Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Jorge our concierge was absolutely amazing. He was always there to help. Our stateroom attendant (can not spell his name) was just the absolute best. He ALWAYS made sure we had everything we needed and the room was always so clean.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The layout is great on this ship. Yes everyone says she is dated but she is 21 years old but we always saw people cleaning all the time. We loved Vision.

We did a beach resort at Vista Mar. It was AMAZING. This place is a little hidden gem. The staff was very attentive and wonderful people. Got an amazing massage on the beach and the food was truly authentic. People that say stay on the ship here is wrong!! Loved it.

Everything was great thru-out the cruise, only the departing was a bit confusing. Changed our waiting location at the last minute and then did not have enough staff to control/contain the guest. Guest getting a-bit impatience with other guest cutting in

Amazing experience!
