Have you ever wondered what it's like to stay in a one-of-a-kind suite that costs as much as a used car?

I spent 5 nights onboard one of Royal Caribbean’s oldest cruise ships
After spending 5 nights onboard Vision of the Seas, Elizabeth discovered a level of intimacy that the larger ships lack.
Vision Class ships don't have as much to do as the newer, bigger ships, but they offer some of the lowest prices you'll find on a cruise today.
