Very relaxing cruise! There were sooo many more good things than bad. It is what you make it! Embarkation was pretty smooth even though there was no social distancing... it only took about an hour. My aft balcony was fabulous except for hearing the Fiesta band in the Havana very loudly at night from the balcony 3 nights of the cruise. It kinda hindered my serentiy a little. Taking ear buds next time. Wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't soooo loud and from 8pm- midnight. Other than that the balcony was fantastic!! The ship was very clean! The service was exceptional!! The shows were great. Just wish they enforced the masks more in doors. Some ppl just refused. The food was ok. Be sure to eat brunch! Loved guys burgers. Pig and anchor was good. Don't forget that you can order hot fresh sandwiches on lido deck. Disembarkation was terrible. Long wait. Have to be out of your room by 8:30 but didn't get called to debark until 10:30. Overall a great cruise though. I have already booked another cruise on Vista!!

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
I had the best cabin!!! Aft deck 9. It is a covered deck so not good for sunbathing but wonderful for just relaxing. There is always shade. I did buy a USB fan for my next cruise so I can take it with me while on my balcony. I actually booked the cabin next to it for my next cruise!! Fantastic.
Ship tip
Eat brunch in horizon restaurant. Don't forget that the lido deck makes hot fresh sandwiches to! Do not rush to disembarkation because it takes a long time. There will be people who do refuse to wear masks 😷. Just stay away from them and do what you have to do to keep your self safe. Day 3 home from cruise and covid free.
Best deals on jewelry! Not best deal on liquor. Tip.... if you find a great deal on liquor in port but don't want to lug it around...take a pic and let carnival fun shop see it! They will give liquor at same price as port!
Disembarkation was terrible. I am very used to taking my own luggage off of the ship and being in my car by 8am for a long drive home. They didn't start debarkation until 8:45. Diamond/platinum 1st. Then called by mustar station. We had to be out of our rooms by 8:30! Our mustar was not called until 10:30. So... our express debarkation was not express... we carried all of our luggage for over 2.5 hrs before we were able to get off the ship.... and we had a lot of luggage. After all the mustar stations are called... then they call the zone tags for ppl who checked their luggage. Idk what time they got off the ship! Ppl were upset because they were going to miss their flights home. Got to be a better way! But... I have always had fttf so I don't know how it usually is. But... it was very frustrating.
Thank for review, glad you enjoyed yourself, also THANK YOU for information, we are on Vista Saturday and been wondering about that. Will be first time without FTTF and been asking anyone who’s cruised. 🙏🏿
