I DID NOT LIKE THE LAYOUT OF THE VISTA. I THOUGHT DECK 5 WAS FOR WALKING AROUND THE WHOLE SHIP, HOWEVER IT WAS CLOSED OFF AT THE "HAVANA CLUB" WHICH WE DID NOT LIKE. PLUS IN CLOSING IT OFF FOR "PRIVATE PARTY" IT TOOK AWAY A POOL AND HOT TUB TO THE GENERAL PASSENGERS, LEAVING ONLY TWO POOLS AND HOT TUBS FOR PASSENGERS WITH KIDS. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR 4800 PASSENGERS. . . . ESPECIALLY WHEN THE POOL/POOLS WERE CLOSED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE SOME DRUNKEN ADULT VOMITED IN IT/THEM FORCING THEM TO CLOSE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY! PLUS SLIDES WERE GREAT, HOWEVER, THE YELLOW ONE WAS CLOSED ONE DAY BECAUSE WE WERE DOCKED AND SHIP LEANED A BIT, FORCING THE YELLOW SLIDE TO FILL WITH WATER AND CLOSED. ANOTHER DAY, BOTH WERE CLOSED FOR SEVERAL HOURS FOR "MAINTENANCE".

Entertainment
