I'm debating going on a June cruise aboard Vision of the Seas. As someone who has only gone on the larger boats (Ovation, Allure, Oasis, etc). - I'm wondering how difference the experience will be and wondering what folks experiences have been? I expect that the dining room and the overall look and feel would be similar but is the smaller boat and fewer amenities something that is very, very stark to folks? It's a 9 night cruise and I have a family of 5 (me, wife and three kids). Just wondering if the kids will be expecting something and it will be dramatically different than what they expect.

My December 2023 cruise out of Orlando went up $75. I was pricing out a cruise for June of 2023 as well and was stunned at the prices. I think Royal will have a hard time sustaining these prices if the economy has a downturn. I think the pricing will adjust. If you are willing to pay the current rate, I would book and then closely monitor the rates before you cruise. The Black Friday cruise fare sale is basically non-existent. It is a sale only on Cruise Planner items.

I have yet to get in.

You can opt-in to the emails if you would like. You probably opted out at some point.

As a dad of a 15, 13 and 10 year old who have cruised for a long time - I can't fathom the idea that you allow kids at a certain age (11?) to just run around the ship. I'm ok with my two oldest doing it now but they are older than 11 and they have been on a ton of ships.

Disappointed in the details here. I was hoping for a better sale as the Black Friday Cyber sale is usually when I book and usually can rely on a great price. I can't believe some of the prices currently.
