Ovation of the Seas has several "bests" up its sleeve, some of which it shares with its older sisters. Up to 90 meters above sea level, it takes its guests in the North Star capsule, the highest observation deck at sea, offering 360-degree views of the surrounding ocean. Active guests will enjoy plenty of fun in the SeaPlex, the largest and most revolutionary indoor "playground" at sea, where they can find a trapeze, a full-size basketball court, or a space for roller skating and bumper cars.

The ship has room for 11,000 (!) works of art, including Sky Wave, the first moving sculpture at sea, or Flutter Wall, a three-meter screen full of interactive butterflies. Onboard, there are 15 restaurants and 9 bars serving international menus and selections from world cuisines. The restaurant of the renowned Jamie Oliver, Wonderland, preparing imaginative dishes inspired by the elements, and the Bionic Bar, where robotic bartenders mix the best cocktails for guests, cannot be missed. A complete novelty is the Kung Fu Panda Noodle Shop, inspired by Asian cuisine (and a famous animated film).

Guests of Ovation of the Seas will not be bored even outside of meal times. They can look forward to Ripcord, a skydiving simulator, or FlowRider, where they can try to catch the right wave directly on the ship's deck. Those who prefer relaxation over adrenaline will enjoy the Vitality Spa or one of the numerous pools.
