Review summary

Love cruising on the Serenade but unfortunately she will be repositioned to Australia and replaced by the Vision of the Seas which is a smaller ship!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

The custom process for B2B was like it used to be years ago. Eg 45+ minutes to get off ship, wait, talk to custom agent and return to ship.
