Vision of the Seas Mediterranean Cruise May 16-28, 2015
This cruise and the itinerary was perfect for me and my friend and traveling partner, Jan. We had discussed which ports were a must-see for this trip. Naples with Pompeii for me and Rome for her plus something in Greece. In July, 2014, I received an email from RCI about their BOGO-half- off-second-person promotion. Looking at the itinerary and the low cost I knew this was the one for us.
We booked it through my trusty travel agent who also found an air option that would not involve 24 hours of travel. For some reason, there is no direct flight to Spain from Chicago. We got us on British Air which flew us to London with a connecting flight to Barcelona. The cost equaled the cruise fare! Jan suggested we upgrade to Economy Plus for an additional $300 for bigger, better seating, extra luggage allowance, better meal and entertainment options. I agreed with her that for this long flight that it would be a wise investment.
The cabin was a pleasant surprise. I expected it to be too small for 2 women but it actually was quite roomy with lots of storage space. The bathroom was clean and neat. The shower was what was expected. Sure wish they would get rid of the shower curtain and use doors.
