Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Too much food containing PORK that was not necessary..who puts pork in Rice and Peas or String beans??? Buffet lines were too long!!! Not enough station for the size of ship..waited in line 45 min for an omelette!! Main dining room Horizons was great, had most of my meals there due to the long lines at the buffet.

Onboard Activities

Great facilities. Would be nice if there was a large multi purpose room to do fitness classes or just to do general strength exercises.

I’m glad the mdr was good. On my last cruise I think I ate at the buffet maybe twice. We prefer the dining room for the nice experience.

We were on Vista in January so may depend time of year/crowds because we didn't have any issues then again many may have missed trip due to snow storms and flight cancellations at that time. I'm a pretty picky and selective eater and thought Vista was one of the best in Carnival line....so far. Hope you'll give another chance during another time of year/season 🛳️🍦😋🍰👙🎉🍹😎🌴
