Vision of the Seas Tips

take your own bags when checking out if you can. faster disembarkation

If you are a drinker, get the drink package early for it will double in cost if you Waite and get it on the ship...

Using the Express (carrying your own bags) disembarkation really saved time leaving the ship early in the morning.

We carried our own bags off. So much faster during disembarkation.

I will never sail on a ship like this ever again especially during holidays. The price for the cruise was high the quality was Lackluster!! Royal Caribbean has really gone down in quality in food, entertainment, and on making cruising a enjoyable experience.

Until RCCL is able to resolve their problems with crew attitude on this ship, pick another ship or another cruise line

The ship offers great excursions but a bit expensive. I like a little bit of adventure, you can find many option right outside the port. Very inexpenisve ways to see places are trains and buses. Also, you can find people with the same interest looking for transportantion. You can team up with them!

you can take it if the "price is right" there are better ships. However, the service was good and personnel very attentive. We had, as diamond+ members, at the same day 2 deliveries of food to the cabin, why can't that be on different days? Same goes for invitations - 2 in one day!

The ports that you stop at are mostly about shopping unless you have booked an excursion. There are lots of people selling the same excursions off the boat. We used the dive shop right at the pier to go snorkeling and had a great time with great snorkeling

Go for the specific settings for dinner---these seemed to work better.

casino was fun and you did not loose you money it afforded you to play for awhile before you lost...poker machines were the best to stretch your money..service no matter where you were was great and the people were friendly as well as efficient

Go to the dining room for breakfast--skip the buffet whenever possible.

Food much better in the dining room than at the buffet. Eat in dining room as much as possible.

Go for the automatic bingo machine. It's the fastest and easiest way to win.

Speciality restaurants are a good choice on the first day. Hitting the fitness center mid morning better than early morning.

The cruise director teaches the Michael Jackson "Thriller" dance on board to anyone who wants to learn and then the people perform it on the last night. It was great!

Make sure you check out the adult area which is where the indoor pool is. You will never want to leave that place. Also I highly recommend chops steakhouse great atmosphere and food.

Ask for Alex in the Windjammer. He is GREAT!

Nice lite lunch and snacks available in the Solarium

Take advantage of off the special deals they have to offer it will save you a great deal of money
