Review summary

We really enjoyed the cruise. We still have a lot to see of the Vista. Time flies by when you start visiting each port. We have plans to be back on her in the Havana cabins. It was a blast! Since hurricane season was not nice to any of us, our ports of call was Amber Cove, DR, LaRomona,DR, Aruba and Curucua. When we left home we were under a tropical storm watch and flew into Miami under a hurricane watch back at home. My family back at home was on my mind heavily when we set sail. I worked for ALDOT for 25 yrs and I know way too much about hurricanes. I've spent many days and nights on call with cat 4 and 5's, they're not fun by any means. Very frightful. I say all of this because the storm came in on my family but it was a cat 2 in MS and cat 1 when it reached the shores of AL. With all of that said, my prayers go out to the family and people on the islands that were devastated by the hurricanes. Most of all, Puerto Rico. God Bless them in this critical time. 🙏🏻♥️ Carnival, we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise! Schwartz also was another favorite of ours. He was great!

Excellent, everything or every time we needed something we received it. We never had to wait. Service and staff were very prompt.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love the ship's design. Very clean. The only area I found unclean was the ladies restroom outside the dining room (anytime dining). It seemed to be more the passengers uncleanliness than anything. Females can be so disrespectful of other people and of themselves.

Traveler Photos

We did the tour for the brewery and it was excellent.  The guide was very informative and nice.  He was a great person to just talk with and kid around with.  Excellent tour!  I would do it again.....great beer!!!  Hats off to you! ❤️ Pool side enjoying some sun and 🍹 Always a fun animal in the cabin....we try to collect them and place them in our window but our buys on our ports took up too much room.... so we had to down size them.  I love them......they are so sweet and cute!  ❤️ Goodies from the chef for doing the Tour Behind the Fun!   Wonderful and everyone should do this and then maybe people would be more patient and less disrespectful.   Carnival crew staff members work really hard and it shows.  They have my respect!   😊 80's rock n glow party Lighthouse in Aruba Beautiful sunset Night life at Aruba from our balcony Our course since the hurricanes detoured our ports Sail away party
