Hubby and I were fortunate to spend 30 days on Ovation when she was brand new we did the Barcelona to Singapore cruise. At that time Raven O was Spectra in Spectra's Cabaret and the show seemed as though it was made for him, he was fabulous! We loved the show and saw it almost everytime it played during the 30 days! Now, having said that, I am not sure that just anyone could fill Raven's shoes, he is a classic Cabaret entertainer in real life and was, as he should have been, the Star of the show. We will be on Ovation in August and then I will be able to make a comparison of then and now.
