Review summary

Miserable. Nothing that we were expecting and Cheap Cruises is great at taking money and then leaving you. While mid-cruise were experiencing so many challenges we called Cheap Cruises, a representative told us that we would have to wait until the trip was over and call back; that an advocate from Cheap Cruises could help us work with the cruise line to recoup some type of compensation. When we got home and called Cheap Cruises, Linda who's worked for Cheap Cruises for 8 years informed us that they don't have our money and can't help at all. All.they do is book. (Zero Customer Support) This was a nightmare for our family. We felt unsafe, ignored, and stolen from. NEVER AGAIN WILL WE USE CHEAP CRUISES OR CRUISE ON ROYAL CARIBBEAN.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food in the main dining room was horrible. I felt like it was scooped from the buffet and rushed to our table.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Hot tub was falling apart, plaster chips found all throughout our bathing suits and pockets. Other couples reported getting shocked.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Very little. A live band is constantly playing somewhere. The ship shuts down around 10pm.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Our room steward, one gentleman at the pool bar and one server in Chops grill were fantastic. The rest of the ship and especially guest service we very little help, to none at all.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Disgusting. A pungent consistent smell of sewage throughout deck two (where we were stuck) a seepage/water issues just outside our cabins that stunk. Mold all over the bathroom. Black sticky sludge on our stateroom carpet. Public restrooms always smelled horrible and had clogged toilets.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Disgusting. Mold issues, air filters clogged with dust and dirt, carpet has sticky black substances all over it.

I have been booking through Cheap Cruises for many years and had nothing but excellent service. Furthermore I love the Vision but she is not for everyone. To each their own.

Were you "stuck" on deck 2 or did you book a cabin on deck 2?

Also sorry you had a bad experience. She's one of our favorite ships maybe you should try one of Royal's mega ships.

One of my favorites sailings.

This was one of the worse cruises I have taken on Royal Caribbean. The food was not very good.

Disappointing waste of money
