Review summary

It wasn't a good cruise for New Year's. Not a big bash we didn't even get hats in our rooms for everyone. We had to ask several times. Won't cruise Vista again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had ftf which made it very quick!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food tasted cheap. Anything with a tomato base tastes like chef boy r d spaghettio's. It was not as good as Breeze.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Pools were way too busy to get a seat unless you left your personal belongings on them day after day, which is what people did.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were awesome. We saw musical shows and imax theatre.

Children's Programs

Don't have children

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Our steward Nino was ok. Nothing was great about our staff and steward. Our balcony room was not very clean when we arrived and we didn't get a towel animal first night. Waiters were better after about 3rd day of cruise. They weren't very personable like Breeze ship. That was one of my highlights from my last cruise on the Breeze. Disappointed.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
If you had to sit around a pole in the areas where a show was performed you couldn't see anything. We left 2 shows because of this.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Not clean, comfort was ok.

Ship tip

Would not pick Vista again. Definitely not as good as Breeze.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Tour and fast of San Juan. Enjoyed Pam our tour guide.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

3 out of 5
We rented buggies. They did not have enough buggies for us and we thought we were all going at the same time. It was ok.

Grand Turk Island

2 out of 5
We rented golf carts from Karib Rentals. Carts consistently broke down and we had to leave one behind. We could not call our tour official because phones were not working. We spent more time trying to get carts running then touring the streets of grand Turk. Again, disappointing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fine
