Day 2 Vlog is now posted

We saw "Pixel's Cabaret" in 270 on our ship. It was super energetic and definitely made use of all of the cool features of the venue. I was exhausted just watching the dancers - they were doing a full-on PX90 workout on stage for 40 minutes.

We were on deck 10 which was great. However, if we hadn't have had perfect weather I don't know that we would have used the balcony at all. The ship has great views from 270 and the Solarium which are inside and publicly accessible. That being said, Port side is the way to go. 4 out of 5 ports we had a great (non gangway) view of the harbor.

We are just at DAK for the day. But we are here all the time so let's plan on meeting soon. We'll even buy the first round. 😁

I'm curious if Carlington was your conceirge as well? He was great. As for Disney, we may or may not be there right now 😁. One of the benefits of living an hour away.

There were definitely some service issues due to staffing shortages, but on the whole it was a great cruise. Having access to the concierge lounge and Coastal Kitchen helped a lot.

Absolutely. It is in a great location and was only $197 a night. They have a shuttle that will take you to the cruise terminal leaving every 30 minutes (it is $10 a passenger). Approximately a 10 minute ride in traffic.

Hi everyone, We just came back from our very first Royal Caribbean Cruise on the Ovation of the Seas. We sailed May 27th - June 3rd from Seattle with stops in Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, and Victoria. We won our RoyalUp bid for a Grand Suite, so we were able to travel first-class for our first Royal Caribbean outing. We had amazing weather for the entire trip and an overall great time. I will be writing up a more detailed Cruise Report over the weekend. We are putting out travel vlogs from the cruise if you are interested in seeing more:
