  1. Vision was built long before they started offering suite amenities like CK. If you want that experience on Royal, you have to book a ship that has those amenities, as in were built for them. I don't get it when people have expectations without doing research. MDR is the same across the fleet. We're on Vision for a b2b in 2.5 weeks in a JS. We've been on GR 7 times, EN 7 times and Vision once before (all the same class) out of Baltimore. We personally love the class.
  2. I was just going to post the same thing. Amazon uses statements like that as a marketing tool. "Cruise approved" is another one that is used which also doesn't exist except in the seller's mind.
  3. That is a pet peeve of mine. I'll get up and walk over and stand directly under a speaker so I can hear it. These are the same people who are surprised by the weather, waves or an itinerary change. Why can't they just shut up for 2 minutes?
  4. We've had ships late leaving because of not enough long shoremen to load provisions and luggage. Other reasons could be congestion in the port or a medical delay.
  5. Formal? I thought it was listed as the same as the dress code for the day. Boarding day, it's always casual.
  6. Yes. Basically anything will work lol. Anything credit card sized, even a folded piece of paper. As I said previously we've had stewards provide cards and never had to worry about it.
  7. It's basically a beach day. We've been there a couple of times. We've done beach and pool. Funny thing. Our first time there (Carnival cruise) the pool was busy until it rained. People left and we got great seats there for the afternoon. It was a typical tropical downpour that was over quickly. We've done beaches several times where it rained for a bit and people ran lol. It is just a relaxing day at the pool or beach. It's not meant for a lot of people. Both times we were there, we were the only ship.
  8. They probably will, but only so far. They're probably not going to cancel 6 mos to a year out so just take the info as it comes.
  9. Haven't seen anything specific. Probably just routine maintenance as well as carpet, paint and upholstery. No plans I've ever seen to do more. Nothing new being added.
  10. 20 April. We are doing a b2b 4-20 Apr. Originally we booked 12 Apr and 20 April for a 20 night b2b but the 20 Apr was cancelled for the drydock.
  11. That's not what you said. You said they "must" stop there at least once during a cruise.
  12. With a relook so I highly doubt in 7 days anything will happen that will change the current status.
  13. Just an FYI for anyone looking for info as this thread is over a year old. We've been to Charleston several times and never taken a ship's tour. We've done our own walking one on one trip. We also walked over to the Ft Sumter ferry and bought tickets and went on the first ferry of the day which means we were there for the flag raising. We're stopping in Charleston again in April (2024) and plan to walk to the aquarium and tour it. We've also done the market a couple of times and we always eat somewhere in town in one of the many good restaurants there.
  14. We love the Vision class. We've been on EN 7 times and GR 7 times and Vision once. We're on Vision again for a 16 night b2b on 4 Apr. We love the smaller ships and the intimacy. You see the same crew and cruisers more often. We also love going out of Baltimore as we live in No VA so a easy drive up morning of. She is going into Dry Dock in a few weeks.
