Review summary
The cruise itself was amazing and the Vista is a beautiful ship but there were way too many unsupervised children running wild on the ship.
There did not seem to be any adult supervision on the majority of the children. I saw unattended children in the pool and hot tubs, at the restaurants with no adults, running up and down the hallways, playing in the elevators etc. It sounded like a heard of elephants were in the room above mine.
The Vista has some design flaws. The Liquid lounge has too many obstacles for viewing the stage performances. I sat down in the third row on stage left and could barely see over the seat in front of me. We moved 2 rows up and the seats sat higher. Some parts of the ship were decorated and other hallways were stark white and very boring. The new check in was the quickest we ever got on the ship. The same for getting off the ship.
I still enjoyed my cruise who wouldn't but Carnival needs to come up with a different plan when there are 1700 children 17 and under running the ship.

Ship tip
Be prepared to walk long distances to events if your cabin is forward. Everything happens in the aft. Also check the school schedules and don't sail during holidays unless you have children
