Your profile is showing only one cruise. Don't be discouraged by one so call bad cruise. Do your research and pick something you want to do. You can have the same experience on another cruise line. As I said before you make your vacation and enjoy the time you have with your friends and family. As long as I'm with my it's a blessing. My wife and I was a way from our home for 4 days last year do to the flood from Harvey. The Hotel was a 2 star hotel at best, since it was the only place available. Those 4 days was great and we made the best of a terrible situation. We'll take a so call bad cruise over losing everything in a flood anyday. Again you make things happen good or bad.

This is the most puzzling review I've ever seen. I guess cruising isn't for everyone

She is correct about ship design. It is awkward and doesn't flow well

Was on the Vista in August and had a great time. The flying Scotsman was awesome. Food was great. Some long lines but it went fast.

Rhonda 1369's, I only been on 4 cruises and my 5th one will be on the Vista in March. I yet to find anything boring, it's your vacation with family and friends. You make your vacation what you want it to be, not the ship. I don't know what you mean by no food options. What was you looking for, there is something for almost everyone. But hey there's always that one person you can't please, because they want allow themselves to be happy or pleased. Carnival is known for being the party ship.

The food options caught me off guard too. I had to double check they were taking about the Vista. We will be on the Splendor in February and they dont have guys or blue Iguana or any of the specialty dining that the Vista does, but I still will find enough variety to enjoy myself. I'm wondering what other ships they're used. Maybe I wanna try that one.

Bigger is not better- ok Terrible service- it can happen in some areas AT TIMES, not the whole trip and all the time. No food options- are you serious?? Even for special diets and allergies, Carnival is accommodating. Boring ship in design (I have not seen it yet). Boring ship in activities- Are you sure you went on a Carnival ship??? And the Vista??? 🙄🤔

Other reviews of this sailing

Cozumel-Belize-Honduras for the 3rd time. Repeat sailings just means fine tuning what you do in port. We enjoy this one more each time.

Great Cruise

Awesome
