Review summary

Cruise was boring and not worth the cost. There were many scooters and walkers and people rudely ran into everyone with them. The ship was old and even many of the crew said they did not like the ship and were trying to get re-assigned. The ports were terrible and the natives hounded us on the port gangway all the way into the towns and on the beaches. If it hadn't been for a friendly wait-staff and stateroom attendant it would have been unbearable. Cruise.com sucked in preparation and was not helpful. Will not use cruise.com again.

We took the whole family on Vision last March and had a great time. There are bigger and newer ships but this one fit our budget. My only complaint was 7 days wasn't long enough :).

WOW! Life is not perfect 100 percent of the time. I have been on several cruises and have never found nothing to like about a particular cruise. Every cruise has a few things that could be better but on looking at the big picture, you are not at work and getting exposure to new experiences. I have to agree with gaylene.smith and say that you would be a real treat to take a trip with judging from your post.

Complain, complain complain!!! You sound like the type of person that could suck the life right out of a person. Did you have to go to work? Did they make you wash dishes? Did they make you make your own bed or your own meals? If not then consider yourself very fortunate for just that!!! IMO
