Review summary

The ship is beautiful.  And there is so much to do and see on the ship . From our room steward, casino staff  , and dining waiters: the  service  was exceptional. The outdoor nightly Dive-In Movies were great! On the bad side the Dining seating and daily dining room table request was ridiculous. As a Platinum Guest we were to have priority seating. To our surprise were assigned "anytime dining" and had to wait in line to get a table number then get in line to get seated. It wasn't until the 8th day of the cruise that we were assigned our table for 2 we requested almost 1 year ago. The food was fine but lacked the expectations of what a past guest has come to expect with carnival. Very boring menu.     As to whether or not we will cruise on the Vista again. Without Traditional Dining and our private table for 2 each night I doubt we will.
