Review summary

We cruised on the Vista on December 16th. The ship was very nice but I now understand why so many people had bad reviews about the layout. Not that we didn’t like the layout because we actually did. If you have cruised on Carnival’s Triumph Class or The Dream class you are probably gonna be a little spoiled because you have gotten use to the flow on those ships. Vista has a different flow because of the new editions to this ship. The Vista has so many places to eat so for us the boat never seemed like it was over crowded. The market place buffet on the Lido deck always had lots of seating available. The new display for the pictures is the smartest thing carnival has done in a while. Now you pull up your photos on iPads or touch screen displays instead of searching for them on the wall. Also, the pizzeria will deliver pizza to you anywhere on the ship when you use the hub app. Our cruise was the first run for the new pizza delivery (anywhere on the ship). We tried it 2 or 3 times and it was amazing because we didn’t have to stand in line for pizza for several minutes and they delivered pretty fast. Give the Vista a shot but keep an open mind and learn the new layout. It was not bad. We are already booked for another cruise on the Vista.

I have a question and I hope someone can answer this for me. I’m taking my first cruise ever on visit in the beginning of October and I noticed obviously all the excursions do you have to do an Excursion to enjoy time at the ports ? Are you able to go to the beach or enjoy time without one ? Just curious?

Good review. Problem with Vista is it really doesn't flow well at all. Really no interior highway from front to back of ship. Perhaps they will get a better design w new class of ships. More like the new Royal Caribbean ships

I wish all cruise lines would switch to the way the Vista has its pictures displayed for people to purchase. It’s such a great idea and cost much less in the long run for the cruise line. We try not to take the pictures because we know we aren’t going to buy them and it’s just going to be another picture in the trash.
