![]() My first glimpse of Alaska was Ketchikan and it ended up being my favorite port! The town itself is SO cute and most attractions are conveniently located next to the pier. Looking back on this past week, I put together a few final thoughts about this sailing. I’m so grateful my dad and I were able to experience Alaska’s beauty and make such wonderful memories together! While it did rain quite a lot throughout the sailing, it did not take away from my experience in Alaska at all. It is certainly a completely different experience than a Caribbean sailing and one that should be on everyone’s bucket list. Being on a cruise ship meant we were able to sail through scenery completely inaccessible by road and witness the rugged landscape of Alaska through the state’s intricate fjords and passages. There was also a variety of expertly decorated cakes available tonight to wish guests farewell.Īs I packed my suitcase, I could not help but reflect on all the lifelong memories that were made this week. Tonight was kabob night and there was a large selection of freshly grilled skewers to choose from. ![]() The afternoon included attending a virtual concert at Two70, relaxing on the pool deck, and packing our bags for tomorrow's departure.ĭinner tonight was at the Windjammer, which may have been the best meal there yet. It was really, really good!Īfter a long week of exploring and checking out all the fun activities onboard Ovation of the Seas, we were feeling pretty exhausted and decided to take it easy the rest of the day. For dessert we ordered the Floating Island, which is meringue on a bed of vanilla custard. Our lunch included a caprese salad, mozzarella sticks, a hamburger, and lentil chili. I had never eaten lunch in the Main Dining Room before, but enjoyed the slower pace of a sit-down meal compared to a quick lunch in the Windjammer. Since our dinner table is in the Silk venue, it was nice to try out another dining room onboard. American Icon features classic americana decor and offers the standard Main Dining Room menu. Today's lunch was in American Icon, one of the dining rooms onboard. However, the rock climbing wall and North Star remained closed due to the windy weather. The FlowRider was up and running for one of the first times on this sailing. I took advantage of the somewhat calmer weather and walked around the running track deck. The outdoor decks were closed for most of the day yesterday due to high seas, so I was happy to see that the decks were open again. I prefer going to the pool decks really early in the morning before it gets too crowded so I can fully relax. After breakfast came an early morning hot tub session at the indoor pool. I took my latte to the Windjammer to enjoy chocolate chip pancakes. ![]() I purchased the Cafe Select Coffee Card for this sailing, which is a punch card that can be used for up to 15 espresso-based beverages. My morning ritual at sea is grabbing a latte from one of Ovation's many coffee bars, such as Cafe at Two70, La Patisserie, or the Windjammer. This sailing has been magnificent all around, and while I'm sad to see it coming to an end, I was happy to have one more day onboard. Today is a sea day and the last day onboard Ovation of the Seas.
