We will not book a cruise again with Carnival. They're not horrible but if you come expecting "Mercedes-level" of quality, pampering and beauty you're going to be shocked to find you instead are on board a Chevy.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Thank God for Guy Fieri's hamburgers and the pizza place b/c main dining rooms and buffets were very disappointing. Most restaurants were average at best.

Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Several bartenders (and a few other workers) seemed apathetic and not happy with their jobs. However, there were also many happy and wonderful staffers.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Design is confusing and horribly marked with signage (good luck finding bathrooms). Cleanliness was good. Not as beautiful of a ship and you would think.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
If you can handle living in an RV, you can handle this. We will never buy an RV.
Nice little 3rd world country in Caribbean. You lose WAY too much time with tenders to get to shore and bus rides to Mayan ruins. Had almost zero time after excursion to "experience" Belize.
You will need to pay the appropriate cost of a small RV to get the sailing experience you are looking for. Don't expect to get $20,000 pampering on a $5000 cruise. It's a vacation, lighten up and enjoy it.
I have sailed on Vista and I own a fifth wheel RV.
Wow ! Did you dine in any specialty restaurants? Did you stay in the Havana cabins ? What type of cabin,did you have ? I don’t care for Mercedes, I’m a Ford lady. I guess I’ll be okay. I have a Havana cabin.
