Just booked Vision-Carib. Tell me about her!

[LuckiStac13*Majesty*]

Looking for information on Vision of the Seas from those who have sailed her recently. I searched back and found Trainman's review and am in the process of checking that out.

 

Looks like she will be refurb'ed in October? Anyone have a listing of what will be added? I see no Boleros/Johnny Rockets which are two of my favs.

 

What is the "R Bar"? Looks like the Champagne Bar will be gone...?

 

What is the Park Cafe like? Giovanni's Table?

 

I am a big fan of Grandeur, so I'm sure I'll like Vision ( I am a small ship person). Doing the 5-night to Key West/Cayman in May.

 

Let me know likes/dislikes, all opinions are welcome. Thanks!

Book one of the wraparound corner afts on Deck 8 (JSs) or Deck 7 (D1s)! The balconies for these cabins on the Vision (and the Rhapsody) are fantastic.

Agree, had JS 8088 last Nov. Only down side is the long walk back to the cabin. Try not to forget something because you may stop and think if you really need it before going back.

 

It's a great ship, have a good time.

I was on Vision last November and enjoyed the cruise and the ship itself.

The staff had many members from Europe as were many of the passengers. The parade of flags on the last night is not to be missed.

 

 

I found the food to be good and enjoyed the variety of the afternoon snacks served in Windjammer but at the time I sailed, they were still under the old menu. A month later on Exlplorer with the new menu, the "snacks" were the exact same day after day.

 

On the negative side, the toilet in my cabin did back up more than once but was remedied each time.

 

Not a drinker, so I can't help you with bar info.

Thanks...already booked JS-8544 though. I love AFT cabins but my mom has mobility issues so she needs s'thing close to the elevator. Thanks tho, good to know.

Vision is a great ship! A link to my review from our May cruise is in my signature. Enjoy!

[chellecruise12]

We are looking forward to our 1st trip on Vision ourselves next May.. Western Caribbean for us..Roatan & Cozumel.. & Yes, we have booked 8588. Really looking forward to it & trying to find info also.. Are there any semi-private (secret) decks anywhere? :)

I will check it out, thanks!

I think it is the 8588 side of the ship that has the "secret" staircase up to the spa. Can't remember any secret sundecks. Of course, with 8588, you won't really need one.

We were on Vision's transatlantic last month and liked her a lot. The crew was great as well. With the refurb/upgrades to come she will be even better. It was also our first Inside cabin, it was either that or stay home ! You'll love her.

I'm glad you chose the inside cabin...staying home is not an option! Glad you liked the ship, thanks for commenting.
