Review summary

This was our first cruise on Vista and we booked it again in February.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Arrived a little early, both lines were moving about the same. About a ten minute wait through the Covid verification line and on to check-in. From arrival to Guy Burger about 30 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Did not do Main Dining this trip but we did enjoy the buffet, Guy's Burgers, Blue Iguana, Pizza, ice cream, and the Deli.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of activities for all ages. We did the Sky Ride a couple of times and never had to wait in line. We did the Ropes course (barely). Windy day and moving ship makes it more challenging.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
This is one area that could use improvement and may get better as the ships return to full capacity.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone that we interacted with was very friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very pretty ship and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was clean and comfortable. The balcony is a little small and has two chairs that do not recline.

Ship tip

Spend time looking around, lots of hidden little areas. Check out all the food options.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
Galveston seems to always have some event happening on the Strand which causes a lot of traffic congestion and delays getting to the ship.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Loved Mahogany Bay. Beautiful area with lots to see and do. Shopping area was clean and uncrowded.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Been here several times. Not much to do at the port, recommend an excursion. We did the Lamanai Ruins and loved it.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We always enjoy Cozumel. Lots to see and do on your own here and we have always felt safe. We did the Scuba Diving excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Carnival has really improved the disembarkation process. They did a great job of keeping the lines moving and avoiding congestion.
