Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Best quality food products we had were put out by Guys and Blue Iguana. We ate most evening's in the main dining. Food there was ok but certianly nothing special.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Fairly good shows. Late night comedians relied on rauncy jokes to make up for lack of talant. Deck movies were very good. Sports activities had lines for over an hour. We were never able to do skyride. Stood in line for 1.5 hours just to have it shut down when we were about 8 back due to high wind.

Ship Quality

Most of the people i spoke with thought ship was not layed out well. Long waits for elevators most days. Ship was kept very clean considering the amount of traffic.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ship tip

We will go back to smaller ships. Too many lines. Disenbarkation was total confusion and a very unpleasant experience. Had to be out of the rooms early then set around with your bags for a couple of hours for exprezss. We got to the port a little after 8 and did not get off the boat untill after 11.

Sorry to hear about your review. We would politely like to present another opinion. As a bit of a qualification I would like to say that we have cruises on multiple ships including RCCL and HAL with 11 cruises under our belt. We left the Vista 3 weeks ago. The food was top notch. We don’t have children but got a real kick out of the Seuse parade while we had breakfast at the continental breakfast bar. The entertainment was excellent. The only thing that could have made it better, would have been having had the Aterr band performing on board. So I hope you find something more to your taste on another vacation. As for us, we have booked another cruise on the Vista in April to enjoy all the fun and good times the ship and wonderful crew have to offer.

I think that your review is mediocre at best. Don’t know the difference between embarkation and debarkation. Put entertainment in the activities section and to lazy to fix it. After saying the room was the best part up of the ship you talk up the deck movies and Guys . I am disappointed in this review overall.
