Review summary

We took this cruise just for the ship. It is a 2 year old ship and it came to Galveston and we decided to "ride" it. Been to the ports many times, so we enjoyed what the ship offered. A great cruise , lots of entertainment on it

Patience is a must. Only so many people can go thru one door at a time.

We enjoyed the skyride also. We will definitely look into cruising the vista again.

Coasterking, can you tell me how current were the imax movies? The Lion King opens the day before we cruise - what are the odds they’ll have it? 😬

We’re cruising on the Vista in July also and planning to stay on the ship in Belize (since we’ve been there already).

My husband and I are doing the same thing in July on the Vista. Cruising for the ship not the ports. Going to stay on the ship on ports days and enjoy ship.
