Review summary

Room size was great. Bigger than our Disney cruise. Family lounge area great for kids to grab ice cream and the adults coffee (specialty coffee machine) whenever we wanted. Couch that made into a bed made my son's back hurt because it was basically a mattress with the backside being slanted down close to the wall. Cabin helper tried to fix but my son said it was still uncomfortable. Our bathroom smelled like a sewer from the minute we opened our cabin door. I'm guessing a plumbing problem somewhere? Cabin helper tried to fix by putting in an air freshener but it didn't really help. We had water run down the wall in the center of our cabin from upstairs to the floor two different days. I guess I would just not stay in this same cabin (2400) should we decide to go on another Carnival Vista trip. Was easier than I thought to get off ship quick to catch excursions. Crew friendly, nice, and tried to be helpful. Horizon's Dining Room food was a lot better than the buffet. Desserts were very good at Horizon's. My kids loved the human pool table (sort of like soccer) and poly pong table on the 12th deck. They also liked Guy's Burger Joint. We saw Guy Fieri on the cruise and my one son really wanted a picture with him but he was busy eating with family so he respected his privacy. Would have been nice to have a picture night with him for the cruisers. Would have been nice to know what movies were going to play on the ship before we got on. We saw Mission Impossible Fallout about $13 a person. Overall we had a nice time except for the room problems.
