Ovation of the Seas to Set Sail from LA at the End of May

Originally scheduled to serve China this summer, Ovation of the Seas will instead operate out of Los Angeles beginning May 28th. The Quantum-class Royal Caribbean cruise ship will take passengers from Los Angeles to Mexico, with stops in Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada and Catalina. Itineraries include 3-8 night options available through late September. Following its summer in Los Angeles, Ovation of the Seas will return to Asia for the winter, offering itineraries from Singapore.
