Vision of the Seas 4k Full Ship Tour | Royal Caribbean

Vision of the Seas and part of the Vision Class of ships is Royal Caribbean's 4th oldest ship and 2nd smallest ship. Royal Caribbean does not build ships like Vision of the Seas anymore! The new ships have many more features, newer design, and a different style of cruising.
Going on Vision of the Seas for an 8 night Mediterranean cruise, I was worried she would look tired and dated but the ship has been maintained VERY well. I was very pleased with the condition of the staterooms and the common spaces. If you are also looking to sail Vision of the Seas out of Fort Lauderdale or later in Baltimore, you are getting a fantastic ship!
This tour will give you a full ship tour of all of the common spaces onboard Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas so you can see just how well she has been maintained!

I used to be a crew member on here and its the fondest memories i have. Bigger ships hold no magic or class and vision will always gave my ❤ xx

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

That is very great to hear!

[@rubykam4839]

We just love this ship! The Atrium is beautiful and always has something happening. Love the Schooner Bar too! Great review!

[@traceydriver9737]

Are there a lot of kids?

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thank you! She is a beautiful ship!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

There are not. The ship is not designed with kids in mind and there's not a lot for them to do. You'll find a lot more kids on the bigger and newer ships.

[@MikeJones-nu4sd]

This is an excellent tour of Vision of the Seas! Our home port is Baltimore so we have sailed a lot on Enchantment OTS many times. Now we are heading to Ft. Lauderdale to board Vision next month and will be on her for 20 days right up to her sailing into Baltimore. This video answered many of our questions about the differences between the two ships. In addition, your tips on special places onboard are just what we need. We did check out other videos with Vision tours and this one was far and away the best. Your style and narration are top of the line. Thanks very much!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Hey Mike and thank you!! It's funny how I really did put off making ship tour videos as I never saw any I really liked! Glad my style is resonating and helpful! Thank you for the 3nfiurwging 2ods this morning and enjoy Vision OTS! She is a great ship!

[@judis4900]

I love the smaller ships for their charm and less passengers. thanks for the tour.

[@FraserAtSea]

Wow - that atrium is absolutely stunning - I really miss the old-style 'to the top' glass-roofed atriums from the more traditional ships - I find now that cruise lines tend to fill that open space with loads of inside cabins. This ship looks to be ageing really nicely actually - obviously taken really good care of!

[@rebeccalyons1327]

I totally agree

[@avv1435]

There is nothing stunning about this ship. It’s old, dated and needs to be refurbished.

[@AnatolLudwigStiller]

@@avv1435 How dare you? 😲 The Vision of the Seas is not old; no one would call her old. She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine seabird: weatherly, stiff and fast... very fast, if she's well handled. No, she's not old; she's in her prime.

[@christineshields1714]

Great tour video! Years ago, we were on Enchantment of the Seas. She's quite similar. We love the layout and focus of the older style ships. They feature views of the ocean front and center rather than focusing on the center of the ship.

Thanks for the tour. It was excellent. You are very good at describing the ship and charming at the same time. I can see you aren't much of a gambler because it seems like casinos don't care about cameras anymore, judging by the number of KZbin channels of slot machines. 😉 I liked your room tour on this trip also and the way you accentuate the positive but include the negative. I will be leaving from Baltimore on this ship in October 23 to Bermuda. Looking forward to it.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Thanks Eleanor and really appreciate the nice comment! Casino KZbin is getting much more popular but you should see the paperwork and red tape they have to jump through in order to make that happen! Met a few of the slot folks and it is crazy!

Thanx for the great tour of Vision. I've been on Grandeur and Enchantment, her older sisters, many times and have 2 bookings on Vision when she comes to Baltimore. It was fun touring with you and comparing what was familiar to what was different on this ship. You even shot one item that is very reassuring for me. Re your comment on the name of the lounge on 6 aft, I think a lot of the facilities on these old ships were named for songs in Broadway musicals.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

What was the item that was reassuring for you? Yes, they have kept this ship up very well! Especially, when I think of her sisters. One other person commented it is from "South Pacific". Love the internet!

