Creator's Key Takeaways

ovation of the seas is royal caribbean's third quantum class ship and she is packed with lots to see and do on board it's a fantastic vessel

the north star is the observational capsule that you can go into that will take you up above the ship actually 300 feet above sea level it's incredible

the solarium is available for guests who are 16 and above and it offers well a dedicated area for adults to enjoy so it's basically your own little area of the pool deck

the windjammer is complimentary no additional cost to eat here and as you might imagine there's a lot of selections a lot of people go here for all meals

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Make reservations for the North Star before the cruise as it sells out quickly.
βœ“Check out the outdoor seating in the Windjammer for great views of the back of the ship.
βœ“Book specialty restaurant reservations in advance and consider a dining package to save money.

Worry about heights on the North Star β€” It's a very tame experience, not too bad.
