2nd day of the sailing. The spa's prices are ...

Travelled on this holiday with my husband and 2 teenage daughters. We have cruised before but not with RC and have travelled extensively overseas. This holiday sits at one of the best holidays! The checkin process was very easy and we found ourselves on the boat earlier than expected. The holiday started immediately! Despite the boat being at full capacity during the duration of the whole ...

This was my 9th Cruise, and 5th with RC. We could have done the same itinerary on the same ship immediately before this sailing for about half the price, but we thought this would be "special" being a Christmas / New Years cruise, so we had high expectations. I asked RC on the phone prior to the cruise if there would be fireworks from the ship on NYE. They said yes which i was so excited about. ...

Last year, we went on our first cruise on Quantum of the Seas and enjoyed the experience of sailing out of Sydney Harbour so much that we booked our second cruise to New Zealand on the sister ship, Ovation of the Seas. We booked an 11 night cruise that visited Picton, Napier, Wellington and Dunedin as well as Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds. Overall, the trip was smooth sailing across the ...

Ovation of the seas - was old , tired , uncomfortable and had very very disappointing food on our christmas cruise ---and no one from royal carribbean gives a damn- couldn't care less--don't want to know that their furnishings were threadbare in many of the lounges/bars and public areas --that food in cafe 270 smelt rancid, the bed was almost un-sleep-able, the entertainment was absolutely awful, ...

I am a Diamond member with more that 18 years cruising with Royal Caribbean. Captain Ryan did not tell the true story about sick passengers. returning the vessel back to Sidney. There was only One sick passenger smiling and shaking hands when getting out from the ship and lot of musicians that came out when we returned to Sidney on Day 3. NONE unconscious passenger as we were told by the ...

However, ...
