Review summary

Been on Vista 3 times now. The last 2 times I really did not like Vista. This cruise on Vista I loved the ship. Great food, and plenty of it, pre pandemic menus, great entertainment, friendly and helpful crew, plus Halloween. Short getting off times(2300 guests on board). No lines.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Pretty fast considering 2300 was on the Vista

Thank you for your comments. We sailed the Vista on her inaugural US sailing in 2016. Biggest ship we had been on to that point and wasn't sure at the time. So I can understand somewhat how you felt.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. I agree that sailing on this class of ship with reduced number of passengers is great!
