Vista is everything you think it will be! Incredible ship.....everything about it. Excellent cruise director, Matt! "Can I get two claps!" .....with a British accent!
Excellent Assistant manager at the spa. No words! Professional, personable...loves his job!! Said goodbye, gave me a hug on my last day!
Book the Havana Cabana....you will NOT be sorry!

Carnival has a new system of assigning Arrival Appointment Times...it works fabulous! I waliked thru a nearly vacant boarding line. In about 10 minutes, was on the ship with my Havana Cabana cabin READY!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
I loved the Italian Cucina Del Capitino restaurant! Note to the savy traveler: this is a "specialty restaurant" for dinner FREE for lunch beginning at 12:00! Delicious! Same for JJ's Asian Cuisine! Both on Deck 12 across from each other.
Market Place buffet.....packed. Good for quick lunch....service great, lines somewhat long.
Cucina Del Capitano

Excellent food! Choose your pasta menu at lunch! Price included in your cruise for lunch menu. Excellent ambiance, black and white photos of Carnival Captains and fleet....beautiful restaurant! One of my favorite places on the ship.

NO WORDS!

Ship tip
Upgrade....book cabin in Havana area! You will NOT be sorry!
Excellent! Easy....did carryon luggage.....walked off ship. Entire process about 10 minutes!!
Two negatives:
1. A cabin steward KNOCKS on your door at 7:00 am! I was so asleep I fell out of bed to answer door! Before I answered door, he said "Time to wake up!" Swear.
2. Walked pass Matt (Cruise Director) very charming throughout cruise, said "goodbye Matt!" ....was two feet away. He looked over me.....continued to talk on walkie talkie.....said "bye"...half acknowledging me. 😤
