Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean.

Word on the street is to avoid cabins on deck two forward because of anchor chain noise.

The elevators are pretty spacious, but they took longer to arrive than most ships I've been on.

The sauna and steam rooms are in the men's and women's locker rooms and are complimentary.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Avoid cabins on deck two forward due to anchor chain noise.
โœ“Avoid cabins on deck three aft under the galley due to cooking activity.
โœ“Try the sauna and steam rooms in the locker rooms for a complimentary spa experience.
โœ“Arrive early for shows to secure a good seat.
โœ“Set card limits for kids using the arcade to manage spending.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin size and fit for family โ€” The ocean view cabin is tight for four people; it's better for two kids.
Noise levels in public areas โ€” The centrum gets loud, but cabin doors help reduce volume inside.
Finding seats for shows โ€” Arrive early or have someone from your group secure a good seat.

Is Royal Caribbeanโ€™s Vision of the Seas a timeless classic or just an old ship past her prime? Launched in 1998, this "Old Lady" offers a different experience than the mega-ships of today. In this full ship tour, we go deck-by-deck from the medical center to the Viking Crown Lounge to show you the good, the bad, and the noisy. We cover the critical details you need: which cabins to avoid due to anchor noise, the free sauna hack most cruisers miss, the truth about the "slow" elevators, and a look at the food in the Aquarius Dining Room and Windjammer. If you are planning a cruise on Vision of the Seas, watch this before you pick your stateroom!
