Review summary

I had sailed on the Vista in February and had a wonderful time so I was super excited to take my daughter and family back. Well I got a huge disappointment!!!!!!!!!!! So many cut backs, lack luster food options ( unless you want to pay for the up charge) very limited pool music, unsupervised children running all over the ship and water park, unsupervised kids screaming in the pool during "Movie under the stars". Men smoking cigars wherever they wanted. Just all around RUDE people. So sad

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was ok. not many supper choices unless you wanted to pay for a fancy restaurant. There was only one line for supper buffet and not much for kids. Green eggs and Ham breakfast was WONDERFUL!!!!

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

water park was ok, but so many parents did not supervise there kids so we left. one child who was 10 urinated off a step and thought nothing of it.. we went and got a worker to let him know.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

music was nonexistent by the pool. Movie under the stars was un enjoyable because there were unsupervised kids in the pool. Didn't go to any shows as we had seen them all before.

Children's Programs
