RCI delivered another great experience. We chose this trip because of the itinerary and it met all our expectations. We spent a few days in London on our way to Copenhagen and had a very good time we were traveling with another couple who were very inexperienced travelers and it was very interesting to watch their reaction to the various sites we visited. We have been to London several times but had never been there when Buckingham Palace was open to tourist and we took advantage of the Queen being out of town and visited her home, quite a step up from our home. Worth the time if you get there during the late summer.

We got to Copenhagen a couple of days early and enjoyed the city, we stayed at the Palace Hotel which was a great location and a very nice hotel just a few blocks from Tivoli Gardens and half a block to the pedestrian mall that is so popular with both tourist and locals. The canal boat tour is well worth the money.

On Sat. Sept 14 we went to board the Vision of The Seas and have never had an easier embarkation. We are Emerald level crown and anchor members and even though they had not set up the premium boarding lines the only way we could have gotten on board faster was to run it was very fast. On board about 12:45m we found that our stateroom was not available but we were not surprised by this and had a lite lunch in the windjammer which was not overly crowded and by that time we were allowed in our room which was typical of any stateroom on a ship small but convenient we had not booked a balcony for the first time in several trips because we felt like the weather wouldn't permit a lot of time out there anyway. We met Ashton right away and he provided excellent service throughout the trip. Read more
