| Ovation dazzles agents

AGENTS and media were treated to “A Big Day Out” on board Royal Caribbean International’s biggest ship sailing in the region, Ovation of the Seas, while the vessel was docked in Sydney on Fri.
The group tested out some of the megaliner’s features, with highlights included taking to the skies in The North Star, an observation capsule which hoisted the group close to 90 meters in the air, providing a 360° view of the harbour.
When safely back on deck, Royal treated visitors to a bite to eat at its Jamie’s Italian restaurant featuring some of the British celebrity chef’s famous antipasti planks & plates.
The good times were capped off in style by offering up a few cocktails whipped up by the ship’s resident robotic mixologists “Mix” and “Mingle”.
Speaking to CW on board, cruise director Mike Hunnerup said the secret to the ship’s success was the sheer volume of entertainment it offered for a competitive price point.
“In terms of bang for your buck, cruising on Ovation can’t be beaten,” Hunnerup said.
“We refer to ‘The Big Four’ which are The North Star, the Flowrider, the Bumper Cars and iFly – they’re four things you won’t find on any other ship in Australia and very few ships in the world,” he added.
