Review summary

So we planned a year ina svante to be a part of the Carnival Vista inauguration voyage thinking that this ship would be the turn of something new and unexpected from Carnival. We were disappointed from beginning to end with the cruise experience as there was no true new experience to the Bista. The only NEW attractions are the sky zone,the IMAX theaters and the seafood shack however those experiences were not included in the carnival package and required extra funds. I think the most disappointing aspect of the Vista was the food options....the exact same as all the other ships the same formal dinning menu every night the same lido deck options and the same 24/7 pizza and sandwiches. Our cruise director Matt was amazing and hot and the twist of Ms. Cookie made the mundane activities bearable. My suggestion is brainstorm on better food options we are on the boat more than we are on the ports don'tsbort the guests with boring pallet options.

Cloud 9 spa room was basic balcony with the only perk of using the spa facilities only during open times (I thought we would at least have 24hr access) and slippers...we had to pay for added benefits which I guess is appropriate but I paid extra for the room so it was frustrating to say the least
