Cabin / Stateroom

First time in an interior room and we loved it! The temperature felt cooler and it was definately darker. Slept incredibly well! As roomy as Carnival's rooms are. Very clean.

Did not like the tender process, seemed unorganized. Friendly people, saw filthy rich to filthy poor economics on the island tour.

High pressure sales people! I purchased a "sterling silver" necklace and my hometown jewelry showed me it was worthless stainless steel. Taught me to use a magnet to test for fake stuff!

I went on Vista in September after being on Dream twice. I didn't like that the Havana deck was private so we couldn't walk around the whole ship like we did on Dream. And the sky ride was down on that cruise. We are going back on Vista next month so hoping it will be a lot more fun the second time around. Glad you enjoyed yourself!

Yes! We just got off the Vista a couple cruises before yours, loved this ship! We're booked again for October. I have to say though, they could've done better with the show room horrible seating unlike their other ships. But everything else A definite 10
