Should I cancel my booking for the Ovation of the Seas

I'm in this ship in Feb. while there was a ton of bad reviews at first, there's been a noticeable improvement in reviews. Maybe as a new ship, it had new staff and teething problems, and those are now being sorted. The Australian reviews are better than the American ones overall, and there was obviously lots of issues while it was on its maiden voyage and then coming on to Australia; these seem resolved now. Massively looking forward to being on it and experiencing the ship, but I admit I'm glad I waited a little bit! I get to enjoy a very new ship - but the teething problems will be resolved [emoji41][emoji23][emoji106]

I just got off the ship 2 days ago and was totally surprised by what I found on the ship.

There is none of the negative experience which I read in so many reviews.

I was going to write a review to counter all the negativity but I see that the recent reviews have generally been good.

Firstly I was worried about these big ships and knowing how RCI like to pack us all in the ship.

Sure there are lots of people around (4000) but there are still a lot of vacant spaces around.

The software or crew problem I could not find any. Always courteous, smiling and most helpful.

Only queuing I did was a 10 minute wait for the restaurant, once.

Boarding and disembarking was just a walk through.

Book myself for April 2018 on the ship as this ship would only do 1 cruise in SG next year.

Thanks for reporting back. I have booked on the Ovation as well and was slightly worried with all the bad reviews, I am glad most of the problems have been sorted out. Can't wait! :D
