We've been on sailings out of Baltimore when it opens anywhere between 10 or 11 pm. If you weren't out at sea until well after midnight then they keep it closed until the next morning. Always a Bummer for us as we miss the casino on night 1 and our free Prime drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them being able to launder the complimentary robes to use again, but slippers?? I could use a pair of those for my trips to Walmart. 😉 I figured it was an amenity gift thing. They would be perfect for a wal mart visit. Who knows this may be another cutback - plan to launder the left behind slippers and re package ?? 😱 Can’t believe I would say such a thing!

Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted September 1 Author #108 Share Posted September 1 There’s a little over 2300 onboard. Very few kids. Impressions of Vision so far are good. I do not find that it is too small. It doesn’t FEEL small. Lots of windows and open spaces. While it’s one of Royals smallest ships it is actually still considered a large ship by normal standards. Crew has been wonderful and very cheery for the most part. That’s a big positive for us. I haven’t really run into anything that it doesn’t have yet that’s a dealbreaker. I think if you love bells and whistles of O and Q class you probably feel differently than me. Or if you’re a flow rider person you’d be out of luck here. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you stayed in a JS in a larger class such that you can compare? I plan to get some cabin pics posted soon. It’s similar size to a JS on Voyager class. I think it’s a bit smaller in the bathroom or at least it feels smaller than usual to me in terms of counter space. It doesn’t have the huge walk in closet but still has a good size closet. Balcony has a lounger, 2 chairs and small table. We typically stay in a JS or higher. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually deck 6 aft. Obviously one of my main hangouts. I like the enchanted lounge space too. Feels Very similar to Jewel/Radiance. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tito’s/water or Bourbon neat or ginger ale mostly. DW had a few old fashioned that were decent. Toasted Marshmallow OF she said was good but was dissappointed they didn’t garnish with the toasted marshmallows like they had before. She also enjoyed the coconut tito’s mojito from solarium bar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maureencruiser Posted September 1 #116 Share Posted September 1 Following because I'm looking at Vision for next year. I don't like flying, especially the cost. I can do Amtrak for $34 roundtrip.The thing about these smaller ships is I don't like the games, etc being in the Centrum, everyone crowding around the railings to see what's going on. Give me a comfortable seat in the lounge any day. I'm curious to see what you think of it. Happy sailing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the whole point of the toasted marshmallow old fashioned. The garnish is the main attraction. Really weak of them to not put it on. I always thought the schooner bar from my cruises were one level up from the Royal Theater on ships like Explorer, Adventure, and Liberty. I know on Oasis class it’s more aft. So is this class of ships all have the SB aft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Enchantment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely hold a lot of activities in the centrum that attracts passers by to stop at the railing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
