I've always stayed in a balcony cabin on Ovation but as I am shouting my family a free cruise for 10 of them, they have told me they would be happy with cheaper oceanview staterooms. I know these are located on deck 3 where the casino and Music Hall are also located and am worried that there may be a lot of noise heard in the cabins late at night from those venues. If anyone has ever stayed on deck 3 and could share their experience, I would be very grateful.

Hi everyone Looking to book a 7 night cruise for our family group of 10 for November on Ovation. It is expensive at the moment but I'm keen to book now to get cabins close together. If I book direct through RCI, will they give me the cheaper price if they drop the price of the cruise later? My understanding is they will match the cheaper price as long as it is before final payment. Would they also price match if I booked through an online cruise site and not directly through them? I understand that the price I will pay will most likely be what I commit to now and I'm okay with that but would just like to know if thrre is a chance I may get a price match later on if they reduce the price of the cruise.

My husband and I usually book Anytime Dining but looking at taking our family with us next time. We will be a party of 10 so will do first seating as will be best for the grandchildren. I think it is at 6.15pm. Is this correct? Thanks for any info you can give us.

I will be Diamond after my last cruise. Status now shows Diamond .

Just curious. I always order a double scotch and dry. Now that I will be Diamond on my next cruise, will that count as one or two of my free drinks?

We will be in Lyttleton on our Ovation cruise. Hoping to meet up with our friend who will also be in Lyttleton on holiday. It would be good to know exactly where the shuttle bus will be dropping us off so we can arrange for her to meet us there. Thanks for any info.

Forgot to mention tat our friend is not a Diamond member

Have a friend coming on a NZ cruise with us soon on Ovation We won't have a drinks bill as we get 4 free daily drinks being Diamond members. Our friend is trying to work out whether or not to buy the drinks package. I know cocktails are around $15 each USD. Do you pay an additional 18% on every drink you order or is that only applied if sailing from America? Thanks to anyone who can clarify.

No, the current cruise is just the usual island cruise to Noumea etc,

Friends just received an email from Royal asking them to turn up an hour later than their current check-in time on Friday because there will be extended immigration process from the previous cruise, it's no big deal but she is just curious to know what extended immigration process actually means. She asked me but I also have no clue. Any ideas anyone?

Thank you so much for this info. I will visit my friend in Lyttleton in January and in March we can do the shuttle into Christchurch.

We are sailing to NZ on Ovation 29th January and again in March on Adventure. Both times docking at Lyttleton. I read that cruise ship passengers cannot get a shuttle bus into Lyttleton but instead have to go into Christchurch. I would love to spend one of the days in Lyttleton as a friend has bought a home there and I was hoping to spend the day at her home and sight see around the town.

We are Diamond members, fast approaching D+. I have seen people mentioning discounts and I assume they mean we may sometimes get some type of discount when booking, Is this correct and if so how do you find out about it? Any advice greatly appreciated.

I totally agree. Thank you and everyone else for taking the time to reply to my post. Only 29 days to go until we are once again on the beautiful Ovation of the Seas .

I agree with you. We were on Brilliance 2 weeks ago, it was our first cruise on Royal post covid. The food was just as good as we remembered it to be. In fact, the food was one of the highlights of the cruise. We are sailing on Ovation on 29th January and I am excited to reorder quite a few dishes in the MDR that I particularly enjoyed on Brilliance. Either the quality of the produce is better here in Australia or perhaps we Aussies are more easily pleased. Either way, we are lucky as we are coming off our cruises happy chappies.
