🌊 A Mini Guide to Ovation of the Seas — Sailing from Singapore ✨

If you’re planning your first cruise adventure from Singapore aboard Ovation of the Seas, here’s a little guide from someone who’s been there — not an expert, just sharing some honest tips 👇

🚢 Route & Departure

Most short cruises are 4-night round trips from Singapore, stopping at Penang (Malaysia) and Phuket (Thailand). The ship departs from Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS) — super easy to reach by taxi or MRT + short walk.

🧳 Boarding Tips

Arrive at least 2–3 hours early to get through security and check-in smoothly. Download the Royal Caribbean app once you board — it’s super useful for daily schedules and restaurant bookings. Pack light clothes for the day and a thin jacket for breezy nights on deck.

⚓ Must-Try Activities

Everything from rock climbing to swimming pools is free! But don’t miss the iconic North Star observation capsule, the iFLY skydiving simulator, and FlowRider surfing (book early — they fill up fast!).
At night, check out the theatre shows, live music, or even the casino if that’s your vibe 🎭

🏝️ Port Days
Penang: Street food heaven! Try local hawker dishes and stroll through George Town’s street art alleys.
Phuket: Great for short beach trips or snorkeling. Just remember to be back on board at least an hour before departure!

💡 Extra Tips
Specialty dining, Wi-Fi, and some activities cost extra — so plan your budget.
The Windjammer buffet is crowd-favorite; main dining room can be hit-or-miss.
Bring power adapters and keep an eye on your onboard balance — easy to overspend when you’re having fun 😅

Overall, Ovation of the Seas is perfect for a stress-free getaway — sunshine, sea breeze, and zero chores. Just relax and enjoy every moment
