Vision is a smaller ship so boarding is less hectic. Galveston has a lot of great parking near the terminal too

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I like the airiness of this design. The ship is too small to have an promenade only an atrium but they make best use of the space. A lot of outside views and glass.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We like the minisuite at the rear of the ship. Large balcony for me. Tub for my spouse.

Ship tip

Play close attention to your daily planner. There is so much to do.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

4 out of 5

This port is a new-iah stop and the place has very little in the way of the crass touristic commercialism of other more established ports. That being said it was a great place to experience the real Mexico.

Thumbs Up 2

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

Been there enough times. Always good things to do and places to eat and shop

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

As with embarkation the smaller ship means shorter lines.
