The size was great. Highly recommend the Family Harbor area with kids. It was very convenient having the breakfast buffet every morning right there. Especially for port days!
The Ocean View Deluxe was very spacious .....3 bunks and a king bed. Having 2 bathrooms was great too!
Ship tip
I had read reviews about this ships layout before we went and it is a little weird, but by the second day we all figured it out and even my 10 year old was able to navigate on her own. The ship is beautiful and so much to do. We still never found everything on the Vista. She’s beautiful though. Be patient with the lines. They move really fast so we never had to wait long at all. We reserved our table on our app for dinner and within 10 minutes and walking to the restaurant we were seated right away. For being a bigger ship, it never felt crowded.
My kids favorite port! We LOVED Mr Sanchos!! The food is great, the drinks were great and the atmosphere was perfect. Our waiter Saudi was awesome and very attentive. They put us on the far end away from the “party” area so we had a little quieter time. Will def do Sanchos again. We have a 17, 16 and 10 yr old.
Most beautiful water we’ve ever seen!! We grabbed a public bus for $2.50/pp and went to Hell to get our passports stamped and then was dropped off at Seven Mile Beach next to Calico Jacks. The food and beach area was good.
Another family favorite. The Jamaican atmosphere near the port is great!!! So much energy and music. We went to Margaritaville close to the port. Had lunch and was able to use their pool and beach area. The water here is beautiful!
