Review summary
This was my first time on a long cruise (8 days) and on the Vista, I wasn't sure what I was getting into. At first I liked the ship, but once I got the lay of the land and figured my way around and explored I figured out it's layed out really bad. The casino is right in the middle of the ship, which you have to walk/run through to get to the Sports Bar or the Limelight lounge. Even if you speed walk through there you still smell like a stale ashtray by the time you get to the other side. The atrium was small and only went up 3 decks. The fixture that changes landscapes every day was amazing, just wish the atrium was bigger. The ship has an Imax theater, personally I don't cruise to go watch movies that are currently out in theaters back home, I'm there to enjoy the ocean. I think it was a waste of space, they could have put the dance club or even the show theater in that spot. Show times are a little off, if you do late dinning you miss majority of the shows or have to do a show before dinner.
