Love cruising. Ports were ok. The crew and people we met onboard were the best part of the cruise.

Real easy if you avoid peak periods.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Bar tenders were friendly and fast. Food in main dining was good enough didn't need to eat at specialty or buffets unless we over slept.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Weather was cool but enjoyed the "no kids" indoor solarium area. Egg drop completion was fun.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Comedian was OK, Ships musicians were great, Piano players were good. No solo guitar act on this week.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Vision staff has a real team spirit everyone is helpful with good attitude and smiles.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Vision looks good since it's recent refurbishment.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

The smallest cabin on cruise ship I have stayed in ever. I only chose it because it was the best there was for B2B on this date. It was clean and the steward took excellent care of us.

Ship tip

She is small if you want large wide open spaces it's not for you. Personal service is the best in the fleet.
