Review summary

This cruise is best suited for young families. There were lots of kids & parents pushing strollers. Food is ok but nothing special & the activities & entertainment on board needed improvement.

Service and Staff

Waiters in the dining room were great but room steward needs to learn how to clean.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Common areas of the ship looked worn & could use an update.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

The website described it as "large ocean view cabin" but it was like a closet with a window. The bed was like sleeping on cinder blocks.

Ship tip

Consider something else unless you like kids running down the halls & babies crying.

We had a city tour. Our tour guide seemed bored but was sure to tell us about a jewelry special that was at a shop he owned on the tour.

Hello, very informative, thanks. Is there any app to check activities and text friends on board? From what I have read royalIQ isn't available on vision of the seas but not 100% sure. Thanks!
