Review summary

This has been my 6th cruise, 4 with other lines.

Vista ship is beautiful!

My room attendant, Ernesto was great, best i have had thus far. The diner staff Jose and Rinyaphi were very friendly and we never wanted for anything. We had a Havana suite and Jens at the Havana bar was friendly and made the best Cuban Ice Tea. Unfortunately it seemed as if the rest of the bartending staf forgot how to check on people not sitting right at the bar. Truthfully it wasn't until day 7 of an 8 day cruise that anyone asked me if I wanted a drink while relaxing poolside.

Overall 9.9 out of 10 maybe somemore bar staff and additional training.

And just to restate the boat is BEAUTIFUL!

Loved it. I have nothing else to say, it was big, Beautiful, and clean.

Ship tip

Book a Havana suite, it is close to everything for a couple and you have a private pool area most of the day for Havana suite guests only, it was never crowded.

We'll be in a Havana aft balcony in August. would you say that the bar service by the Havana pool is sub-par or adequate? That's the only pool we'll use while on the boat?

There is a lounge chair and it does move. There is also a short chair with a footrest that is also movable.

Question: Are the two lounge chairs movable on the patio? I know the swing obviously isn't, but it seems like every time I see the Havana Cabanas displayed in photographs they seem to always be in that position you have posted in your picture. Just looking forward to my husband and I sitting next to one another. Thanks!
