Our four-night Western Caribbean cruise to Cozumel aboard the beautiful
Vision of the Seas began with a cross-country flight from California and a
two-night stay in Ft. Lauderdale.
We flew on Jet Blue from LAX to FLL (love that leg
room). We landed in Florida right
in the middle of a huge storm!
After getting our bags we took a cab to our hotel, Il Lugano. I booked this place after reading great
reviews about it. The stay was not
so great for us. We were given a
room right next to the most inconsiderate and loud “guests” ever. We were kept awake from 2:00 a.m. to
6:00 a.m. the first night with
yelling and screaming and music blasting next door! I called down to the desk twice before the noise stopped and
we were able to get some sleep. I
would not recommend this hotel.
The walls are thin; noise travels between rooms and if you value sleep
this place is not for you.
The morning of our cruise we checked out of the hotel and
headed over to the port about 11:00 a.m.
When we arrived we gave our bags to a porter and we were off to check
in. The check in process was quick
and painless and we were on the ship in about fifteen minutes.
The vision of the Seas is a beautiful ship! I was last on her a few years ago
before her make over. I think she
looks better than ever! Everything
is modern and new. We got our
first drink in the R Bar and we were in full vacation mode! We purchased the top tier drink package
for this cruise and it was great!
We always had great drink service.
The food and service on the Vision were outstanding with
only a few exceptions. We had
dinner in both Chops and G’s Table and had delicious meals. The service in the main dining room was
great as well. The only issue with
food on the Vision was that it was sometimes hard to get. If we wanted a snack at times it seemed
as if there were not many options available to passengers. The pool buffet had limited hours, as
did the Park Café. I wish there
was a true 24-hour dinning option on this ship. We did order room service a few times and each time our
order was late and the food was cold when it arrived.
During our time ashore I booked a beach day at Nachi and we
had a blast! We could not have
asked for a better day, great weather, a great beach and great service.
Back on board the shows and activities kept us entertained
while at sea. I loved that this cruise
had two sea days! We enjoyed
sitting out on our balcony watching the blue ocean! Our cabin was great with one exception. The bed was very uncomfortable! It was both too firm and uneven. My back could have used a better
bed. Our room attendant was
outstanding! We asked him for both
ice and shampoo at the start and we were fully stocked all cruise.
We had a great time on our short Vision cruise! We were sad to leave her at the
end. When we got back to Ft.
Lauderdale we had breakfast and were off the ship by 10:00 a.m. Then it was off to an airport hotel for our last two days of vacation! It was a great trip! When is my next cruise?
