We really enjoyed our cruise. We had 4 kids and 6 adults. Not a negative thing to say. However... the ship design itself, appeared to cater to quantity not quality.

Carnival has improved the process.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

This was our first carnival cruise being placed in forward dining. It was nice, but lacked in entertainment.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
I felt there were a lot of similarities between the Vista and the Breeze. However, many things I enjoyed on the Breeze were reduced or removed on the Vista :(
game area was smaller, always waited for ping pong or foosball. The wrap around on deck five was removed for the Horizen rooms. Everything felt more cramped, overall
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Comedy was great. The liquid lounge was terrible! Due to the design (so many obstructions), it was hard to find a good seat. Hasbro was fun, as usual, but “Flick” was just weird. This is typically one of my favorite places on the ship. But, not on the Vista.

It’s Carnival. They're always great!!
Ship Quality

Beautiful ship. But the design felt crowded and small. The atrium was lackluster and filled with picture studios. I feel the Imax, and Horizon rooms (which were neat), just took up to much space. As mentioned, I really disliked the liquid lounge.
Cabin / Stateroom

First cruise where I wasn’t able to unpack everything. Much less storage (I felt), then other ships. We really did enjoy being on the Lido deck.
Glad you enjoyed your cruise!🛳 We also found the design of the Vista off putting. Others seem to like it. So we just plan to avoid this ship. Thanks for sharing your experience.
