Review summary

Overall Vista is a great ship with nice ship specific touches. However, because there are more things everywhere you look, the things you are used to seem smaller. Such as the main show lounge, comedy club, and casino.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Arrived on time, had to wait for a while but less than 1 hour.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Great food this time around. Dining room food was hot and fresh every night. Buffet was clean and pleniful.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Great Havana and serenity areas and pools. Good sized arcade, casino, and decks.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Had excellent waiters in every area. Steward was average at best but not bad enough to complain.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Ship was clean and beautiful. However, all the spaces felt smaller. The atrium felt claustrophobic without the high ceilings. One of the smallest comedy club areas on any ship I've been on. They cramped a lot on to this ship, but at the expense of having enough space for it all.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Great interior cabin except that it was directly behind the teen club. So on nights they had loud music you could feel it vibrating your bed.
