Ovation of the Seas

In 1992, Royal Caribbean launched the Save the Waves program, which started with a focus on waste management and evolved into a company-wide philosophy of social responsibility, environmental protection and eco-friendly sustainable practices that guide the business.

TV, telephone, private bathroom with shower, dressing table and hair dryer are standard in all cabins. The cabins have two single beds, which can be pushed together to make a double bed.
