Review summary

Can't wait for our next cruise, this was our very first cruise and we loved it!! We will start saving for our next voyage, we love summer so will stick to the island cruises. Would really like an opportunity to cruise on the Vista. We are South Africans and will advertise your cruises wherever we travel. Thanks to all the staff for all their hard work

Very nice to hear you enjoyed your first cruise! Texans are known for our hospitality. My first cruise last year was on the Freedom and she left great impression. I'm boarding The Breeze in a few weeks and cannot wait.
