Arrived in Stockholm the day before departure and enjoyed a brief look at the charming old town. Although a large city Stockholm retains a town atmosphere and is beautifully positioned on a group od islands connected by bridges and ferries. Sin taxes are high to help[ pay for a cradle to grave welfare state do drinking and eating out can be very expensive as are admission fees for most sights. The reasonably priced Arlanda Express is the beat way from the airport to town if you are staying near the Central Station.
Cab transfer to the pier from our hotel near Central Station was easy, quick and cheaper than expected. Boarding was well organized and a breeze.
Vision is an older ship but in good shape - better than I expected given some previous reviews. My bed was more comfortable that the one on my recently completed trip on the completely renewed Grandeur. On that note most of the so called "enhancements" on the Grandeur were either the conversion of public space to added cabins, a cheesy high wire act and 3 added price restaurants to help you spend your money. I liked Vision much better. Sadly it is to be "enhanced" just like Grandeur. Too bad.
