Review summary

The food was poor. Not many options for vegetarians. Every good item contained pork or some meat of some sort The entertainment was not enough. Entertainment needs to cater to non white cruisers in terms of music etc. The comedians especially Spike Davis were great. Singers and dancers are mediocre

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Buffet had the same food everyday. I am a vegetarian and I had very limited options. Every food item even beans contained pork. Too much pork dishes.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Comedians were great especially Spike Davis. The comedy club manager was amazing. The resident performers who did the shows need more training in terms of dancing and singing. Their dancing and singing abilities were mediocre

I appreciate a fair and honest review even if it's a bad review. 90% of what you wrote was negative yet your stars are at four. I was expecting a rave review, this should have had two stars at best.

When I was on the Vista the music was a variety. We heard music from Marvin Gaye to Bruno Mars and all in between and everybody enjoyed. As for the food it was comparable to other cruise lines.

You should have called the cruise line to tell them you want vegetarian meals. I will not eat at the buffet anymore. There are plenty of other good options. Did you go to the Italian restaurant at lunch for the pasta bar.

Need to cater to non white cruisers? Seriously? Does everything have to be about race? Why can't it be about EVERYBODY? I happen to like all different types of music and entertainment and so does my family
