Review summary

We chose the Carnival Vista as it was the only new ship sailing the week we could go. My husband and I have been on many cruises, but had not been on one of the new mega ships. The ship is new, clean, but no wow factor. I think if you are traveling with kids you will enjoy the ship more.

The food was good and we did the all inclusive drink package which was worth it for us. I agree with many of the other comments that the Liquid Lounge is terrible, so many seats where you can't see.

The best thing was our room was on floor 14 FWD and the adults only was right above us on 15. Spent most of our ship time there.

We had a spa balcony cabin, definitely not worth the upgrade. Had we booked earlier I would definitely reserve a Havana balcony. These rooms have their own pool.
