Is anyone as pumped as I am for Ovation of the seas cruising Alaska 2019?!?!?

 

Not so much. I was born and raised in WI and left to get out of the cold

 

Alaska will never happen in my lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want sand and beaches, not snow and icebergs:hearteyes::hearteyes::hearteyes::hearteyes::hearteyes::hearteyes:

The 11 day cruise sounded interesting at first until I realized it's Monday-Friday (requires 2 full weeks off work, not so great unless you're retired) and 3 of the extra 4 days are sea days with only 1 extra port day. I'm very disappointed Ovation is not stopping in Ketchikan on any of the itineraries. I was considering switching from Norwegian Bliss to Ovation a year later, but the lack of Ketchikan is unfortunate as there are many interesting excursions there on NCL.

It isn't cold in the summer, we had 70s on our late August cruisetour. I'm just afraid the megaships will ruin it, too big a port load.

I went ahead and reserved cabin 8278 - it's 8D category for total 5200. That didn't see like too bad of a deal for 11 night cruise on a new ship to Alaska. I hope this is a good cabin. I really haven't researched this ship or itinerary too much but Alaska has always been on my bucket list. I did pay more to have refundable deposit. Thinking about transferring to a TA to get some OBC.

 

 

Strange... I’m also booked on the May 13, 2019 Ovation of the seas Alaskan cruise .... in cabin 8278! Did you switch rooms?

 

I thought this itinerary was awesome... stops at both glaciers... starts in Vancouver and ends in Seattle. Will be my first visit to both cities and to Alaska. And I love the fact that it will be 11 days on a larger ship.

I ended up canceling the cruise because I had booked it without really doing any research. I went too crazy on cruises and had too much money tied up in future cruises. But this did sound like an awesome cruise - 11 days on a new ship visiting Alaska. Hope to make it there someday. We must both have good taste in picking cabin :)
