Review summary

The ports were amazing. I really enjoyed the ports. I was disappointed with the ship- so dated and lack of variety in music. Other than that — I had a wonderful time.

Good variety of activities.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Stage Shows were good and the performer from UK American Idol was fabulous. My issue was the main floor entertainment- one pony show— they only played Latin Music the entire cruise and the same with the DJ in Viking Lounge- you couldn’t escape all day all night Latin music. People were from all over the globe. There was NO variety of music. Won’t sail Vision again.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My dining room wait staff was amazing—Eduardo and Chatsawarth. Housekeeping was pleasant and Excursion desk was really nice. Samantha Telesford was amazing. She followed up on every request. I was not happy with Luis the Casino host— very abrupt and unwilling to accommodate.

Disembarkation

We had an excursion— the guide moved about too quickly while we were leaving the ship. Next time I will not do an excursion at the end— just a late checkout.
