just a day after the cruise ended, I already missed it. I woke up to my bedroom moving as if lulling me to sleep again. I thought I was still on a cruise, but no. I’m not yet ready to go back to my daily grind. Where have all those chill days gone?
Although my teammates here at The poor Traveler have gone on a cruise lots of times before, this was my first cruise ever. and it’s on Ovation of the Seas, no less. I was invited by royal Caribbean international to join one of their cruises before the season ends. going on a cruise was a novel concept to me. I just thought that I was not cut out for it. At some point, I thought I was living someone else’s dream, but as I spend a lot more time on the ship, the dream eventually became mine. and I was living it. You may say that I’m overreacting, but the experience conjured up this incredibly crazy desire to spend the rest of my life on a cruise ship. I didn’t want it to end.
It’s a common misconception that you can’t do much aboard a cruise ship. but doing a staycation and touring multiple countries in one go? That’s having the best of both worlds! The industry aims to give the best holiday for the guests, crafting and preparing onboard activities and events that will satisfy them and keep them entertained. here are some of the things I took pleasure in doing aboard royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas.

Food Trip!
Top (L – R): Windjammer, Chic, The Grande; bottom (L-R): American icon Grill, The cafe @ Two70, The Silk
This was my favorite thing to do: EAT! The large selection of food was something that my weak heart and strong appetite couldn’t resist. Windjammer market uses an international buffet for breakfast, dinner, and lunch. It’s literally having (inhale) pasta, bread, pastries, meat, burgers, hot dogs, fries, cookies, fruits, salad, rice, noodles, and soup (exhale) in one place.
If you like a a lot more unwinded dining experience, you may choose from any of the complimentary main dining places like The Grande, Chic, American icon Grill, Silk, and Solarium Bistro. If you are staying in one of the suites, you may also dine at Coastal Kitchen. I’ve tried The Grande, Chic, and Solarium Bistro. You just need to reserve a table beforehand considering that they are complimentary fine dining.
(Left) Wonderland, (Top Right) Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver, (Bottom Right) Izumi
If you are in the mood to splurge for some specialties and special items on the menu, you can select from the signature restaurants such as Izumi, Wonderland, Chef’s Table, Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver, and Chops Grille. I’ve tried Wonderland’s creative offerings and Jamie Oliver’s Italian cuisines. These restaurants require door charge and fees for other services.
Sometimes, you just want to get some food and eat them somewhere else or store them in your room and eat them later. cafe Promenade has the best cookies, and it also uses coffee and milk. It’s open 24 hours. Adjacent to cafe Promenade is Sorrento’s Pizza, which operates until after midnight (3 AM). I was guilty of hoarding cookies and milk from cafe Promenade at nighttime. Haha! Undskyld ikke undskyld.
(Left) Café Promenade, (Top Right) Sorrento’s Pizza, (Bottom Right) Seaplex pet dog House
Grab some soup and quick bites at The cafe @ Two70 or munch on your favorite hotdog sandwich at Seaplex pet dog House, which also has gourmet options. These are all complimentary. If you want to treat your sweet tooth cravings, you may do so at La Patisserie for a fee.
Bemærk:
Dress code applies when dining. It varies from casual to formal, depending upon the restaurant.
Bionic Bar
This one is a game changer. two robotic arm bartenders generally run this bar. To order, you just have to tap your card on one of the tablets located around the bar area, and then choose from the classic mixed drink menu or craft your own mix. enjoy the robotic arm bartenders fix the drink for you! For an introvert like me, I really think this is convenient, especially when I’m not in the mood for small talks and such. The Bionic Bar is powered by Makr Shakr and is genuinely making big waves.
Other bars and lounges on board are the pool Bar, Sunshine Bar, North star Bar, Two70 Bar, Schooner Bar, Vintages, and Boleros. These bars are not complimentary, so you need to open your wallets if you want to quench your thirst for alcohol. The diamond Club, however, is exclusively for Diamond, diamond Plus, and Pinnacle Club Crown & anchor society members only.

Seaplex og arkade
Guests from all age group will never run out of fun things to do here. just think of an onboard full-size basketball court that can be transformed into bumper cars and trucks space, roller skating area, and trapeze school?
