Ovation Of The Seas deck plans

Ovation of the Seas (2016-built, last refurbished in 2021, Royal Amplified in 2019, with a scheduled refurbishment in 2026) is the third of the Quantum-class Royal Caribbean ships, together with Quantum OTS (2014) and Anthem OTS (2015).

Note: CruiseMapper’s Ovation OTS deck plans are valid for 2025-2026-2027.

Ovation OTS cruise ship deck plans show a total of 2,091 staterooms for 4,168 passengers (maximum capacity 4,825), served by 1,300 crew members. The ship has 16 decks (15 passenger-accessible, 9 with cabins), 18 dining venues (restaurants and bars), four swimming pools (one with a retractable roof), 10 outdoor Jacuzzis (whirlpool hot tubs), and 16 elevators. She also features a multi-million-dollar art collection of more than 11,000 pieces, estimated at USD 4.5 million. The contemporary artworks were curated by “Peter Millard & Partners” (London, England).

Compared to fleetmates, Quantum-class ships do not feature the following signature RCI facilities: ice rink, bowling alley, zip line, water slides, rope course, golf simulator, boxing ring, smoking lounge, or the Royal Viking Crown (Observation Lounge). The traditional Royal Promenade is replaced by a two-deck-high walkway (on decks 4 and 5, connected by staircases), which runs through the ship’s center for roughly half of her length. New dining venues replace RCI’s traditional Main Dining Room concept and support the original “Dynamic Dining” concept.

Several dining venues replace the traditional Main Dining Rooms with Royal Caribbean’s newer “Rotational Dining” system, which was introduced to replace the earlier “Dynamic Dining” concept. Rotational Dining allows guests to dine at different complimentary restaurants each evening, following a set rotation schedule. Similar to Disney Cruise Line ships, passengers are served by the same wait staff and dine with the same table companions throughout the cruise.

In March 2018, following the conclusion of a contract between RCI and celebrity chef Michael Schwartz, Ovation’s “Michael’s Genuine Pub” (midship on Lobby Deck 4) was renamed “Amber and Oak Pub”.

All Quantum-class “WOW ships” feature numerous unique facilities and onboard activities, many introduced at sea for the first time, including:

• “RipCord” (Deck 16) – skydiving simulator
• “North Star” (Deck 15) – an above-ship observation capsule
• “SeaPlex” (Decks 15 and 16) – bumper cars area within the largest sports complex at sea
• “Two70°” (Decks 5, 6, and 7) – dynamic LED Roboscreens and floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering panoramic views
• “Bionic Bar” (served by robotic bartenders)
• the new Interior cabin type called “Virtual Balcony” (Decks 7 through 11)
• new Studio cabins with balconies, offering single-occupancy rates for solo travelers
• a multi-million-dollar onboard art collection
• RFID cabin door locks and RFID wristbands (optional replacements for traditional SeaPass cards), allowing passengers to make onboard purchases and access their cabins; wristbands are placed in envelopes in the staterooms

Ovation of the Seas’ itinerary program offers exclusively Asia cruises from China. In January 2016, RCI and the Chinese Imperial Palace Museum signed a Memorandum of Understanding, under which the ship offers onboard expert lectures delivered by museum staff. These lectures focus on China’s history and culture. The Palace Museum also provides signature artifacts from its priceless collections for display onboard. Under the agreement, artworks created by Palace Museum artists are also available for purchase at onboard art auctions.
