We travel to Miami and order to sale on the Vista we are going on the horizon from Barcelona in April hoping some of the things are a little different on that ship. We love the carnival atmosphere and look forward to many more cruises
Embarkation

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Having been on several other cruises we found the wait in the dining room longer than usual. First two nights we were put in a back partitioned dining area with a large group from the same tour they were quite loud and moving around from table to table like a wedding after the second night we asked to be moved. Also were disappointed with the food available after the buffet closed at 10 we were late getting back from an Excursion missed our dining time and by the time we're ready to eat everything was closed except Pizza. Guys Burgers did not have enough hours
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
More than enough activities to enjoy Schwartz the cruise director was phenomenal unlimited energy and great interaction with fellow Cruisers
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We were in awe of this Entertainment Group all shows were fantastic and above-board
Children's Programs
no children with us this time
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Cabin Steward was friendly but did nothing out of the ordinary for us. Maitre d very accommodating when we asked to switch dining rooms however we waited longer than usual between each course
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship Divine Design and layout was fine we missed the glass elevators and thought the public areas such as the main atrium and the theater area were smaller than some ships.. we missed the lounge couches with tables for drinks
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Enjoyed our cabin very much however would have preferred Ocean View on a higher deck. Seems like balconies took over
Ship tip
Get to know elevator locations in reference to your room or cabin. Be conscious of closing times of restaurants
Trip to Passion Island was okay but the beach walk two food and lounge chairs was very strenuous we were disappointed in the beach as it was murky and full of seaweed no crystal clear water like where we.
Thank you for your review. I will be cruising on the Vista next year. I am a frequent cruiser with Royal and this will be my first experience on Carnival.
