Review summary

The Vision is a smaller ship for Royal but that detracts nothing from the cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great, arrived with our friends, friendly helpful check in, straight onboard at 11:30am. Only delay were the obligatory photos

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Only made it to the MDR for breakfast a couple of times. Windjammer was terrific, Park Cafe pleasant. Only downside was the grumpy drinks barman in the Windjammer who seemed to resent Diamond Drinks.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We had sailed from Singapore on Mariner and were basically activitied out. There seemed to be a lot of the usual trivia etc happening. Lots of port days and therefore not on ship that much to have to worry about onboard.

Watch out for the filthy dirty smelly donkeys. The cable car is hopeless dealing when 4 ships in port.

The Port authority were pathetic in their provsion of tenders as we were moored in the commercial area. The Port Authority has a lot to answer for. Several hundred passengers queued for an hour in the sun. Pathetic memories.
