Additional details
I was on the same cruise as Carpecruisin and am sorry that a good time was not had by all, but would like to add my review of this very same cruise.
To start off, I would like to say that in Aug 2008 and May 2009 we took 2 wonderful cruises aboard RCI's 'biggest and best' liner (at this very moment) The Independence of the Seas.
Being relatively new to this cruising lark, (since 2007) but now fully addicted, we have now racked up all of an impressive 4 cruises - so it is early days for us to be gauging lines and ships. The Indy had proved herself to be absolutely delightful and therefore, having experienced the crème de la crème from RCI, it was with trepidation that I finally booked a trip on the Vision of the Seas, the itinerary being a 5 night cruise from Copenhagen to Bergen and Gerainger in Norway.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
Cabin 3567 - deck 3. One of the cheaper catagories. All adequate.
Bathroom - was as small as expected. Shower curtain was annoyingly clingy and I hope they get rid of that soon! Extractor was effective and not too noisy. Only small bar of soap provided and shampoo via a wall dispenser.
Cabin general - ok size-wize, mirrors give the impression of more space and light. Decor non-obtrusive beige and green. TV old style was bulky and I'm sure could do with an upgrade to flat screen. No mini-bar fridge, but items (sodas, water and sweets/savouries) left on the vanity. Ice bucket replenished often. Hairdryer working and good quality. Small cupboards dotted around with lots of storage. 6 drawers in vanity for clothes.
Wardrobe/closet - spacious and enough hangers available. No problems there.
Location: a little confusing as mid-ship and access could be via 4 routes. We identified pictures and a clock to get our bearings! Nice and quiet location, cabins below and above - so no noisy bars or public areas nearby. Very quiet area, but we could have been lucky to have had quiet and courteous neighbours.
