Review summary
You wake up every day with a choice. I chose to do as little or as much as I want each day. I chose to enjoy each day of my vacation. This is my 3rd time on Vista. Once out of New York and Twice out of Galveston. Carnival Vista is Amazing with CD Matt and Super Amazing with CD Kendell Fire. Steakhouse, Jiji's, Alchemy , Deli and Room Service never disappoint.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Lido Marketplace
The deli is Very good. Try the cookies. Lotsvof hot and cold options. Favs: Chili Cheese Hot dogs, meatball sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich.
Redfrog Pub and Brewery
The drinks are still good. Tey the fishbowl at happy hour and embarkation day. The service is not as good as in the past, we waited at our table for 30 mins and no service. They do stay busy, so I consider it an isolated incident.
Alchemy Bar
Best bar hands down. If you have special dietary needs this is the place. They can make anything. Just tell them your likes and dislikes. Excellent service and they listen.
JiJi Asian Kitchen
Must try. Good food and good service. The soups are awesome. Try the duck. Even though it seems not very adventurous, the sweet and sour shrimp were Amazing.
BlueIguana Cantina
My daughter's creation. Ask for steak from the buritto side and get soft taco shells on the taco side. Load up on pico, limes and cilantro. (Taco truck aka Deck Tacos)🙂 Taco salad, make it your own is excellent.
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
Excellent service. Excellent food and drinks. Watermelon martini is amazing.
Havana Bar
Great Bar. Great music. Coffee is really good. It can get a bit Hot at night but it is worth it.
Seafood Shack
Good Food and Good Service. You can request spicy andbthey deliver. Always good. Platters are enough to share.
Shake Spot
Spiked Shake good creamy indulgence.
Onboard Activities
Relax Room
They were playing upbeat pop music. The music was good but NOT relaxing at All. Service was poor. I waited 45 mins and my tech never showed up. I had to go back to check in and the treatment I received was not what I expect from Carnival.
Cloud 9 Spa
Normally the service is great my last cruise was not good.
Havana Pool
Best place to be. Not crowded. No little kids.
