Review summary

Not Impressed with Carnival Vista! I rather try other ships beside this one! Would love to see what the Breeze has to offer! But anyway the cruise director is who made the Vista! He was a blast!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Moved quickly! Only complaint is that you had to show boarding pass & passport about 10 times to Carnival people before entering the ship!!šŸ˜ šŸ˜ 

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Breakfast buffet was good. Had a good variety of items to choose from. Dinner is usuallythe highlight of the ship but this time it was just ok. Not impressed with selections & taste. Needed more seasoning. Also not a good selection on rare entrees & if you did get it, it was barely enough to taste like the rabbit.

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Usually on a Carnival Cruise you get top service and the people are friendly and smiling even when they don't want to be they are! But on this cruise we had quite a few rude employees of Carnival. Some of them you just spoke to and they look at you like you were crazy and didn't want to speak back. But Hamir was great with cleaning our room and always smiling & greeting! Also Zaldy, Amara and Agus was great in the dining room!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship was clean for most part of it. The bathrooms sometimes needed some work & the elevators sometimes had fluids on the floor. The ship layout was ok but definitely disappointed in the Spa. I have definitely had better on past carnival ships & was expecting more or even better because this is a new ship. Jacuzzi too small & nit enough hot stone chairs to lay in. Needs to be bigger like the Carnival Dream

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I wish they wiuld make inside cabins a little bigger especially closet & bathroom

Ship tip

You will love cruise director & activities

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Love Jamaica and loved the Bobsled

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Love how beautiful the island is and loved the bar hopping excursion! Worth the money!! But Cayman is definitely expensive over there

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
It was ok. No deals really on liquor. It's about the same price on ship

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We got off super earlier than we expected

@NancyS thanks. I'm going to have to Google this Thrill Theater.

The Thrill Theater was $5.50 and I think the IMAX was $9.50. Someone correct me if Iā€™m wrong. Hubby and I went to the IMAX and it was right at $20 for the two of us.

Loved the Breeze husbands favorite ship so far. Mine is the Magic. Going on Vista in December so thanks for the review. Food for thought.

I agree. I wasn't impressed with the Vista.

I've done both add ships and would say the breeze is better and would do it again. But the IMAX theater on the Vista was pretty cool. Got to see Wonder Woman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Mummy all in one cruise.
