Review summary

My family and I were very disappointed with this ship. The food was cold not very kid friendly, got a lot of dirty looks because we had little kids. The entertainment was very short and limited. The pool lifeguards were obnoxious. Just wants a good experience on the vision of the seas.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Size was ok cleanliness was ok except for the toothpaste stains behind the sink other than that it was ok.

Ship tip

The ship is definitely not kid friendly. Not much for young children to do. If you do have little kids you will get dirty looks from the older people onboard.

Glad you had a good cruise. Thanks for the review. You are correct, the ship is one of the oldest in the fleet and is geared toward an older crowd. Next cruise you should consider one of the oasis class ships. They have MUCH more for kids to do.

Thank you for your review. We will be taking our almost 2 year old next year. If anyone wants to give dirty looks I will say something! Our daughter has as much right to be on the ship and we have paid a lot for her too!

It was ok. Had better trips

Disappointed probably the worst of any Royal Caribbean cruise we've ever been on.
