There’s a great big world out there full of new places to explore, and Vision of the Seas® is the perfect ship to see it from. No matter where you wander, it’s full of ways to make memories in between onshore adventures — like Broadway-style shows, dining that always hits the spot, and activities that make every moment onboard wow-worthy.
The staff on board were all incredibly helpful and nice - which goes a long way to making a good cruise. Boarding and departure were easy and quick. You can be off the ship by 7:30am easy if you wish, and no later than 9. Dining is limited on this older ship - Chops, Giovani's and Izumi are the specialties in addition to Park Cafe, Windjammer and Main Dining. For our seaday-intensive sailing the ultimate dining package worked out great - lots of lunch opportunities in the specialty dining venues. We had owner's suite 8004. Huge room, great balcony with chairs and loungers. But - all suites are below active public areas and prone to noise from above. Our particular suite was especially noisy from the carts being wheeled about in Windjammer, generally starting at 3 in the morning and going all day. The bathroom also had, at times, a strong odor. The staff was good about trying to solve the issue, but ultimately were unable to do so. The balcony also wasn't particularly private - with parts being visible from Windjammer, and the balcony partitions not going all the way back to the wall. The suite perks are limited on this class of ship - the best being unlimited drinks and munchies in the suite lounge from 4:30-8 each evening. You also get a good breakfast in Chops. I would like to seem them toss in specialty dining, a bottle of champagne and WiFi for the suites since there's no Coastal Kitchen. Our suite concierge, Gabe, did an amazing job of taking care of our reservations, advice, etc. He also provides escort off the ship on final disembarkation, skipping the line and the sky bridge ramps. WiFi worked well for the entire trip - though we generally left our phones in the room to disconnect and re-connect - ya' know? Casino is well attended - but very very crowded and smoky. Not a place for you if you're claustrophobic. Music venues were well attended, and very late night club was always busy with the younger cruisers (after 11:30). Missing was any lounge with current music for happy hour. I'd like a bit more of a young-at-heart vibe place to hang before dinner.
Vision of the Seas is a small but fun ship! Leaving from Baltimore was so easy. We were on ship by 10:30. Very efficient! We stayed on the 2nd floor with an inside cabin. Great storage but the king bed was hard to walk around. We ended up having our state room attendant separate them. Everything we packed was put away. Suitcases under the beds helped too. The fitness center was crowded in the beginning of the cruise. Not many treadmills but I was able to walk and do some weights. Then less people came to the gym later in the week! The ship has an old fashioned classic feel. Lots of woodwork and rich upholstery. Lounges and theatre were very comfy. Dinner and buffet food, I feel had better quality than the big ships. I could be crazy but I thought the chocolate desserts had more flavor! Bars, everyone was friendly and hard working. I never had a bad drink! Bartenders knew us by the second day! Service in the dining and buffet were sometimes slow. But it was relaxing. Getting a drink or a refill took some time. The entertainment was great! The house band and orchestra were amazing. Rock Port played everything! The comedian was very funny! We had to skip a port because of weather. It was the Beach Club at Nassau. There's always next cruise! Be prepared, the casino is smoky! I would definitely bring Febreeze next time! We were apprehensive of a small ship and it was the week of Easter. Yes, there were 500 kids but we did not hang out in the same places. Yes, there were kids running around and hanging out. But it wasn't that bad. We always found pool deck chairs on the upper level. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. I read other reviews of how people come back just to see the crew. You could see the connections that people had made! I would definitely sail again on the Vision of the Seas!
We love cruising on the vision. The staff is so friendly and fun. The food is always top notch. And there is always something fun to do. The weather was kind of rainy and chilly. The best day we had was in Charleston (our favorite port). We ate at choppes for lunch our first day. Best steak ever. Love the food there. MDR was very good though not a fan of Mexican night (at at wind jammer) and Asian night. Otherwise food was great. Rockport is a great band to listen to every night. SHows not so good. WIndjammer excellent. Did the whiskey tasting and a waste of money there. The solarium is nice. love the hot tubs. Drinks at bars were good though the bartenders at the R bar made there's very strong. Too strong sometimes and hard to drink. But overall drinks were great. Cabin is nice. Have to remember an interior is not meant to be spacious though never felt cramped. Our attendant was great always kept it clean and got us what we needed. Love doing the Karaoke and rockaroke. Trivias always fun too. Always win a pen or highlighter lol There were 7 of us and every night our MDR made us feel so welcome. Very few complaints if really any.
