Review summary

I feel that the ship and it's staff are number one at what they do and they all deserve a huge "Thank you!" I am sure my family and friends will be back for another relaxing vacation and enjoy the services that this crew does with such professionalism!! Well oiled ship for sure and any doubts I had about cruising have been banished from my thoughts! Cruising Rocks with Vista!!

Main dining room was amazing! The staff were even more amazing! Thanks to our table 151 staff Jefferson, Lakasdiwa and Reginald. So courteous and professional.

Onboard Activities

Hot tubs on the serenity deck! Sky ride was a blast! Playing bingo and trivia pursuit were a lot of fun and engaged all cruisers to have fun together!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
DJ Flip was great! Also the steel drum player was wonderful...filled rooms with sweetness to our ears! Also the 80's show was spectacular! BY far my favorite was the Military Gathering.....wow how emotional was that!!!!!!Thanks to Matt cruise director for caring sooooo much...it was heartfelt!

Ports of call

No excursion, nothing to say about this port.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

La Romana, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Okay port lots of little stands set up to shop. Excursion of Zip lining went great but the transportation to and from port was terrible. The bus we were on was not able to make it up the hills and we had to get off the bus and walk up the hill. Also we were unable to get our photos or use the bathroom after a 2 hour zip lining.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Gorgeous buildings and architecture to view along with shopping galore!!!

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Next favorite spot for an excursion...went scuba diving for first time ever!!! Greatest ever!! Theses guys know what they are doing...felt very comfortable with them! Port has a lot of shopping to be done!!!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Unfortunately the day we disembarked was the day that the government closed down and one of the ships gangways was broken so it was kind of crazy and long. Although the staff did their best at organizing everyone I feel if the cruisers would have followed directions a little better it would have been better! They did their best and I commend them for all their efforts to get us off safe and hastily!
