Creator's Key Takeaways

We just spent 17 nights crossing the Pacific Ocean on Ovation of the Seas.

The cost for us, just so you know, up front, was about $4,800 for the 17 days.

Overall for us to the 4.35 the junior suite included the fact that it was roomier and we had a lot of space, tons of storage.

It's not for everybody, but we enjoyed it a lot.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty restaurant lunches in advance for 40% off during sea days.
Consider a transpacific or transatlantic cruise for great value.
If you have a lot of sea days, look for specials on specialty restaurants.
