Review summary

Not as fun as what I expected. Too crowded, had to fight for a place to sit virtually everywhere you went. Stressful, not relaxing.

I was on this same cruise and never felt too crowded and never had to rush to find a seat. I did notice the lines at the comedians, but I like that they offer them more than once. The serenity deck was never crowded and an relaxed there several days. We also hung out at the tides pool since the mail pool on lido was chaotic.

I sailed the Vista this past March doing spring break and it didn't fill crowded at all. I'm 60 years young and enjoyed the Vista. We will be cruising her again in March 21st, 2020.

I always smile when people complain about the ships being crowded. To all the other cruisers YOU are the crowd!

Other than the theater and comedy club, there were plenty places to chill.

We sailed on her last year and will b in havana area in 2 weeks. Never felt crowded at all in fact of all the ships we had been on we felt less crowded on the vista. Great ship although the magic is still my favorite

Sorry you didn’t enjoy the Vista we sailed on her two years ago stayed in Havana area which was heaven and not crowded, service great food well I agree actually probably lost weight but we had a great trip anyway the piano player I. The piano bar at that time was fantastic spent every night there two times comedy show which were good , we had two sea days spent them in Havana area probably that made the difference, and went ashore at each port all in all I would sail the vista again but stay in the havana section.

Awesome cruise

Last minute trip to remember

Great week and even though the ship was having issue, it did not stop the guests from having a great time. Matt the cruise director was excellent and the crew was great as well.
