Review summary

This was a fun solo cruise. Some activities (waterside, skyride, ropes course) closed early due to wind. I ran out of things to do and ended up doing some activities twice. Room attendant kept my room clean and was friendly, greeted me everytime she saw me in the corridor. Kyndall was an amazing cruise director, funny and interactive with guests. Just one negative experience was at the tides pool bar the bar attendant refused to give me a cup of water and told me go get it myself.

I love the Vista and have sailed several times. Next time, if you can, get an Aft stateroom (Havana). It’s amazing! Thanks for your review. I’m glad you had fun!

Sorry you had bad experience at tides bar, but sounded like you had a great cruise overall. We had the same weather issues on our cruise the week before.
