Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Food was tasteless in buffet and dining. No desserts except for 2 kinds of cookies that weren’t good and those fancy cakes were awful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The theater is to small and the seating was terrible if you sit upstairs the plexiglass blocked your view. The shows aren’t the best maybe 2 of them! Need to step it up. Notch. The country singers are good but the rest wasn’t desirable.

Children's Programs

No children

I find this review wrong, especially in the entertainment category. There were more than 2 shows to see, in fact, one nightly. There were 5 playlist shows, Hasbro show, and a Lip Sync Battle. Buffet can be hit or miss but there is always a couple of hits.

Sorry you didn’t like your cruise. But I find it hard to believe nothing was good. Very strange...

Went on the Vista 2018, loved it!!! No didn’t care for the layout but it didn’t spoil my trip. Far as food there was plenty of things that was hit or miss but I found enough of things I loved to eat. Can’t like everything. Beautiful ship!!! Love the scenery in the middle of the floors!!! I think people make there vacation bad on purpose. Ijs.

No ship is perfect and if someone is really trying you can find something wrong. We loved the vista and the imax is amazing. I don’t get why people let their vacation be ruined because they’re just trying to find things wrong. Your vacation is what you make out of it and if everything even goes wrong you can still have fun

Was not a big fan of Vista either. Wouldn't pass up a free cruise on her, but not so sure I would pay again. The food wasn't great but would not say awful. One of the nights they had cheesecake for dessert in the MDR, worst cheesecake ever. Didn't love any of the desserts on the buffet either. But sure do love me a Guys burger and breakfast/brunch in the MDR!

Agreed. We went on Vista in January and loved everything. Would go again in a minute. We have nothing negative to say. Dont know what their problem was..we studied deckplans before we boarded because we heard this one is different. Different but not in a bad way. We also did the Imax which is what some of the space is used for. Totally worth it!!!
