Coralc Posted January 12, 2013 #226 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I was going to invite them to ours too, before I realized that Feb. 4 +21 days =Feb. 25. Calendar math again. :rolleyes: We board on the 25th. :D Congratulations on your anniversary! It's too bad D+ won't do much for you on this ship, but there should be a party and great ports! :D:) ~Patti :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted January 12, 2013 Author #227 Share Posted January 12, 2013 We just discovered this thread, today.Thanks for the outstanding pictures and commentary !!!!!!!! We sail with Vision, for the first time, on February 4 for a B2B -- (21) days that we're looking forward to !!!!!!!!!!! I must admit that we were somewhat concerned about Vision's age/condition and relatively small size, but your excellent reporting has allayed our concern. We're celebrating our 45th Anniversary on this voyage and we'll also achieve Diamond+ during Leg 2, so we're looking forward to an outstanding cruise. I'm glad you liked the review, congrats on making D+! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbunny Posted January 28, 2013 #228 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hello Darth--We returned from our 11 night cruise 3 days ago, and I am wistfully reviewing your beautiful photos. Ours are mainly of people-fillled activities, and yours show Vision in all her glory. I wish I could say we'll be back on her after the refit, but with a home port in Colon, it seems doubtful. Thanks again for your terrific review. And yes, we had a splendid time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted January 29, 2013 #229 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Judging by your pictures I think I'll avoid the Vision of the Seas. I love your pics don't get me wrong just not an fan of the decor. Wow, I made it this far and I feel just the opposite. I LOVE it. It's like no ship I've ever seen I find it very elegantly retro and much more detailed in a beautiful way than those larger than the Radiance class ships. I was thinking what a shame it will be when they take her in for her makeover this fall. Or maybe they won't rip out the best parts. Who needs a concierge lounge?

mommabean Posted January 29, 2013 #230 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I know the cookies are free and don't require a purchase. They are the same ones served in the Promenade Cafe on the the bigger ships. I'm not sure about the pastries though. Not sure if you need to make a purchase or not, can someone verify this? Any Lattetudes I've been to has free pastries of any kind - no purchase required. People don't seem to realize this. They are going to throw the leftovers away otherwise.

stretchcruz Posted January 29, 2013 #231 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We got off the Vision 2 weeks ago, and the whole time we were there my husband kept saying, "I really forgot how beautiful this ship is"...we loved it. Great experience, great crew, great everything. As far as the cookies, one day I was passing by and saw they had Ranger cookies, my fave, and I stopped and asked for one. He asked me how many I wanted, and they were free, no purchase required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the cookies, we were limited to 2 at the Lattetudes, but not charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMED2010 Posted January 29, 2013 #233 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Loved your review! Vision sounds nice and I LOVED all of your ports. Fabulous pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretchcruz Posted January 29, 2013 #234 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) The guy at Lattetudes the day I was there would have given me as many as I wanted. I told him no thank you, I would eat them if I had them, didn't need the temptation. Edited January 29, 2013 by stretchcruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkwolfe Posted January 29, 2013 #236 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have to say Grady, your review did a good job of lighting some extra excitement up for my GF. She's only been on Mariner before. We're both really ready to get gone for our sailing on 2/4. Should be a really nice cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pspercy Posted January 29, 2013 #238 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Great photos. These and Trainman-2's B2B report make me look (again) at doing the Panama Canal trip on her or her sister ship :) Edited January 29, 2013 by pspercy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffett fan Posted February 12, 2013 #239 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hello....we're getting ready to cruise on the Vision on Friday and I am feverishly packing. Do you recall if there were hair dryers in the cabins? By the way, I have gone back through your review again and again looking at all the pictures -it's gotten me that much more excited. Thanks!

If you mean hair dryers, yes all the staterooms have hair dryers. They are the type that have a button that must be constantly pressed to keep the power on. Also, some people think they are not powerful enough, so they recommend bringing your own if you have very thick hair.

pspercy Posted February 14, 2013 #246 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Anyone know if the promenade goes all the way around the ship or is part of it blocked ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthGrady Posted February 14, 2013 Author #247 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Anyone know if the promenade goes all the way around the ship or is part of it blocked ? You can't walk around the front section like on some of the other classes, it's blocked off with gates.
