While on a recent Royal Caribbean cruise on board the Ovation of the Seas, we got the opportunity to try Izumi. Izumi is a specialty upgrade restaurant found onboard a number of Royal Caribbean ships. The restaurant has an a la carte menu. You can also visit the restaurant as part of a dining package, which is what we did. Since we used a dining package, we were granted $35 per person and anything additional would be charged to our stateroom.
Today was the day for us to board our first Royal Caribbean cruise! We got up to enjoy breakfast and then went back to the room to get our luggage ready. We had printed our luggage tags before leaving home and had purchased some luggage tags holders on Amazon. These luggage tag holders also came with a steel loop that you can use to secure them to your luggage.
While on a recent Royal Caribbean cruise onboard the Ovation of the Seas, we got the opportunity to try Wonderland. Wonderland is a specialty upgrade restaurant found onboard a number of Royal Caribbean ships. The upgrade is $45 per person. You can also visit the restaurant as part of a dining package, which is what we did.
For the summer of 2019, we had originally decided on a 10-night Mediterranean cruise on the Disney Magic. As we got into the Summer of 2018, we came to the conclusion that we couldn’t make the cruise work with our schedule and our budget. We already had a few cruises in the books that we had to pay for as well as a lot going on that would make it hard to plan a Europe trip. Canceling that cruise was a huge burden lifted off our shoulders.

Chops Grille is a specialty upgrade restaurant found onboard a number of Royal Caribbean ships. The upgrade is $35 per person.

We recently went on Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas for a 7 night Alaska Glacier Cruise (departure date August 16, 2019). During that cruise, my daughters got the chance to try RipCord by iFly. RipCord was located on the aft portion of Deck 16.
I had the great privilege and honor to be invited on The DCL Dude podcast to discuss our recent Royal Caribbean cruise to Alaska onboard the Ovation of the Seas. Wes and I discussed our itinerary, some of the amenities on the ship, dining, and then did a comparison versus our August 2013 sailing on the Disney Wonder.
