Review summary

Great time however more adult entertainment and music artists varieties is a must next time. Ship became boring after awhile. However overall experience was great! Buffet menu can do with less vegetarian and more options fir all. Fruit variety needs to be more than bananas, orange, cantaloupe and watermelon or just few pineapples...should be more tropical. The choice of beverages for meals is needed. The lemonade provided was awfully bland and repetitive. Ice cream needs to be ice cream instead of ice milk. Just food for thought.

Shops

More variety and there where no shops to purchase emergency toiletries or snacks. More stores to buy souvenirs on board?

Vista Casino

1 out of 5

Better ventilation for smoking and more space. Too many unused bar space throughout the ship. 2 casinos would have been more enjoyable to guests after hearing several conversations from professional gamblers on board! Drinks were watered down a bit, however I understand it’s an alcohol controlled environment but could have been better and too costly as well.

With the cost of the cruise thus should not have been additional money to enjoy on the ship! I heard too many people complimenting about the cost.

Adult entertainment like what? Group activities? All ships have the same lemonade, fruit juice, tea, cocoa, milk other juices free. Theres always more options to eat/drink just have to pay for them. Sailing is the only time i know where you can eat a variety of fruits & entrees & send them back if you dont like them. Sorry cruizing isnt for you or maybe try Seaborn it's like $3000.00 for a weekend cruise but caters to your every whim.

Wow,maybe your first cruise should have been 3 days. Sorry you didn't have a good time . Cruises not for everyone. Vacation is what you make it. I always have a good time.

I hate you sound like you didn’t really enjoy much of it. We had a great time on Vista. The food was amazing at the Blue Iguana and no additional cost. Things are always pricey on cruises. Hope you enjoyed some of it.

Other reviews of this sailing

My trip on the Vista in June 2018 was very enjoyable. The activities and shows were really great. All the staff that we encountered were helpful and very professional. The only negative for the group that I was traveling with would be the R rated Comedy .
