Sail Date: Dec 2012
Cabin: Large Ocean View Stateroom

Our first cruise with RCCL. We decided to try a December cruise with RCCL based on the itinerary offered. The Vision is a lovely ship and considering that it's due for renovation, is in very good shape. The public rooms are very attractive and were beautifully decorated for the holidays.

Our personal philosophy is that any vacation is what one makes of it, but there was just something off about the whole cruise.

I have never boarded a ship where I was welcomed aboard and not escorted (or at least directed) to my cabin. Nor have I ever been made to feel like I was imposing on the staff when I did ask for direction. My first view of the interior of the ship was a discarded cup and glass sitting on a pillar next to the elevator just as one comes aboard. The same cup and glass were still there a few hours later as we were exploring the ship. Not an auspicious beginning to a cruise.

Cabin Review

Large Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin F

This cabin was a disappointment in that it was less roomy than expected and the overhead noise was very distracting, especially at night when trying to sleep. It sounded as if furniture was being moved every evening and a lot of partying activities were held in the Centrum which was located directly above this cabin. I don't recall ever experiencing such a noisy environment.
