Review summary

Great cruise, very relaxing with little over 50% capacity.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and fast, no waiting in long lines

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good, MDR staff at dinner and brunch were excellent, can’t comment on the buffet as I didn’t eat from it.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Hot tubs were actually hot and great.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were lacking (might be due to covid), comedy shows weren’t very good (one comedian in particular was horrible), DJ’s and ship bands were good with a great variety of music. Savannah as CD was great. Full of energy and very personable.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiters (Andryianto, Ken and Marco) and room steward (Michelle) were great. Fast, efficient and totally on point.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship was clean and staff were constantly cleaning. As far as the layout, I don’t like it. The Vista is my least favorite ship that I’ve cruised on.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved my extended balcony!! There could have been more room to pass between the bed and wall especially with the television mounted on that wall but overall a great room.

Ship tip

Learn where everything is. This is my second time on the vista and I still don’t know where some things are.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
I love Galveston and visit there often. No excursion.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel is ok. Just get tired of the same ports. We didn’t do a planned excursion but went to the beach on our own.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Like the previous comment, tired of the same ports out of Galveston. We did a ship excursion with a little city tour.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Port is ok. No planned excursion but went to the beach on our own.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and fast. Less than 30 minutes from the ships door to our vehicle.

Appreciate your feedback. The Vista class is not our favorite either. Glad you enjoyed your cruise in spite of it.