[@rosemarielinville4152]

Gorgeous ship - thanks : )

[@campusx4195]

Was on Rhaposdy of the Seas once. Was bummed at first cause not a Mega-ship Oasis class etc. But....it grew on me after a day or two and it was fun. Less people, plenty of things to do and well maintained. The diamond lounge and viking crown lounge was smaller and rooms a bit dated, but service was the same and actually found Chops to be the best one so far..they did an amazing job. Casino was a bit small too but I hit a jackpot for 1600.00 so cant complain....for the price(way cheaper than Oasis Class) it was worth it and would do it again.....but I am sort of addicted to Allure and want to try out Wonder of the seas if I can.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

They are 2 very different experiences but glad you can appreciate both! That is the key to life!

[@CruiseDude1]

If you jog or take long walks, Deck 10 is great with the running track but a nice backup is Deck 5 which is "outside" but with an overhang that adds weather protection if it's raining, a bit too cold or too sunny.

[@AronRoss72]

Thanks for posting Brandon. I have to give it to Royal for keeping their old ships looking great! After sailing four Royal ships in a row starting May 2022 on Freedom, Nov 2022 Harmony, Jan 2023 on Navigator, and Ovation in May 2023, my girlfriend and I like Freedom of the Seas the best. Navigator is a close second but we just wish it had Giovanni's instead of Jaime's. We did not like Jaime's and tried them twice, the 1st time was on Harmony then on Navigator. Harmony was fine and never felt overwhelmed, but we are not fans of a ship that has too many indoor areas. The number one reason we cruise is to see the ocean and not walk through a park or a Promenade with no outside light. The one thing Harmony has is that Solarium, which is superior to the smaller ships we sailed, although they blew it by not having a pool in there. We are going to take a break from Royal for a while. One of our main issues are their pricing and free food venues, especially the Windjammer. The food is inconsistent and usually hit or miss. The dining room was a much better option. The Mediterranean food in the Solarium on Ovation was quite good. Virgin and Celebrity are on our Radar for the future.

[@AronRoss72]

@@Equinox051256 thanks...good to know

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Good assessment of everything and I am biased but glad Freedom was your top pick! I hear you on changing it up some. I think that is healthy these days and I am doing the same thing. Food is very inconsistent right now in Windjammer.

[@maravonda]

Thanks for this! We will be on her in July out of Baltimore next year. She doesn't look much different from Enchantment, which is not a bad thing!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Not at all!! Enchantment used to do the weekend cruises back in the day! Me and her have some good memories!

How u stay so slim fit going to cruises so much?

It certainly takes effort! This trip has not been kind in that department but once back in the US, will get it squared away. When cruising often, have to reprioritize your food and behaviors on the ship. Some cruises I do better than others but overall, I don't do bad.

Seems like it's exactly like Grandeur... Vision is now coming to Baltimore, looking forward. The Solarium I see, ceiling opens up (which neither the Grandeur nor the Enchantment did. And the Diamond Club is in a totally different place (I'm D+) Enchantment has/had "Boleros" which for me is/was a perfect venue.... oh well (I live 45min. from "door to door")

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Baltimore is definitely getting an upgrade though. It is very similar to Grandeur but I feel like she has aged better.

[@eumesmo_tonhao]

love this ship missing her

[@lysrothman]

We usually sail on the smaller ships (grandeur/enchantment) because not many can fit out of Baltimore (closest port to us). We’ll be on vision in October & radiance to Alaska in 24’. The biggest I’ve been on was Adventure out of New Jersey, which has been my favorite so far. I really want to try wonder just to say I’ve tried one of the newer, mega ships. I’m just worried I’ll hate it because i don’t like needing reservations & waiting in line lol smaller ships you can just show up if you decide last minute. Any ship you’ve been on that would not be considered “old/outdated,” but not mega?

