We chose the 12 night Mediterranean / Greek Islands cruise partly because it started at Barcelona (We added 4 days at the start to explore this incredible city) and also because the itinerary visited places we'd either not been to before, or not visited for a number of years.
Embarkation was very smooth, we waited until mid afternoon to beat the rush, it also meant that the traditional day one lunch at Windjammer was less crowded as we timed to get there just after the cabins opened.
Our previous RC cruises have mostly been on the Independence Of The Seas and the Navigator, both much larger ships than this one. We were concerned that the Vision might feel too small, but we needn't have worried. The space was very well used and beautifully presented. Our cabin was a junior suite, spacious and in an excellent location on deck 8.
A fantastic location within the ship- Windjammer, the Solarium, Park Cafe and the Gym were one deck above, the main entertainment areas on deck 6. This was midship.
Lets start with the downside - the main pool deck was above,, and there was some noise when people walked across (we assume in heels or boots) but nothing you couldn't get used to. Also sometimes there was some scraping early in the morning when sun beds were being put out , but nothing that lasted for more than a few seconds.
Thats it - apart from that, the room was spacious, comfortable and had a huge balcony. My wife really appreciated having her own bath, I would have liked a shower I could have stood up in but then I am exceptionally tall! There was a kettle and fridge in the room. We really enjoyed having this space and would definitely book it again.
