Review summary

This was an amazing cruise. We visited six countries. The ship has so much to do that you could spend a week on it do everything. The kids on our trip were constantly entertained, and the adults had fun or relaxed. With this cruise, we only had one day at sea, and we all wished we'd had one more day at sea, even if that meant making it an 11-night cruise. We just wanted one more day toward the end to relax. The staterooms were amazing -- such a big difference from my last cruise 16 years ago.

AMAZING. Just the right amount of room. We loved the bathroom because it had two sinks and a bathtub with shower. PLEASE NOTE: Our room number was 7326 in an ocean side suite room with a very nice private balcony. We upgraded from our original cabin, which was supposed to be on the 11th deck.

Ship tip

This ship has all the technology I'd want in a ship. The Hub App made it easy to get around the ship (the maps) and for the most part the chat app works. However, we had a lot of messages that did not get sent or received. That led to some confusion. Other than that, there's so much to do on Vista!

My sister-in-law's purse was stolen here. Apparently, it's common in Barcelona so watch your purses and leave your passports in your hotel safe.

To Jersey425 -- this is NOT the room we stayed in on the ship. I did not come back later and fix this. We upgraded at the last minute when there was a price drop. We were going to be in the 11250 room, which does not have the double sink. Those bathrooms are quite small and do not have tubs. My sister-in-laws both had rooms like that that connected to each other.

 

I was on the 7th deck in 7326, ocean side, in a suite. I'll try to go in and change that. Sorry for the confusion, and good eye!

Planning on booking a cruise on Vista and trying to decide between 2 different rooms on deck 11. You mentioned that room 11250 has double sink and tub in bathroom but it doesn't list that on the website. Are you sure that is the right room number cause it only lists as having a shower and single sink - this would definitely make the difference in which room we choose. Please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks so very much!

I agree! One more sea day would have been awesome.
