Review summary

Loved everything about this cruise! Places were beautiful and fun. The ship was amazing, fun, so much to do. The cruise director was awesome & the shows/entertainment as well. Dinner in MDR was fabulous. I wasn't really a fan of the bufffet food. The restaurants were really good. Staff om ship was awesome too. I would definitely recommend carnival to everyone and definitely the vista in particular. I think every ship needs a Matt Mitcham. He definitely brought a lot of fun to our sailing.

It was nice and always clean. Could use an outlet on bed stand. Or actually a usb plug bcuz the only thing that sucked was the outlet didnt work unless the light was on in the room!

Ship tip

The shows are great. Do as much as possible. All the entertainment is good. Sail away party is a must! The ship is big!....we didn't even see the whole thing. The bars are nice but can be busy at times. There is a bar at the back of the boat on 10 that isn't usually busy especially at night.

It woulda been nice if we stayed right in port and did Margaritaville but some guy talked some people in our group into going to some beach. It definitely wasnt worth it and it sucked. I would have stayed right at margaritaville. Did not like the people hassling us. This was the port that was the worst for it.

Loved it. We did dolphin encounter a d sea turtle farm. We were rushed through the turtle farm which sucked but we absolutely loved the dolphin encounter. Highly recommended!! Definitely take lots of money if you want pictures!(They aren't cheap). We wished we woulda had time to do the beach too bcuz this port had the bluest water! It was absolutely beautiful!!

Favorite thing to do was Mr. Sanchos!! This was my favorite port becuz of the resort. It was beautiful, fun, and only $55 for all inclusive package which gave us unlimited food and drinks. There were 2 pools and you could lounge on the beach. We did fish pedicures while there and atv riding which was extra cost. We also did tequila tasting which was free.
