Episode 172
This week on Cruise Conversations, Chris and Carmen join us to share their recent 7-night Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas!
Sailing one-way from Vancouver to Seward, Chris and Carmen experienced Alaska for the first time with stops in Ketchikan, Sitka, and Skagway, along with an incredible morning cruising Hubbard Glacier. Along the way, they packed the trip with wildlife, scenic drives, glaciers, and some pretty unforgettable excursions.
In this episode, we cover:
- A full Ovation of the Seas Alaska review
- Seeing bears & taking a floatplane in Ketchikan
- An incredible wildlife tour in Sitka
- Driving the Yukon Highway from Skagway
Back onboard, Chris and Carmen share what they thought of Ovation of the Seas and Royal Caribbean’s Quantum Class for Alaska. We talk about their virtual balcony interior cabin, North Star, and iFly, the SeaPlex, Two70, dining around the ship, entertainment, crowds, and why they came away thinking Quantum Class might be one of the best fits for an Alaska cruise.
And their Alaska adventure didn’t end when they stepped off Ovation. After arriving in Seward, they extended their trip with a Kenai Fjords boat tour, dog sledding experience, Exit Glacier, and the scenic train ride to Anchorage, something they highly recommend if you have the time to add a few days to a one-way Alaska cruise.
Whether you’re planning your first Alaska cruise, considering Ovation of the Seas, or trying to decide how much to budget for Alaska excursions, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences, tips, and ideas for making the most of an Alaska cruise.
