Review summary

An older ship with not a whole lot of amenities or activities to a port that does not have a lot to do.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy embarkation. Friendly staff. Lines were not dense. Barely any wait.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food in the main dining room for dinner was good. A variety of choices. Always quality. What we especially appreciated was that they did not draw out the meal and take two hours. It was fairly quick but not too rushed. The lunch in the main dining room was poor with odd choices of entrees. Lunch in the windjammer buffet was just adequate. Breakfast in the buffet was gross with mushy scrambled eggs, bacon swimming in grease. Room service breakfast was much better.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

There is barely anything to do on this boat. Unlike the newer Royal ships, this one is on its way to the geriatrics ward. Although it was clean, it did not have almost any of the amenities or activities that newer ships have. A very disappointing aspect.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

There were not that many shows, and the ones they had were not that great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The ship was very clean but super small compared to newer ships and lacking the amenities.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Good cabin size. Always clean.

Ship tip

Older ship, not a lot to do but may be worth if if the price is cheap enough

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

There was not much to do at all in Bermuda compared to, say, the Bahamas. We walked around for about an hour and got back on the ship.

Agree with need2cruisesoon also you booked this ship. A little research would tell you not a lot of amenities on ship and what you could do in Bermuda. Sailed on Vision in May and made friends and enjoyed the shows.

If you couldn’t find anything to do in Bermuda that is entirely your fault. Bermuda is a million times nicer than the Bahamas. Tons to do, safe, and easy to travel with public transportation.
