Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Guy’s burgers are a must have. They were really good. Lido market place buffet, not so much. Most days lunch and dinner were not good. Breakfast buffet was pretty good.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The Vista’s layout is a bit different. You definitely don’t get that WOW factor. Somethings are a little hard to find, but once you learn the ship it’s pretty easy to navigate around. For vista being a large ship we didn’t stand in line for food no more than 10 mins. Lido deck got a little crowded at time but that’s where most of the fun happens so it’s expected

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5

I was a little concerned about this port because of the reviews I’ve read. We had a wonderful time in Montego Bay. We booked an excursion, had a tour guide that took us all around Jamaica. Went to the hip strip, Rolls Hall, the beach, shopping, stopped off and had fresh coconut water and sugar cane. Went to Jerky’s and had the best jerk chicken that I’ve ever tasted. It was truly amazing. Please don’t believe the bad reviews. Although Jamaica may not be for everyone, you must experience Montego Bay for yourself to understand their culture

In Cozumel we went to Mr. Sanchos, an all inclusive beach. It was absolutely wonderful. Mr. Sanchos is a must do in Cozumel you won’t regret it.

I’m really nervous about the embarkation/debarkation. I keep seeing the negative comments. We’re cruising on the Vista in July. I’ve experienced the chaos cruising on the Valor.
