So... Maybe what I heard on YouTube from a YouTuber couple they thought the crew and room stewards weren't very personable because they were commenting that they were leaving the Vista to go on an older ship. I was taken aback by this! Because on every cruise me and my wife have been on (all Carnival) it's been a very pleasant experience with our waiter and room stewards.

Sounds great! We’re bringing 6 kids only ours range from 16 to 25. (Only 4 of them belong to us though and we’re bringing 2 extras lol.) Can’t wait!

We did just that! We very much enjoyed the Vista and couldn’t wait to book again. We changed a ship & itinerary to sail again with friends on the Vista. We recently booked the Mardi Gras for 2021! Can’t wait to start reading reviews and seeing pics ship mates share!
