Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Had to go to one deck to check in for mdr, then go to another deck to get seated. We did not get assigned dining time this trip, a culture shock for us. Things were out of sync on this cruise, everything slow and no one seems to know what is going on. They say after you check in go to next deck there is a 5 minute wait....WRONG an hour wait!!!

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The main reason for going on this cruise was the sky ride, as we rode it in january. It was down for various reasons..major disappointment for us

We went in may right as it started having issues. We had anytime dining, checked in on 5, ate on 3. Crazy time to get to table. Had 8 minutes and it took 20 to even find the resturant because of crazy layout

We missed the boat. Our ship never sailed. We were up the river without a paddle. Never got our anchor up.

Was a shake down cruise after repairs, it's a one off thing. Anytime dining in Vista has always been on deck 5, guess someone mis informed you. Agree the liquid lounge is a poor venue and seemed to be an after thought.

This cruise wasn’t supposed to happen. Carnival was selling it starting at $180 a person. Can’t expect much for that.
