Vision of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had an amazing 13 night cruise visiting seven ports. I would definitely do it again. Visions capabilities are limited just because she's an older smaller ship. But don't let that discourage you from experiencing her. I've always lived by one motto when vacationing especially cruising. It's what you make it.

All of the staff were trained to put the passengers first at all times. The dining staff worked quite hard at their respective jobs as did the stateroom staff and the entertainment staff. Their training paid off since we will be taking another cruise in 2020.

Very relaxing, always found seating on deck, food was subpar, ship was clean and service great

Excellent⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️Wonderful way to see the Panama Canal

We had a great time for our first cruise. A good enough time that we will consider it again. I believe that Royal Caribbean International is a first class Cruise Line.

We did a 5 day on the Vision June 2014 from Ft Lauderdale. I was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely solarium and several alternative dining options on this smaller ship.  The staff overall, proved to be quite attentive and accommodating ( try to get Warren in the My Time Dining room as your server, he's amazing). 

Formal dinner I loved that night. 

It was very nice to dress and go to dinner. The staff was great. The dinners was excellent. The menu had a great selection. The dining was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. Everyone greeted you with a smile and a attitude to keep you pleased. 

Great ship, great staff, great itinerary but the menu was disappointing.

Beautiful countries, but there is a great deal of poverty. I enjoyed the weather and the beaches, but I was sadden to see many shacks and garbage in the cities.

Vision is like all in this class an amazing ship. But I dislike the Oasis class so I’m biased. Royal does need to get a clue on food and dining. The food was MUCH better than our Voyager cruise last year but Royal still needs to work on the specialty restaurants. All three on this ship were sub par with some items. Royal also needs to up its variety and availability of included food. Park Cafe and Cafe Lattetudes are really something of a joke at this point. All I could think of was how nice it was going to be getting better food more or less when I want on my upcoming Carnival cruise. But in the end still a great cruise I would take again. I’m excited to be on her sister Lady G to Greenland next year!

This was the worst cruise I have ever been on. Gross, small, old ship. Disgusting food. We hated this experience

Had a great time on Vision of the seas. Great weather. Amazing friendly staff.

First cruise traveling alone and was nervous! Met so many new people and had an absolute blast!

Royal Caribbean has the best Loyalty program of all cruise lines.

This was my first Mediterranean cruise and I enjoyed it. Things seem to run a little differently in Europe than in the states. I will say that I wasn’t impressed with the cruise director Mercedes. The ship could use a facelift cause you can see the age (wear and tear). Service was great although our dinning room staff couldn’t really get the orders correctly.

This was an amazing experience. We have five children and have so much time (21 years) trying our hardest to be good parents. This was a reminder of how important it is to work on being best friends to each other. We had a blast together and plan on doing this again soon.

We took a family cruise during Spring Break for my mom, myself and two daughters (16 and 21). I choose VOS because a well known travel site I use showed a travel deal for VOS. After some research, I booked it. We got to Galveston to explore the city before the cruise. The embarkation went pretty smoothly as we arrived a bit early. However, I noticed several people bringing packages of bottled water and canned sodas onboard. When I asked our check in agent about this since the rules states only 2 bottles of wine are allowed, she said yes we could bring what ever we wanted. So much for following their own rules. Day two was really rocky and many in my family experienced sea sickness due to traveling through a storm that night (we later found out) even despite the bands they wore; many others aboard experienced the same. Apparently this ship is smaller and more dated than some others they have. We had some fun but by day three it became a bit redundant with the same music, trivia games (where winners received RC plastic pens), drunken people stammering every where, and leaving trash for others to pick up behind them. The hot tubs stayed over capacity where guests overstayed a reasonable amount of time and left their drink glasses and other trash. The cruise was not very family or teen oriented; there was little for families with teens to do, young females walked around in scantily clad clothing being loud and using profanity (polite way to say it), the arcade needs a major upgrade and the bars over served guests. Food at the WindJammer was mediocre, the bread stayed hard and they cycled some of the same food out through the next day. Many things are geared for you to pay more combined with additional gratuities for your purchase. Guest services and Facets staff could use more training on customer relations. A lady in Guest Services at night was rude to a staff member right in front of me and the staff in Facets were rude because the agenda showed a champange farewell was to happen in their location. When we got there a bit early, they play the old 'let's play the blame' game because it seemed as if they did not get the memo that the event was to happen there. When I asked about it since I had no idea I was in the correct spot, the female staffer quickly denounced working for the ship and stated she worked for another company and was not in some meeting. What! I just asked if she knew if was held there so i can be sure if i was in the right location. All the while anothe male staffer was rude with his fellow co-worker, rudely stating he was too busy. In sum, I will not be returning to VOS.

Nice, relaxed small ship. Ports of call were enjoyable. Daily Mass on board was a nice treat.

Worth every penny! We HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who would like to sail for the first time.

This was our first cruise and was not sure what to expect. We were pleased with the stateroom and the ship. Our first day at sea was a bit overwhelming due to the number of people trying to enjoy the pool area. Talking with other experienced cruisers a larger ship is better. Once we arrived in the first port things got much better. We had a wonderful time and the service was great. I would recommend this ship for those that want a relaxing trip and older crowd. The itinerary was excellent and excursions were great fun.
