Ovation of the Seas Alaska Review w/ Chris & Carmen
2026/10/07
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 reviewSeeing bears & taking a floatplane in KetchikanAn incredible wildlife tour in SitkaDriving the Yukon Highway from SkagwayBack 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.

Episode 169
This week on Cruise Conversations, we're joined by Mackenzie to recap her recent 7-night Mediterranean cruise aboard MSC Meraviglia, including what it’s like experiencing one of MSC Cruises’ biggest perks: MSC Yacht Club.
After taking her first cruise while stationed in Europe, Mackenzie and her wife quickly caught the cruise bug and have now sailed six times since 2024. For this trip, they boarded MSC Meraviglia in Marseille, France, for a port-heavy Mediterranean itinerary featuring Spain and Italy, along with an unexpected itinerary change when weather prevented their planned visit to Tunisia.
We also get an inside look at the MSC Yacht Club experience, from priority embarkation and the Top Sail Lounge to exclusive dining, pool areas, thermal spa access, elevated service, and even the sometimes-helpful priority elevators. Mackenzie shares why this was actually the best Yacht Club service she’s experienced so far.
In this episode, we cover:

Whether you're considering MSC Meraviglia, wondering if MSC Yacht Club is worth it, or planning your own Mediterranean cruise, this episode offers a firsthand look at cruising MSC in Europe and plenty of ideas for making the most of your time both onboard and ashore.
