7-Night Ovation of the Seas Alaskan Cruise Summary

We review our 7-day Alaskan cruise on the Ovation of the Seas. See the daily schedules, menus, and follow a play-by-play of each day.

We review the the top hits and misses of the Ovation of Seas. Overall, it’s a solid ship that’s perfect for Alaskan cruises.

We debarked the ship and explored Seattle attractions like the Space Needle, MoPOP, the Aquarium, the Underground Tour, and Chihuly Glass.

Our last day got off to a rough start with a messy debarkation in Victoria, BC. Then, we went whale watching and visited two local breweries.

On our last sea day, we checked out the shops on board, went on North Star, ate at several restaurants, and the attended Live Love Legs show.

In Sitka, we went to Fortress of the Bear, Alaska Raptor Center, Sitka National Park. Back on board, we tried rock climbing and Chops Grille.

Today, we visited beautiful Skagway where we ziplined over Grizzly Falls and visited Red Onion Saloon. On the ship, we tried Pixels Cabaret.

On day 3 of our Alaskan cruise, we took in spectacular views of the Inside Passage before we go to Juneau where we saw whales and a glacier.

Day 2 of our Alaskan cruise is jam-packed. A quiet breakfast, bumper cars, two lunches, iFLY skydiving, formal night and a silent disco.
