I am part of a group of 19 Australians that went on the 28th September sailing of the Vision of The Seas. Coming from Australia it was hard for us to decide which was the best cruise line to travel on. Our travel agent tried to talk us into a Carnival cruise but thanks to cruise critic we decided on RCCL. So thank you for all of your postings as it really helped us decide.

We arrived in separate shuttle buses from Anaheim about 11:30. We decided to film some of the family arriving at the terminal and immediately got yelled at and told that no photography was allowed, we hadn't even hit the terminal yet. Would have been nice if there were a few signs on the street to let you know this.

We were on the ship in no time at all and went to the Windjammer for lunch. We found the food at the windjammer was always good and the service fantastic.After lunch we went to our stateroom, found our bags near the lifts and unpacked immediately. 3 of our suitcases fitted under the bed and 1 in the wardrobe. We found the staterooms to be very well designed although a little tight when all trying to get ready at the same time. Plenty of room to pack everything away. Our room steward Gabriel was terrific we never really saw him, which is probably because we were never in the room.The room was always clean and tidy.The kids loved the towel animals, couldn't get to the stateroom fast enough at night to see what animal we had.Sailaway was very exciting. Band was playing everyone really excited as we sailed off into the sunset. Read more
