Review summary

Overall, was a great experience. Have already booked another cruise on the vista for Feb 2021 (different itinerary). Hopefully the Rona doesn’t rain on our parade.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarking was a simple process, minor hold up as this was when COVID first hit so you had the extra questionnaire and some screening questions.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food in MDR was great every night. Also tried some of the specialty dining’s which were incredible.

Cucina Del Capitano

4 out of 5

Tried to venture out and had a mussel pasta. Was a little too fishy (and I eat oysters). Otherwise, excellent bread and wines

JiJi Asian Kitchen

5 out of 5

Probably my favorite meal the entire ship. So much food and so many delicious flavors. The pork belly and sweet and sour shrimp are to die for.

Cabin / Stateroom

Great sized room in family harbor. Was nice having two bathrooms as well as the option to grab breakfast on our floor on port days. Made (mad-e) was always around right about the time we needed something and was always in super cheerful spirits.
