Review summary

Cruised on Vista July 22-28, overall great cruise. Enjoyed being on a newer ship. Pros: main dining room, Guy’s, Pig and Anchor, Blue Iguana, crew and service. Pig and Anchor was my favorite for lunch option and rest of families favorite was Blue Iguana. Never been a cruise buffet fan but we thought better then normal. Most of the shows and music. No problems getting drinks anywhere, bar hops were outstanding and readily available. Liked how divided up the main Beach Pool, Tides Pool, and Serenity area were set up, We never felt really crowded and no issues with getting chairs at any of the areas. Also it was most I have ever used elevators on a ship, we usually don’t like to wait and use stairs but didn’t need to as much on the Vista Cons: agree with what most say about lounges, too small with lots of obstructing views. Also need more of theatre or stadium seating set up. Lines still to long for certain things for example Sky Ride and buffet and Guys. Also too limited hours for dining options, Pig and Anchor only open on sea days 12-2:30, and buffet limited lines that were open which would cause longer lines at Pizzeria and Guys. Didn’t get to experience cruise director Matt, we had Adam who was ok but didn’t seem to really want to be there but went through the motions while filling in. Overall great vacation and wouldn’t hesitate to sail on Vista again.

@dmallo I am jealous you have a spa room. We had that type of room on our last sailing and used the amenities daily before a quick afternoon nap (we never nap, but the spa was that relaxing).... it is worth every second!!!

The Flying Scotsmen Chris Williams is coming to the Vista next week, he is really entertaining.

I sail on Vista in Feb. The CD is the heart of the cruise so pray Matt is back by then.
