Ovation Of The Seas deck plans

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

Note: CruiseMapper's Ovation OTS deck plans are valid for 2023-2024 (through October 4th).

The Ovation cruise ship shows a total of 2091 staterooms for 4168 passengers (max capacity is 4825) served by 1300 crew-staff. The boat has 16 decks (15 passenger-accessible, 9 with cabins), 18 dining options (restaurants and bars), 4 swimming pools (1 retractable roof-covered), 10 outdoor Jacuzzis (whirlpool hot tubs), 16 elevators. The ship also has a multi-million dollar art collection of over 11000 pieces (estimated value USD 4,5 million). The contemporary artworks were curated by “Peter Millard & Partners” (London, England).

In comparison to the fleetmates, Quantum ships don't have the following signature RCI facilities: Ice Rink, Bowling, Zip-Line, Water Slides, Rope Course, Golf Simulator, Boxing Ring, Smoking Lounge, Royal Viking Crown (Observation Lounge). The traditional Royal Promenade is replaced by a 2-decks high walkway (location decks 4-5, connected with staircases). The new walkway passes through the center (roughly half of the vessel’s length). New dining venues replace RCI’s traditional Main Dining Room concept and serve the new “Dynamic Dining” concept.

Several dining venues replace the traditional Main Dining Rooms with the Royal Caribbean’s new “Rotational Dining” system. This was implemented to replace the previous “Dynamic Dining” concept. The new Rotational Dining system allows guests to dine at different restaurants (complimentary venues only) each night on the ship (based on a rotational dining schedule). Just like on Disney ships, Anthem cruise ship passengers are served by the same wait staff and enjoy the same table companions each evening.

In March 2018, due to contract conclusion (between RCI and celebrity chef Michael Schwartz), the Ovation ship's "Michael’s Genuine Pub" (midship on Lobby Deck 4) was renamed to "Amber and Oak Pub".

All Quantum-class "WOW ships" feature numerous unique facilities and onboard activities (never available at sea before), including:

• “RipCord” (deck 16) – sky-diving simulator
• “North Star” (deck 15) – an above ship observation capsule
• “SeaPlex” (decks 15 and 16) – bumper cars area part of the largest at sea sports complex
• “Two70°” (decks 5-6-7) – LED Roboscreens (dynamic) and floor-ceiling glass walls for live 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 (with single occupancy rates for solo travelers)
• multi-million dollar onboard art collection
• RFID cabin door locks and RFID wristbands (an optional choice to replace the traditional SeaPass cards) allowing passengers to purchase items on the ship and access into their cabins. The new wristbands are placed in envelopes in the passenger rooms.

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 agreement, according to which the ship will offer onboard expert lecturers by employees of the museum. Lectures are themed on China’s history and culture. The Palace Museum also provides signature pieces from its priceless collections to be displayed on the ship. By the new agreement, artworks created by Palace Museum artists are available for purchasing at onboard art auctions.
