Review summary
This was the best cruise vacation we have ever had! First, embarkation was a breeze. I have never paid for FttF and I really don't understand why people do because the whole process is streamlined and fabulous. We booked a spa cabin (#14231) which was in a super quiet area of the ship that provided easy access to the Serenity deck and the spa. The ports of call all offered something different - swimming, partying, relaxing, walking, exploring, snorkeling - you can do it all!!! The only port where I would recommend an excursion is La Romana - not much to do in the immediate area. Souvenir shopping is best done in Curacao for the best selection and prices. I would also recommend doing a water activity in Aruba - I have never seen such brilliant water in my life! The ship offers so many things to see and do you will never be able to do it all if you wait until the last days. The skyride opened at 9am on sea days, but if you got there anytime after 10pm you would find a 30-90 minute wait. I never did make it to the skycourse, but I heard it was fun and challenging. You have got to try the water slides, even if you think you are beyond water slide age. And get to as many of the different food venues as you can - they are all so different and SO GOOD! You will love the Vista and this itinerary - book it while it lasts!Embarkation

Ship tip
Try as much as you can, as early as you can. There is so much to see and do that you could quickly run out of time!
