Royal Caribbean disappointment

Review for a Middle East Cruise on Vision of the Seas

We decided to stay the first night in Dubai prior to boarding the cruise due to landing in Dubai at 0730 and only being allowed onto the ship after 1230. We have cruised with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity on previous occasions and found them to be second to none. This cruise was very disappointing. The ship is clean but tired. The minute you arrive at the port terminal its a 'hard sell'. ...

This cruise was part of a package whch seemed to good to be true at the price, We travelled as a group of 4 who are very experienced cruisers. The embarkation ran very smoothly and efficient, but we were some of the first to get on board. FOOD Whilst we were waiting for our luggage to arrive to our cabins we decided to go to the main restaurant to book our ANY TIME DINING as we had ...

Big Disappointment

This ship was a huge dissapointment after hearing that Royal Caribbean was a great line. To begin with, you have to ask for shampoo, conditioner and shower gel..they are not automatically put in your cabin. When they run out, you have to ask for replacements. The food was terrible in the main dining room at dinner. In the buffet, there was more choice but still not first class food. The ...

We have just returned from cruise and this was the worst we have ever experienced. We do appreciate the price we paid but there was so many disappointing aspects to this cruise. We booked an outside cabin on to find that our cabin had 2extremely small port holes. We had to have the lights on whenever we were in cabin. Our first shock was when we left port the whole cabin shook and the vibration ...

To be quite honest, we choose this cruise on price, as we were actually in the travel agents paying the final payment for our imminent caribbean cruise with msc and it seemed too good to be real or true! Really, were it not for the msc cruise being that weekend, i might have researched royal caribbean international (rci) out and not gone at all. Otherwise, i simply forgot, after our ...

My wife and I are 30 and from the U.S., and took a 7-day "arabian" gulf (read: persian gulf) cruise for two reasons: First, we had an expiring RC credit that we had to use, and second, because the itinerary was awesome. We knew going into this that the Vision was an old, smaller ship, but we figured we would use the ship solely as a vehicle for lodging, food and transportation to take us around ...

We chose this cruise to see this part of the world but while the ports were worth a visit the organised trips with RC were grossly over priced !!!!! Vision of the Sea is tired but the main crib is with the greed of RC like other reviews i found the amount of times we had to say no to photographs is out of order. After getting to our room i went for a shower only to find that there was no ...

I have just returned from a 7 day cruise out of Dubai on RCCL's Vision of the Seas. She is an older ship that carries 2,500 people. A size and age that I usually love. Sadly, Vision was rather tired. Despite the best attempts of the crew to keep her clean it never felt quite like they had succeeded. The food was a really mixed bag. At times it was excellent and other it was horrible. ...

We decided to try Royal Caribbean Arabian Gulf cruise because the weather in the area would be warm but not to hot at this time of year. The embarkation was not too bad, we arrived in Dubai about 7.30 after an overnight flight from London and had to wait till 11.00 to embark. the luggage arrived in our cabin about 6 PM. The ship is ideal size and still in good condition after the 2013 ...
