Cruiser Ian Posted March 23, 2016 #302 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Just posted on "All things Ovation.." thread. The absence of a Broadway Show on Ovation was confirmed to me on Twitter and is absolutely contrary to what Royal Caribbean had advertised. @MyRoyalUK this #myclubroyal flyer specifically promotes a Broadway Show myclubroyal.co.uk/assets/_rccl/p… Am I being short-changed? I wouldn't look to cancel because of this but it seems blatantly misleading, particularly leaving it so late. Royal must have been aware for quite some time that they weren't going to deliver on their promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Ian Posted March 23, 2016 #303 Share Posted March 23, 2016 More from Twitter.. @markfazzy @RoyalCaribbean Sorry Mark, the arrangements for wow bands is slightly different on Ovation of the Seas. Slightly different = a $5 charge. Tiny in itself but relevant in the context of this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruise is booked, the money has been paid ..... there's 22 days to go. No matter what info there is, it's too late. So who cares really .....

Cruiser Ian Posted March 23, 2016 #313 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'm in that camp too, I just want a good cruise and I love Royal Caribbean. But at what point do you consider that Royal Caribbean have been misleading in their advertised product? I suspect that if you bought a new car which advertised a top-of-the-range multi-media entertainment system and then you discovered (not told by the vendor) that it was just an old radio, you'd probably expect at least an explanation and an apology. In fact, you'd probably expect the dealer to put it right or pay compensation. Why is it ok for Royal Caribbean to offer no explanation or apology, let alone any monetary compensation? Could they just decide to drop one or more of the restaurants or not open one of the pools? (Btw the answer is probably yes...) The entertainment is a key component of the cruise offer and, at the moment, the Ovation feels like the poor relation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonqueen Posted March 23, 2016 #320 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Show girls remain: Two70 Vistarama Spectras Cabaret Main Theatre The dream Live, Love, Legs Music Hall Rock The Boat So does this mean that we have got the music hall after all & not an extended casino......Absolutely love Rock the Boat, I also saw this on our April 17th roll call Looks like the Wild Boys 80s cover band are confirmed for this cruise and the ones before and after. http://www.wildboys80sband.co.uk/publicshows.php Saw them on the Quantum, they were a great live band. So at least thats something in the entertainment line to look forward to! So glad to hear that we have got the Music Hall after all, I really like the way the entertainment is shaping up, lots of variety & only 5 days to get to see it all. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vino123 Posted March 23, 2016 #321 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I agree Donna. Plenty of entertainment there to keep us happy for 5 days. Not to mention all the fabulous dining options. Also from past experience Royal are pretty generous compensating passengers when things go wrong while on a cruise. On the Maiden Quantum transatlantic everyone got $300 refundable on board credit and a future cruise certificate to the value of 25% of their cruise fare. That was because things weren't quite ready, such as the bionic bar, 270 screens were still being installed and quite a few workmen were on board although those of us in inside cabins all got free upgrades to balconies to accommodate them so we didn't mind!

southwestie Posted March 23, 2016 #322 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Got this answer from RCI today You will only be able to book entertainment after embarkation through the IQ app. thats worth knowing, but does it mean early boards get in first , we board early so its ok but many wont be able to use the app until later and indeed many wont have an app at all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eel Posted March 24, 2016 #323 Share Posted March 24, 2016 We were able to book times for IFly and NorthStar today on both the May 10 and May 26 sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess, as I've not been on RCI, in about 5 years. April 21 cruisers can book, flow rider, north star and ifly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the context of the thread they're all the same so no 'poor relation' there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
