My husband and I recently cruised to Bermuda on the Vision of the Seas. It does not have all the bells and whistles, but the staff make up for it. Big shout out to the Windjammer waiters; Praveen, Jaypee, Raymart, Linton, and Rayan. Our Stateroom Attendant, Roviel, too. They are all attentive, hardworking, and provided excellent service. Fernando and Andre at Latte-tudes always got our ...
This was my 41st cruise and 13th on Royal Caribbean. I traveled with my husband and 2 adult daughters. We are from Long Island and Manhattan. This was the May 11th 9-night sailing to Bermuda, Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
I highly recommend this cruise! But you need to keep everything in perspective. Because while this ship lacks “things,” it more than makes up for it in “people” – ...
My wife and I enjoy the convince of the Port of Baltimore as well as the atmosphere of the smaller ships. The boarding process was quick and easy. Royal Caribbean changed our boarding time from 1030 to 1130 to allow more time to prep the ship. We booked a Junior Suite on the 8th deck near the rear of the ship. I would recommend that you don't book this room if noise bothers you. We thought by ...
Was the ship too small? The food not good enough? The service lacking? Entertainment not exciting?
Let's break it all down after a 9-day Bermuda, Nassau, and Perfect Day at CocoCay cruise aboard Vision of the Seas.
Starting with the ship overall - it was in fantastic shape for its age. Minimal signs of rusting, though we heard from folks with balcony cabins that the divider hinges had rusted ...
This cruise was pretty inexpensive compared to other Royal Caribbean cruises. The ship was well kept along with great service from the crew. It didn’t seem there was a lot to do in the Bahamas, Grand Bahamas was a little shallow on activities unless you like water activities. Bimini also the same, the best island was Coco Cay which is a day on the beach, sandwich bites from food shacks, a large ...
I have never been treated more poorly by individuals who were supposed to be providing me with a service. The security on the ship is absolutely abysmal. There is zero care or concern for the safety and well-being of guests, there is flagrant misuse of authority and absolutely unbecoming conduct by several higher ranking crew members.
The food was low quality and cold. Much of the ship was ...
I thought by taking a twelve day cruise rather than flying to the southern caribbean would be a good idea. But what turned out to be seven days on this boat was a bad mistake. This ship is old and very very warm down. Who can afford to take a twelve day cruise old people!. It's very worn-out and in a upgrade despitely. As for the crew they did the best they could do with what they had to deal ...
This was to be another fantastic family cruise - post COVID crap and back together celebrating. What a bomb. Our first cruise (circa 2001 - we have been on 10 cruises since) was on Navigator - I still remember being offered a Pina Colada the minute we hit the entry hall on the ship - "you are on vacation mon .... we've been waiting for you!" Well, this is a fond memory never to be had again. All ...
Leaving from Baltimore this cruise is on one of Royal's oldest ships in their current fleet, Enchantment of the Seas, invoking ideas that'll be dated, lack activities and in general be a boring ship, I'd say the opposite! This ship has some fun extra details due to its extension back in 2005, offering it's outdoor Oasis bar and a larger pool deck with see through floors to the passing ocean below! ...
We had always heard Royal Caribbean was the top of the line when it came to cruise ships. So, we decided, this time, to try one. It was a nice cruise but definitely not a step up from Celebrity or Norwegian. The little things were missing, not many dining venues were offered, requests for dining time changes were frowned upon (and actually made us feel awkward — we were a party of only 2!),…We ...
