My wife and I previously cruised on Vision of the Seas to Alaska in 2006. It was the best cruise we ever took. We were looking forward to sailing on her again but were disappointed.
We are emerald members of the Crown & Anchor Society and made diamond on this cruise. We have a similar status on Holland America so we are not new to cruising.
First for the good stuff. The ship was clearly updated since our previous cruise on Vision. It was quite attractive and had nice facilities for an older, smaller ship. Our cabin was a nice size, had plenty of storage space and was kept clean by a very attentive cabin steward.
This was a handicap cabin. Quite roomy. Lots of storage. There was quite a bit of ship's noise, however.
