Review summary

Can’t wait to do another one! Next with the kids! 🤗

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super fast and easy. They checked my ID, my vaccination card and birth certificate, had me answer the covid questions AGAIN, and sent me on my way. We were on the boat within 10 min.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Guys burger, the MDR, the LIDO and the little cafe, I can’t quite remember the name, were our favorite spots to eat. The waitress in MDR, Ana, was by FAR my favorite. She became part of the family. She was their for the big moments on the boat, including my engagement!!!! If you go on the Vista within the next 3 cruises and have her you won’t regret it!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Kind of was disappointed in the activities as everything we wanted to do actually costed money. So if you are wanting to play bingo or anything like that, bring about $50-$100. Cards are $20 a piece 😫.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Punchliner comedians were hilarious, loved them, savana our cruise director was AWESOME!!! She made everything a party! The 80s night was my absolute favorite

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, Dewie was perfect, she made sure we had extra beach towels everyday while in port because we never stayed in port long and went to the pool and didn’t want to fight the sand from our previous towels. Our MDR waitress, was amazing, I wish I could’ve taken that lady home with me because she became part of our family!! I honestly can’t wait to see her again!

Ship tip

Don’t go to the casino and play the money claw machine, it’s not worth the money you will spend to try to win it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
My favorite port! We rode the horses(technically donkeys) $55 a person; they took us on a trail and then threw the water where we found a giant piece of brain coral! It was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the ship wouldn’t let us take it back with us so we got these pictures instead!! If you go to Roatan, you should definitely try this excursion. It was only an hour and didn’t have to go threw carnival to get it. The beach was absolutely beautiful and CLEAN! The water was warm and a pretty shade of blue! They have lockers to put your things, beach chairs and clam chairs. They also have food places etc all right there and $5 WiFi for the entire day!! I would go back in a heartbeat!!

Cozumel, Mexico

Port was beautiful, tried to go outside the port and instantly was hounded and asked to buy drugs! I wouldn’t suggest doing that without having an excursion or a cab taking you somewhere!!! Other then that we liked it. Probably won’t go back though.

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
Nothing… absolutely nothing to do there other then shop unless you have an excursion. Do an excursion or stay on the boat if I had to give any real advice lol. Not worth the 45 min ride to the island without an excursion. Lol

Galveston, Texas

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
They completely skipped over our muster station and called everyone else. By 10:30 we just had to squeeze in with everyone else leaving to get off the boat because so many people were left without being called down! Lines were HORRIBLE but the costums process was super quick and fast. Once off the boat, it was a breeze!
