We just got back from our Vision of the Seas cruise to the Western Caribbean. This was our 35th cruise on at least 6 different lines. Last year I went on a back to back on the Vision. I was so disappointed with the cutbacks in the past year as well as the terrible staff.
First the cutbacks:
Last Year This Year
Cabin was OK, but we asked for two Cruise Compass each night and only got one copy half the time. We asked for ice at night and never got it.
Been to Costa Maya 5 times. This was the dullest I have ever seen it. Usually it is a hopping place. Main bar was empty and depressing. Usually it is busy with singers and dancers and games.
