Review summary
Vista cruise started out bad. We were given an 11:30 boarding time and did not get on the ship till 2:00 P.M. because of disorganization. The atrium with new décor was a big disappointment. The Liquid Lounge seating was awful. There were no signs indicating where the restrooms were and there were no clocks in pool area and other prominent gathering spots.
That was all the bad features. Food was very good. Room steward was good. The juggler entertainment was excellent. Entertainers were fine, but music was not to our liking.

Ship tip
Bring a watch and get a room in the middle of the ship because of the size of the ship. Lot of walking involved.

We learned last week that fleet-wide, no one will be allowed to board until 1:00pm, even with perks. FTTF, Diamond, and Platinum will board first, then assisted passengers (wheelchairs, etc.). We used to get on by 11am if we got to port early, but no longer. Early boarding kept the crew from completing duties like cleaning up after breakfast and having cabins ready. There are also tougher inspections now, it seems, that have to be passed while the ship is empty. Makes sense, and I can wait until they are ready for me to have fun! On my way to Diamond!!
