    Thanks for sharing, very nice review! We’ll be sailing to Bermuda on Vision in September. Specifically chose it because we prefer the older, smaller ships. The problem, to me, with the new ships like Icon & the Oasis class is that most of their bells and whistles require extra payment - the activities and amenities included in your cruise fare are essentially the same across the fleet. Hoping RCI builds more of these Baltimore/Tampa sized ships in the future.

      Hello ALL! I could really really use some help. I'm booked my very first cruise the other night with Royal Caribbean and my ship is Vision of the Seas. I was going to get the drink pkg, but I don't have any idea what is actually available. I have gout, and it can get pretty severe if I start drinking the wrong alcohol. Last thing I want is to be air lifted off the ship in the middle of vacation. Does anyone know which bars on Vision of the Seas has draft beer on tap and which more importantly which brands. (i.e. miller light, Guinness, Porter etc). Also is water included in the drink package? I have been on the phone with customer service and combed through their website but there really are not specifics on these things. THANK YOU in advance to anyone that responds with correct information. I really do appreciate it.

      @@PlumCrazyAdventuresI always heard that the bigger cruise ships couldn’t get into Baltimore because they couldn’t get underneath the Key Bridge. So that makes me wonder if when they build a new bridge if they will somehow make it taller for the bigger cruise ships? Or, is it also an issue with the actual port not being big enough or deep enough? It would be fantastic if they could get the bigger, more luxurious cruise ships into Baltimore. There is a huge base of cruisers here.

    Thanks for this video. We are taking this exact ship, out of Baltimore, in October, when it goes up the East Coast to Canada. This will be our very first cruise ever, and I have to be honest in that I have been concerned about the age of the ship. My husband says my standards are too high! 👸🏼👑 Lol. Would I love to go on one of the giant new Royal Caribbean ships? Of course! But, right now he can’t fly so this is our option for leaving from our hometown of Baltimore. And being a little bit of a germophob, cleanliness is always my main thing. Yes, I’m bringing Lysol spray and Clorox wipes, which most cruisers recommend anyway. Thanks again!

    great review. my parents talked me into going on this cruise with them through a 3rd party.. im kind of disappointed that this is what I get for $1,500. A day in Florida and 2 days in the Bahamas when I could've gotten a whole week in the Bahamas at a decent place. I just feel like they could've done better. GREAT review though. Is it more of an older crowd? Im trying to figure out how to entertain myself for the other days on board.

    I'm not a hater of Royal, I sail them all the time. I was completely shocked when I saw this ship in port. Had no idea it was the Vision or even a Royal ship. It looks terrible. Like a ship from the 70s. Not only outdated but the exterior looks like it was little to no upkeep. I've seen really poor ships from carnival and this was every bit as poor from the outside. I know Royal does a good job updating interiors, but still think the standard balcony is definitely sub par at best unfortunately. Just not worth sailing on with so many other Royal ships available.
