QE2_Fan Posted April 16, 2016 #601 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Puzzle room is exactly the same scenario as on Anthem if you have done that..... And there is a soda machine in there too. Sent from my iPhone 6s using Tapatalk Thanks for all the Updates! What is this Puzzle room I've heard mentioned. Is it just a place to do jigsaw puzzles or is there more to it, like a giant maze puzzle or something?! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted April 16, 2016 #602 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks for all the Updates! What is this Puzzle room I've heard mentioned. Is it just a place to do jigsaw puzzles or is there more to it, like a giant maze puzzle or something?! Thanks! It is like a Krypton factor/ team building exercise. 14 are locked in a room, you have to find clues, solve them and find the code to escape.....very cleverly done. It is only on a few times a day and as you can imagine with only 14 participants there is no possibility that everyone can do it. Sign up early if you are interested. It is in a little room just before Seaplex, I don't think it is marked on the deck plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Ade As an aside, I was talking to a friend of mine who said his friend did one in Cardiff. He said they locked them in there, and rather than do the puzzles, he took it upon himself to use his swiss army knife to take things apart in the room, like pictures off walls, furniture and that. He got a bill ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that done at Seaplex or at a guess Services? Also is it open to all ages? My son 14 and I would probably like to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horshamflyer Posted April 17, 2016 #613 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Just done a test in the solarium. I find it hard to believe these figures as it is pretty fast for me. No problems opening and replying to these posts for example... We've cruised on Anthem twice and the speed and signal has been better than I get on my BT broadband at home. I was even face timing from the North Star over the side of the ship with no freezing of signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look out for it in the Royal iq app. As I said space is limited!

jetset763 Posted April 17, 2016 #619 Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Just had a fabulous 3 days aboard Ovation! What a beautiful ship and amazing crew. We have never encountered such a friendly and welcoming crew before! Every moment was a joy - so many areas to hang out in and lots of good entertainment. We are still not sure what Spectre's Caberet or the Dream was but the technical aspects and cast were fantastic! Food was excellent, we never saw Windjammers busy at all apart from when we got on. The Solarium was fantastic! Great being able to use the pools when it is freezing outside! Room was excellent - very spacey, big bed that my feet didn't hang off and a lovely bathroom with powerful shower. We would certainly cruise on her again. Having just returned on the P&O Britannia a few weeks ago and having the most horrific time my faith in cruising has been restored.

papcx Posted April 17, 2016 #620 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hi jetset. Quantum class is something else! And glad to hear the crew have hit the ground running. Without hijacking the thread, what was so bad on Britannia? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset763 Posted April 17, 2016 #621 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Food and service mainly, food was horrible - cold and bland with small portion sizes. Service was basically non existent - borderline rude most of the time. We are a friendly couple with good manners but it was impossible to spark up any kind of conversation! There was little atmosphere too, not much live music around the ship made all the areas feel very cold. The few areas there was were far too small for the size of the ship. Our review is here (it's very critical lol!) Video reviews of Ovation coming soon! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted April 17, 2016 #624 Share Posted April 17, 2016 We've cruised on Anthem twice and the speed and signal has been better than I get on my BT broadband at home. I was even face timing from the North Star over the side of the ship with no freezing of signal. The lower speed could be because Ovation is currently in the O3b limited service area. She has to get south of France before she is in the standard service area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
