Review summary

Thus was our 3rd Carnival Cruise, was on the Breeze twice for the Eastern Caribbean, I was reading all the reviews on the Vista prior to our departure in mid Feb. The reviews where all over the scale, from poor to excellent. 

 

From my my own personal experience and being a past Carnival Cruiser, this new ship is fantastic. Travelled with my 8 year old granddaughter who loved the various activities, such as water park, water slides, rope course, sky ride and the shows.

 

Food was good, had early dinning and this gave us time for the various shows or the "dive in movies" Our head waiter was Piotr and he provided great service along with his team. Michael and his team kept rooms nice and clean, even made a few special request with the towel animals.

 

The Pixcel Gallery has done digital and this makes finding you own photos much easier. Having access to the photos in you own stateroom tv is a nice touch, allowing you to review them at your own leasure.

 

We had all our embarkation details completed online de boarding the ship was very smooth and quick, much quicker than previous cruises. Leaving the ship at the end of the cruise was also quick and efficient.

 

Would highly recommend the Carnival Vista to anyone looking for a great cruising experience

We like having a balcony for our cruises. Great for viewing when arriving and departing from the ports.

Thank you for your review.  We have a long 266 days until we board the Vista, but you made more excited than I was.
