Review summary

This was our 2nd time on the Carnival Vista. Nothing seemed to change from this time to the last time we were aboard. Was hoping for some different opportunities on the ship.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
When your on time for your cruise. The embarcation is not a problem.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
It's typical Carnival food and drink. Fahrenheit 555 was a disappointment. Inconsistency in quality of the Filet Mignon. Although the Cheesecake was big enough to choke a horse.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Comedy Club was great. 3 of the 4 comedians we would see again. The Limelight Lounge is Too Small and chairs were nearly broken. The Comedy Showcase was great!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The 88 Keys was a treat.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Our cabin steward was great!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Typical Balcony room. Nothing special

Ship tip

It's a big strung out ship. Stay more to the aft end of the ship (Decks 4, 5, & 6). If you get a chance to relax on the sea day do a spa package.

My coworker just returned from her cruise on the Vista and she complained about the filet mignon too. We’re cruising in July and I already made reservations for the 8 of us so it better be good!