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

You are speaking my language! I am not a big ship person either and LOVE my smaller ones and all their character. Honestly, your best bet will be trying out Freedom of the Seas. It is my home ship and my favorite ship. It has recently updated, has bells and whistles, and is the "goldy locks" size for me. The next biggest would be Quantum but I would start with Freedom as it is an amazing ship.

[@lysrothman]

@@TheWeekendCruiser okay, great! I’d love to try an in between ship. Does it have a good size diamond lounge? We find when we cruise in the winter the lounge is always packed because older people/frequent cruisers are more common in the winter months. We like our free drinks!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

@@lysrothman Freedom is doing weekends and 4-night midweek sailings at the moment out of Miami. Meaning, there will be a lot fewer Diamond and higher. The Diamond Lounge is also on Deck 14 with amazing views!

I will be on the October sailing from Baltimore as well!

[@dianawiggins3791]

We also live in Baltimore and look forward to sailing on Vision in 2025. We are trying the Oasis and Symphony of the Seas out of NJ to try the biggest ships without having to book a flight. We did Anthem March 2020 and loved it.

[@eji9617]

We took our very first cruise on Vision just recently. Although it was...relaxing...the price gouging was DISGUSTING and RAMPANT!! $5 for small Hersheys bar, $5 for can of coke, $7 can of beer, $10 mixed drink - rum and coke, $15 cocktail. $120 PER PERSON ride to beach, $170 PER PERSON to ride water slides on Coco Cay. It will be a LONG TIME before we do another cruise with RC.

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

I hear you on that! They are certainly pressing their luck with a lot of us and their pricing strategy these days!

[@Tee55118]

Welcome to inflation. Actually, in Washington DC, cocktails now cost $18-25. $15 is cheap for me, and I'll still add on a couple dollars tip to insure prompt service from the crew.

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! It does not have a Promenade which is the 3 story hallway with shops and restaurants on larger ships. However, it does have a Latte-tudes Café (see what they did there) which will offer the same beverages as a Promenade Café. When this ship was built in 1997, flow riders did not exist and she will not have a flow rider. It will also feature singer's and dancers. Hope this helps!

[@lloydmarchand7035]

Love this video. We may be sailing on her from Baltimore in the fall. That outdoor starboard-side secret area on deck 9 outside the Vitality Spa. There appears to be something similar on the port side. Both look like they can be accessed from deck 10. Correct?

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Hey Lloyd, if I am no mistaken, it is only on the Starboard side but would make sense it is on both sides. It is accessible via stairs from the walking track above. Most ships have turned this section into a storage closet, so I am glad they have maintained it as it is a great spot to hide away.

Hey Jennifer, I am not a travel agent and doubt Vision of the Seas has any solo cabins. If it does, there will be a limited number and you need to book those well in advance. Keep your eyes open but more than likely will need to pay the double occupancy. Christmas is also the most expensive week you can cruise :-(

[@Loganm0213]

So for casual dining - grabbing snacks and what not during the day - are the only options The Windjammer and cafe?

That is correct. The smaller ships have limited options. Only other option is room service for a charge.

Hey there! It is going to depend on the arrangement of the rooms you booked. You can go to www.cruisedeckplans.com/ to see your specific room and love this website! The bed in the middle of the room can be divided into 2 twin beds. From there, it will be a couch that converts into a bed for two people, or 2 twin beds that lower down from the ceiling. I would split the two beds and have 3 people in each room. Hope this helps!

[@TheWeekendCruiser]

Hey Patrick, I believe this is a "depends" answer. In the US, if the Viking Crown Lounge has turned into a club it will be 21+ if you sail from an American port 18+ if you sail from any other port in the world. They do setup a security station to scan sea-pass cards when entering a night club environment on the ships to verify age.
