Vision of the Seas receives mixed reviews, with many guests praising the friendly and attentive staff, enjoyable entertainment, and well-organized excursions. However, several reviewers note that the ship is showing its age, with dated decor, small cabins, and maintenance issues. Food quality and variety are frequently mentioned as inconsistent, and some guests feel that value for money has declined due to increased upcharges. The ship's smaller size is appreciated by some for its intimacy but criticized by others for limited activities. Overall, the cruise is enjoyable for many, especially due to service and ports, but expectations should be managed regarding ship condition and amenities.
