We have Ovation booked for Alaska. 3 night dining package and Sushi/Sake Lunch both had tips added at checkout. Going forward bet you see additional charge added to all items.
We have Ovation booked out of Seattle in September 2022. Wanted the extra time in port at Victoria.
Bet you will be fine with either. Have read very good reviews for Ovation.
Yes. We ate breakfast there ever morning, lunch most days, and dinner once.
Food was good.
Suggest you go early for breakfast, by 8:00 am. Very crowed after that time.
Khakis and Button Down is fine. That is what I wear every cruise.
That said, on Allure this may we had a Sergeant Major who wore Dress Blues. Was nice to see.
GO ARMY.
Your vacation dress how you feel.
Was on Allure 3 weeks ago, probably 30% to 40% were wearing shorts.
Only reason for Formal Dress Your Best nights is so Royal can sell photos.
We were on Allure two weeks ago. Had MTD reservations each night at 6:30 pm. Slight wait for tables on most nights.
What I didn't enjoy was being seated at a new table each night. Never had a chance to build up relationship with wait staff.
Have MTD booked again on Ovation in September. Not hearing good comments.
