Review summary

This was my first cruise. The ship was huge, the staff treated us like family. Captain Marek was visible and joined in the ship activities. The excursions were first rate. We were first in and first out of most of the churches and exhibits. Everything was well organized with very few waiting times. Luv Royal Carribbean !!

If you think vision is huge, you NEED to try the Oasis Class ships(Oasis, Allure, and Harmony, maybe Symphony). They have literally 2x the activities Vision has. Of course, that’s just an estimate. Glad you enjoyed your cruise!!
