Review summary
This ship is by far the nicest ship in the Carnival fleet and I have been on many. The design, choice of colors, the decor, various restaurants for any dining preference, the thrill theater and Carnival can boast of an iMax movie theater aboard the ship.
The continual problem that I had with the Carnival Vista was the anytime dining. The entire concept needs to be revamped, it's a nightmare or may I should say depending on the size of your party...our party was 10.The lines are entirely too long and the dining service is hectic because you have a different server every night. Ultimately, delivering very slow to poor service...The food was great and the selections were great...the service side needs to step up the game or Carnival needs to work out a system to make it more efficient.

OMG...You have got to try the Seafood Shack...It's amazing...you do have to pay for that...but remember YOLO...go for it. Fresh red snapper fried to perfection, tempura shrimp...the food was amazing...that's a winner..
