Review summary

Entertainment and on board ship activities were outstanding! I think the food needs an upgrade. Although I think a couple of design things are not great about this ship, all-in-all had a great time and would cruise on the Vista again.

Embarkation

We usually check in at airport - was able to get on board as soon as we arrived at port.

Most were wonderful! Our cabin steward not as talkative - but attentive.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Found many common areas not to be as clean as other ships. The buffet area should be more open - current design seems very congested and unorganized. Did not like the fact that the main lobby areas are void of the glass elevators. Takes away some of the visual grandeur. Rooms were good. Serenity area could have a pool and too close to the water park area - very noisy.

Ship tip

Hit up Pig and Anchor on Sea Days - Awesome!!!! Guys Burgers and Blue Iguana are a must! Pamper yourself in the spa if only for a day.

Carvinal food in general needs an upgrade. Compare to other cruise line, there food is least desirable. Guy's Burgers is the only thing that keeps them going.
