Review summary

I have been on Vision for the fifth time. Others have asked why? I always said that it is the charm of the Ship and it’s crew. They haven’t disappointed me so far. I know the food selection or merchandise for sale on the ship may be limited but the crew made up for it. Erickson Maitim and Iryna bent over backwards to give what we needed. Warren Miranda always ensured that a table is always available when we walked in. Annline graciously probe how the service for the evening went. Christopher Dacara had painstakingly arranged to prepare us Filipino food. I couldn’t ask for anything more. McBell ensured that our stateroom was promptly cleaned. And it was spotless every time, twice during the day. Father Frank made our voyage a spiritual one. Kelsie was great ensuring what Father Frank needed for the mass. Being on board a few times, one can expect that the entertainment would be recycled or repurposed. Seeing the Master of the Ship belt out a few songs was spectacular. Entertainment is not a key quality indicator for me. It’s the crew that totally makes the experience wholesome and unforgettable. Without them, I don’t think I will be a repeat cruiser. Thank you and best of luck to the awesome and phenomenal crew of the Vision of the Seas.

I agree! It was awesome. Watching Captain Marek sing was great! And, his April Fool's joke was pretty funny, too. :)
