Review summary

Enjoyed all the staff we came in contact with on the vista. They took care of us.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth & easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Only ate in main dining room first night because we felt the menu wasn’t any better than the buffet for us.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Went into the aft pool - however they allowed children in it. Usually they keep one pool for adults only. We went on the sky rider twice (no fee) & loved it both times. It’s only open afternoons.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
DJ Timmy was wonderful- our cruise director Savannah was awesome & her fun squad was terrific.

Children's Programs

Our children are adults.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We are always pleased with service & staff. They are the hardest working individuals ever. We really do appreciate them & let them now that too.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean & layout was perfect.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Last balcony on this deck- we felt the waves during a windy night but mostly it was just fine.

Ship tip

Go in the sky rider, it’s free & fun.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
No excursion

Belize City, Belize

3 out of 5
We usually stay on the ship because unless your doing an excursion they recommend you to not go into city by yourself.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
We walked to the beach & stayed most of the day there. Very nice & clean.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Been here plenty of times & we now only walk for a few miles & return to ship.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Pretty smooth - we carried our own luggage off the ship. The only issue was trying to get to the correct bus for our shuttle to airport. They(carnival) we’re trying their best to accommodate both ships at the port.

Thanks for your review. Sailed her maiden US cruise out of New York back in 2016. We really enjoyed the ship.

Appreciate your feedback. Just booked the Vista for January. Carnival actually changed the policy for having an adult only pool before Covid. Many still have it only because of tradition and not policy.🧐 Glad you enjoyed your cruise!
