Review summary

This was a brand new cruise ship, but it still had a lot of kinks to work out.  The wait staff in the Horizons dinning room was AMAZING.  Olie and his crew worked their butts off and knew everyone by name after the first few minutes.  My wife is gluten-free and they catered to her each and every meal.  The entertainment was ok, but could be much better.  It seemed like most of the activities were geared towards the kids, which is fine, but the adults are the ones that need the vacation. :)

If you have a chance to go on the Vista before October, make sure you check out the piano bar with Elizabeth.  She is amazing and will leave you in stitches by the end of the night.

Overall, minus the fact that we were unable to dock in Curacao due to Tropical Storm Brett, this was a good experience.
