Review summary

The Vista isn't my favorite lay out but this was our 2nd cruise on it and would do it again regardless. We had a very smooth time going through the process and getting on the ship. The staff was amazing, all the service, cabin steward, even the guys tending to outside decks. We had an amazing cruise and so excited to cruise again. This was our 2nd cruise in Oct 2021! We hit rocky waters on the day before coming home and it delayed us by a few hours but they did what they felt needed to keep us safe, as always.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was great, love having options. We spent most breakfasts & dinners in the dining. Lunch time was usually buffet, pizza, or Italian restaurant.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

There were a few times we were looking activities to do on the ship and didn't find anything.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our dining staff was amazing! All our bartenders, waiters and cleaning staff made the cruise even better.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

This was our 2nd time on this ship. The lay out of the Vista is not my favorite, everything seems so small and condensed. I wish they still had the casino bar. But hey, being on any ship is a great time!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our balcony was an average balcony and we had an attentive, great cabin steward.

Ship tip

If you drink, the alchemy bar is a must. If you are a smoker, you have deck 11 and deck 5 to smoke on. The Mongolian Wok is upstairs and you have to order it, unlike some of the other ships.
