Ovation Of The Seas Review

Review of Ovation Of The Seas

The 2016-built Ovation of the Seas cruise ship is the 3rd Quantum-class Royal Caribbean liner, with sisterships Quantum OTS (2014) and Anthem OTS (2015). Similarly designed are the "Quantum Ultra-Class" Spectrum OTS (2019) and Odyssey OTS (2020).

The vessel (IMO number 9697753) is currently Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 311000397) and registered in Nassau.

History - construction and ownership

Royal Caribbean International (RCI) is a US passenger shipping company, trademarked travel brand and subsidiary owned by Royal Caribbean Group (RCG/shipowner). RCI was established in 1968 and currently has over 1/5 of the worldwide cruise market. RCI also has RCG's largest fleet by both vessel number and GT tonnage (ship sizes and capacities).

All RCI liners have names ending with "of the Seas".

Ovation Of The Seas Wiki

Ovation is Royal Caribbean's third Quantum-class liner, with younger "WOW" sisterships Quantum (2014) and Anthem (2015). There was a possibility RCCL to order a fourth Quantum-class vessel as this option was included in the shipbuilding contract. In the beginning, the Quantum-class had a code name "Project Sunshine".

Ovation OTS entered technical drydock at Singapore's Tuas Shipyard for a routine (5-year) refurbishment in March 2021.

Passenger cabins on all vessels in the Quantum series are ~9% larger than those of the world's largest cruise ships - HarmonyOasis and Allure, also part of Royal Caribbean's fleet. RCI Ovation features the new "virtual balcony" rooms - a live camera feed showing the passing scenery on an 80-inch / 203 cm floor-to-ceiling HD LED screen. The DreamWork experience and the 3D movie screen are among the other WOWs on board. The ship is designed to be family-friendly, with the latest high-tech equipment currently available on the market.

On February 11, 2011, under “Project Sunshine”, the shipowner Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCCL) announced the order of a new vessel. It represented a new passenger ship class of all three vessels, the first of which (Quantum) was delivered in 2014. On February 29, 2012, RCCL ordered the second “Sunshine” ship - Anthem (launched in 2015).

On January 31, 2013, the new ship class was officially named “Quantum Class”. On this day were also officially announced (for the first time) the names of the first two vessels – Quantum and Anthem. The third vessel (Ovation) was launched in 2016 (float-out from dry dock on February 18). Ship’s Inaugural Cruise (maiden voyage) was on April 14, and the christening ceremony – on June 24 (godmother Fan Bingbing).

Ovation Of The Seas cruise ship construction

On March 11, 2016, the vessel was officially delivered to RCI by Meyer Werft in Bremerhaven Germany. The delivery ceremony was attended by Richard Fain (RCCL's CEO and Chairman) and Bernard Meyer (Meyer Werft's owner). The vessel left the shipyard and was tugged down Ems River on a 26 mi / 42 km long conveyance itinerary from  Meyer Werft Papenburg to Eemshaven Holland (North Seas / Baltic Sea) arriving on March 12 at ~6 pm. Followed the sea trials.

On April 11, 2016, the cruise ship arrived in Southampton England and was docked at Berth 101 (Western Docks). The liner stayed in port for a few days. followed the Suez Canal relocation cruise from the UK to China (Southampton to Tianjin). This 53-day ("world cruise") itinerary was officially named "Global Odyssey". China departures (from homeport Tianjin) started in June 2016.

Among the fun facts is the Royal Caribbean's "Chinese affair" - Ovation is the world's first cruise liner built for China, starting operations in China and christened by a Chinese godmother - Fan Bingbing. The name of the vessel's godmother was announced on April 12. Mrs Fan Bingbing (born 1981) is a famous Chinese actress, TV producer, and pop singer. She is ranked in the top 10 of the "Forbes China Celebrity 100" list every year since 2006. She is number one in that list for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015. Mrs Bingbing is also the first ever Chinese celebrity selected to be the person naming an international cruise line ship.

On June 24, 2016, was vessel's christening ceremony held in Tianjin (seaport for Beijing). Ship's godmother was the Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. Godmother's name was officially announced on April 13, 2016. The naming ceremony was attended by Zinan Liu - President of RCI's "China and North Asia Pacific" branch. In 2016, Ovation OTS joined in China the RCI ships Quantum, Legend, Mariner, and Voyager. This made Royal Caribbean the company with the ever-largest fleet operating on the Chinese market.

During Ovation's 2016 Asia season (homeported in Tianjin and Hong Kong), RCI (for the first-time-ever) partnered with local culinary experts to provide onboard over 20 signature Chinese dishes. Among those were fried scallops, pan-fried fresh shrimp, fish fillets with corn, steamed chicken. Ship's menus were also redesigned (picture-oriented) for more appealing reading.

The list of ship's revolutionary new (WOW) features includes:

  • Two70° - this lounge has a 270° panoramic view, includes cafe and ice bar. At night it transforms into a venue for nouveau-cirque-style productions and disco club.
  • Bionic Bar (capacity 2 drinks per minute) uses 2 robotic arms to prepare mixed beverages (muddled, stirred, shaken and strained). Those can be ordered via an app (tablets or smartphones). Orders are displayed on large LED screens around the bar. The robotic bartenders use 30 different spirits and 21 mixers (8 sodas, 6 juices, 3 syrups, sugar, mint, limes, lemons).
  • SeaPlex complex has a roller-skating sports arena, full-size basketball court, bumper cars, "food truck" (casual dining).
  • "RipCord by iFLY" is the RCI's skydiving simulator.
  • "NorthStar" is the absolutely complimentary sensational observation tower on the top deck. Its glass-walled capsule is mounted on a long rotating arm to lift small groups of passengers over the Ovation ship's edge (up to 300ft/91m above sea level).
  • "RFID wristbands” are created to replace (optional) the old SeaPass cards that allow stateroom access and onboard purchases.

On April 13, 2016, Royal Caribbean announced that Fan Bingbing, internationally-acclaimed Chinese actress, would act as the Godmother for the world’s newest and most technologically advanced cruise ship Ovation of the Seas. The announcement was made by President, Royal Caribbean International – China and North Asia Pacific, Dr Zinan Liu, at a press conference in Beijing at the Great Hall of People. Bingbing is the first Chinese personality chosen to be the Godmother of the international cruise line. She officially named Ovation of the Seas at an inaugural ceremony on June 24, 2016, in Tianjin, China.
