Radiance or Ovation to Vancouver

[Tee & Chilli]

Radiance or Ovation for Hawaii to Vancouver. Both have 5 consecutive sea days. Radiance has 2 days in Honululu.

 

Thanks

I guess it depends on what you want. I am assuming you mean for May 2019. If you have not been to Hawaii before you would probably want to take Radiance as it makes more port stops. Ovation does a couple of sail bys instead of stopping in Kauai and Hilo.

 

If you have already gone to Hawaii before then it depends on what class ship you like. We have done Radiance Hawaii cruises a few times so we are going to try Ovation in Sept 2019 for the Vancouver to Hawaii route as we spent 17 days on Ovation back in April and enjoyed the ship.

There will be more things to do on Ovation on the five sea days. IFly, flowrider, Seaplex, Escape Room, Broadway style show, Music Hall, Comedy Club, and not to mention more choices to eat.

 

Or, if you don’t want to do anything, just go on the Radiance.

I guess it all depends on you. Are you traveling with children who need to be constantly on the go and need to be entertained all the time. Or are you there for relaxing while enjoying the islands? I LOVE the Radiance. It doesn't have the Royal Promenade, but she is a ship that is built to bring the sea into the ship (tons of glass, etc.) Lots of places to chill, but still keep busy with activities if you want to. Ovation is a ship that keeps the ocean out of the ship - so much going on inside and out on deck that takes away from the ocean and has so much to keep you busy. The Radiance has more stops in Hawaii, which I love (especially Kauai) while the Ovation does "cruise bys".

Thanks everyone. Yes I was looking at May 2019 and this will be my first trip to Hawaii.

Bill, thank you for the excellent reviews.

The prices on Ovation are likely to drop some more.;)

[Tee & Chilli]

Biker has also been watching those prices slide :)

At this point I'm pretty sure I'll book and starting to look at flight prices, which I might have to book before the cruise itself.

You are right about the Ovation prices dropping. We are on the Sept 2019 Hawaii cruise and our obstructed balcony cabin dropped again today by almost $200. We are now down to $2186. May 7th we were at $4063 for the same cabin. :D So far 7 price drops

Come with us on Ovation , it will be like old times. I might even try iFly this trip! :D

Our price has dropped to less than half for May 2 - 13th.

[Tee & Chilli]

Wow this is tempting.

[Biker19]

Outbound flight booked - now to wait for the cruise price to drop some more before booking.

[Tee & Chilli]

Is the flight refundable? Can you share your strategy?

[Biker19]

Booked using miles.

Why wait when you can reprice?

No price drops inside final payment, where the typical final big drops happen, though at current pace may not happen with this sailing.

Very tempted to do the April/May Hawaii cruises or September for 2019. However, we have never been to Hawaii so wondering whether we should just fly to Maui and have a land based trip? The prices on these cruises though are very good.
