The Vision of the Seas was our choice because the itinerary stopped in some ports we had not been to before. I was pleasantly surprised after reading some of the other cruise critics reviews that the ship was in wonderful condition. I absolutely loved the size and the renovations that had been done on her. The atrium was used for many gatherings, and I was glad to see it was put to use instead of just looking pretty. Our cabin was updated , air conditioning worked great, bath was updated, however they still had the shower curtain that stuck to you if you got too close, it would be nice if they used shower doors instead.

Food was fabulous, service everywhere was first class!! My one complaint would have to be the shore excursions, we arrived in Montenegro too late to have a shore excursion, our shore excursion in Athens was cancelled due to lack of participation on a sold out ship( we were supposed to go to Corinth and only 16 people booked the trip), and our excursion in argostoli was 1 1/2 hours late getting back to the ship. My favorite excursion was on Mykonos, we took the trip to Delos, it was fabulous to see the ancient ruins on this uninhabited island, to be able to sit in the theatre on the the same benches people sat on thousands of years ago, the museum was great also!! Even though we had difficulty with some of these excursions the ports were still wonderful, and I loved the itinerary!!

I loved this cruise and the ship, if you have only cruised on the mega ships you might find this one a little dull, but I have cruised on both, and would take the smaller, older ship any day over the big ones because it is easier to get around, and they go to more interesting ports!!
