We sailed to Honolulu on Ovation 2 years ago. Beautiful ship, great bars, excellent food and great cabins. Staff were really good too. The ship was sparkling and didn't feel crowded at all, albeit larger than we'd sailed on before (this was our 8th cruise across Celebrity, RCC and Carnival (in the US). I would sail on her again in a heartbeat. Having said that we are in our 60s and wanted to relax. We enjoyed the entertainment which was really standard cruise-type. Didn't make it to the MDR as food elsewhere was so good!
