🚢 We Sailed Ovation of the Seas — Here’s What Families Need to Know

Here at Bright Life Travel Co., we believe in firsthand experience—and that’s exactly why our owner Kristin recently boarded Ovation of the Seas, the largest ship to ever sail out of Los Angeles. (Yes, it’s as massive and exciting as it sounds.)

We’re always looking for trips that blend ease, fun, and family-friendly vibes—and this one checks all the boxes. Whether you’re new to cruising or a seasoned sea-goer, Ovation has a little something for everyone.

Here’s what stood out from our first hand experience—and why we’d 100% recommend it for your next adventure.


🌟 The Aquaplex = A Family Favorite

This huge multi-use space is basically a built-in boredom buster. Think bumper cars, family-friendly shows, arcade vibes, and interactive fun. It’s the kind of space where kids can roam and play while parents actually get to watch from a distance (with a coffee or cocktail in hand—no judgment either way).


🌿 The Solarium Is a Total Reset

Let’s be real: sometimes parents need a break, too. The Solarium is an adults-only space onboard, filled with panoramic ocean views, quiet pools, and total relaxation. It’s peaceful, it’s beautiful, and it’s the ideal “me time” moment while the rest of the family is off having their own fun.


🍽️ Dining That Delivers (Yes, Even for Picky Eaters)

Ovation offers a wide variety of dining options—from casual eats to more elevated experiences. One of our favorite parts? You don’t need to plan everything in advance. Whether you’ve got kids who change their mind every five minutes or teens who eat like grown adults, there’s something here to satisfy every traveler.


🛳️ Big Ship Energy, Thoughtful Family Design

This ship has all the energy and entertainment you’d expect from a mega cruise—but what really stood out is how well-designed it is for families. From spacious cabins to easy onboard navigation, everything felt streamlined, flexible, and low-stress.

And with itineraries that include destinations like Alaska and the Pacific Coast? It’s a fun (and surprisingly chill) way to explore bucket list-worthy places.

Just a little peek into the minds of our team! When we visit a new destination or resort, the things we’re noticing and thinking about are likely different from what a normal visitor would notice. 

Because of our experience and research, we love being able to match resorts and experiences to what our clients are looking for! 

We’d love to do that for you on your next trip too! Reach out when you’re ready to plan your next travels!
A resort can look perfect online and still be completely wrong for your trip.

Before we recommend anything, we want to know:
🏖️ What kind of beach do you picture?
🍽️ How important is the food?
🛏️ What room configuration will keep everyone comfortable?
👧 How old are the kids—and what will actually entertain them?
🎉 Do you want lively and social or quiet and relaxing?
✈️ How far are you willing to travel from the airport?
💰 Where do you want to splurge, and where can we save?
🤍 What do you want this vacation to feel like?

Those details matter.

The goal isn’t to send you a long list of beautiful resorts and ask you to figure it out. It’s to carefully narrow the options and recommend the places that genuinely fit your family, priorities, and travel style.

Because the best resort isn’t the one everyone is talking about.
It’s the one that feels like it was chosen specifically for you.

We really do believe that there’s a good fit for each family when it comes to cruising, but of course we all have some personal preferences. 

What do you think? Do you agree with us on some of these, or would you go a different way?
