Review summary

the Vista ship is the worst in carnival fleet. Poor layout, up and down stairs, there is not any walk way that would lead you from front to back, not enough elevators, first two days at see WiFi was out, TVs in cabin still spotty the last few days. We couldn’t watch NFL or College football.. I understand they want you out on deck buying drinks but that’s not what everyone want to do. Carnival tried to produce a top of the line larger ship to compete with Princesses and Norwegian but failed. The food was horrible. They did something to the desserts. Can’t put my finger on it but it was horrible.. I will be placing this on Facebook.. We were booked for a excursion (booked through (Carnival) in Belize to a small island and it was raining so bad they still was going to do the excursion.. I backed out after boarding.. seeing the over packed boat and all the rain was to much.. they refunded our money but why take the chance?

Wow that's too bad I love the Vista. I can't take the older/smelly ships/boats.

You don't have any cruises listed. When did you really go?

I keep reading about the layout, but don't understand. Only the lobby deck is separated by the kitchen ( typical). Mezzanine and Promenade have different layouts, but appear all contiguous
