    Vision of the Seas - WORRIED

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    It will be what you want it to be. Go with a smile and a great attitude and you won't be disappointed. I really think you have to try to have a bad time on a cruise! And I say that as someone who isn't shy about complaining when things aren't as they should be.;)

     

    DH and I just returned from a 5 day Vision sailing (31 May from FLL)

    I can't speak to the dietary needs, although if you contact them in advance I'll bet they'll do their best.

     

    We had excellent service in the MDR/ MTD (Mr. Rolston) and from the bar staff (especially Christian). No problem getting bar service on sea days at our lounges, either. Our cabin steward was great as well (Mr. Ashton, JS, deck 8 aft 8590). No complaints about service. The only thing I found lacking was the Windjammer. It wasn't as good as the other ships. Our most recent cruise before that one was Enchantment in March and the Windjammer was better. The food line seemed cramped and crowded, main entrees were uninspiring, and the service was so-so.

     

    Giovanni's was the highlight meal of our cruise. Actually ended up there twice because the one night we planned for the Windjammer we walked out after checking out what was offered. Giovanni's took us right in without a reservation.

     

    That said, I'm taking my DD (24) on a mother/daughter cruise on Vision on the June 19th sailing. So when I left the ship, I could say, "see you in 2 weeks!" Made the leaving a little easier :D

     

    Hope this helps reassure you! Enjoy!

    Oasis 12-7/12-14 - Good, and a bit disappointing.

    I couldn't agree more about the Oasis Diamond Concierge. We also attended the Blaze cocktail hour every night, and were completely ignored. She was there some of the time, but always paying attention to the same few people and ignoring the rest.

    On other ships they have always made it a point to circulate among the guests, and sometimes to leave a message on the cabin voicemail letting us know about the next day's events. Nothing from Ms. Fernandez but the first day letter in the room. Disappointing.

    Boring (but needed) question about balcony discounts

    It seems that something has changed, or I'm missing something (possible!) Just did a test booking for the Indy on 12 April 2014. Tried it WITHOUT entering a C & A number (for the discount) and just looked at the Resident Rate. The Resident rate for a D! was $1394. Went back and entered my C & A number, and the rate changed to $1294. Only $100 discount! According to the (old?) chart, it should be $200, like it's been on previous cruises. What's up with that? Is this additional discount? Or, has something been taken away with the new booking "upgrade"?
