Cabin: Owner's Suite

After great cruises on Celebrity and Princess. I decided to give RCI another chance. The dates, length of cruise and price was perfect. So I am questioning what happened to this cruise line and this ship?

I nominate Vision of Seas for the cruise ship hall of shame. Here is why:

Shame on RCI for having so many hand sanitizer stations malfunctioning and/or empty. And for little signs in restrooms telling people to use hand towels to open the bathroom door. Trouble is, there are no trash cans for disposing the germy towels.

Cabin Review

Owner's Suite

Cabin OS

Suite 8014 - I was worried about the location of the room being so close to the forward stairwell. There was virtually no noise bleed from the hallway. The cabin is nicely decorated and has lots of storage space. Odd that both closets are double poled so you cannot hang pants or skirts. What were they thinking? Some the furniture has the smell of stale beer. NIce wall of windows. It would have been even better if housekeeping would have cleaned them inside and out.Bath is roomy with lots of towels. Tub is not jetted and is a bit awkward to enter. For your own safety, hold onto the towel racks.Water pressure from shower head is a bit weak; but watch out for the sink faucets. The water pressure is incredible high and will splash water all over you if not careful. The "upgraded" shampoo, soap, etc. are really nothing to write home about.
