Review summary

Sailed on Vista with my family 7/28 on 8-day S. Caribbean voyage. Overall, we had an awesome vacation. Embarkation was super smooth and easy. From hotel (stayed at Loew’s South Beach) to cabin on Vista was one hour. We are platinum guests, so our cabin was ready when we boarded at 11:30am. The cruise director was a “sub” - but he was still pretty good...Chris Williams. This is our 2nd time on Vista. While there are a lot of people on the ship, there are plenty of places to find a deck chair. This was never an issue. Food was pretty much what we expected - Lido is fair, pizza is great, love Guy’s burgers. Service in main dining room was always slow and food just okay. We ate in specialty dining 5x and this was well worth the money. Cucina del Capitano and Steakhouse were good - JiJi Asian Kitchen was by far the best! The service and food were outstanding! Thoroughly enjoyed Java Joe at Java Blue Cafe. Casino staff were also very friendly. Our cabin steward Christine was excellent. She always greeted us by name and did a great job taking care of our cabin. Wish that we had more time in Grand Turk - early arrival and early departure. IMAX theatre was also a must-do - caught new Mission Impossible movie one afternoon on a sea day. Already thinking about our next cruise. The Horizon is moving to Miami to replace Vista and so we will probably give her a try next!
