You are listening to this is Cruise Radio Rewind.

Real reviews from real cruisers.

This episode of Cruise Radio Rewind is a review of Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas.

This was a ship that was based in Asia, and then in 2019 and 2020, they decided to put the ship in Alaska, and it's been super popular. More on that in a second, though, because if you just got off of a cruise or if you're coming up on one and you would like to hear a review of that ship, drop me an email, Doug, atcruiseradio.net. I'll do my best to either move that review to the top of the stack. I'll try. I can't promise you anything. Or if I don't have that review, I'll find someone who has been on the ship, interview them, and put it in the queue.

And that's where this interview

comes in, because Scott just returned from Ovation of the Seas, and here's the interview we did. How you doing, Scott? I'm doing great. How are you today, Doug? Good, man. Thank you so much for calling in and sharing this review. I've been getting a lot of request for Ovation of the Seas,

and you are pulling it through, Scott. So I appreciate this time. You're giving calling in and sharing this review, I've been getting a lot of requests for Ovation of the Seas,

and you are pulling it through, Scott. So I appreciate this time you're giving me this evening.

So we're going to get started right from the beginning. Before we get to the ship itself,

we'll take a step back like we always do. Give me some pre-cruised thoughts. What made you want to

take this cruise on Ovation of the Seas in Alaska?

Yeah, for us, Alaska is our favorite destination.

And it was our 30th anniversary, my wife and I, and I have some kids as well, and some friends

were going along.

And so we just something that I loved taking friends to go there.

And when we heard about Ovation of the Seas, the biggest ship of the Caribbean's ever put into Alaska

was going to be coming over from Asia to do it.

I hopped all right on it, and we booked it the first day that the cruises were available

for that sailing. Did you find that when you booked it right out of the gate like that, that it was

a little bit cheaper? Yeah, we'll talk about it, we booked a suite, and I watch prices

all the time, and it never went down, especially Alaska.

You know, if the sooner the advice that people give, the sooner you book, the better off you're going to be.
