Review summary

While the Vista is not my favorite ship, it is beautiful and has a lot of places to sit either by yourself or with a few others quietly. Plenty of places to eat and drink, and the onboard activities were fun.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had FTTF so we were able to slip right onto the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The drinks were good. Fun bartenders The food was pretty good. Our server, Alex, in the MDR was great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The slides were a blast. Enjoyed the skyride -- it was only a little scary. Did not enjoy the rope course! All the kids seemed to enjoy it, though.

Entertainment

The comedians and the performers in the Atrium were very good.

Service and Staff

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
We took off from here. Its a nice port. Beach is nearby (although it leaves a lot to be desired), good restaurants and museums.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We did the dolphins and snorkling. It was beautiful and the dolphins were fun.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
While we did not visit the port, we did do the snorkel and starfish island excursion. That was amazing. The crew was outstanding. The reef and island were beautiful. Would do this again!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Always love Cozumel! Our excusion this time took us to Playa del Carmen to the Amazing Secret River. Our tour guide, Cecilia, was great! The cave/river was spectacular. A must see and do.

Disembarkation

I’m so glad to read the debarkation was organized. I hope it’s getting better. Was the gangway (?) fixed?

Great review. I have heard a lot of people comment on the layout of this ship. I’m gonna have to take a look at it before I board.
