Vision of the seas - January 6th 2024 - 13 night Southern Caribbean

I'm hearing rumors that Royal Caribbean has removed freestyle machines from some ships, particularly Vision of the seas. Can anyone verify this?

I could be wrong, but I don't think Vision ever had Freestyle Coke machines.

Liberty and Vision I believe are the only two ships that never had freestyle machines.

The rumors you heard would be very false in this case because the ship never had them. Also I haven't heard of them removing freestyle machines until you made this post.

Didn't see any freestyle machines on Vision last week.

What did you think of Vision ?  We’ve never been on her but have a 10 night trip in April.  We’ve been on Grandeur many times and assume it is a very similar experience.

We loved it. While on the ship we agreed that the smaller ships are the way to go for us. Service was excellent everywhere, no queues for MTD, could always get a lounger around the pool and very few children. It didn't feel crowded despite being virtually full. We compared it to our previous sailings on Anthem and agreed the Schooner bar and Windjammer on Anthem just aren't big enough for the number of passengers. As it's just the 2 of us now no need for bumper cars or flowriders, just looking for friendly good service. Ship was in good condition considering her age, carpets and furnishings all looked good, bit of rust here and there but nothing that spoilt the cruise. Cruise director (Mey) and her team worked hard and kept us entertained.

My only one niggle was the DJ was too loud during sailaway, but that's probably because I'm getting old

DH and I did a 9 (or 10?) night southern caribbean cruise last year on Vision and really loved the ship. We had a great cruise (but we always do!) and thought the staff and service were great. Have a wonderful time!
