Review summary

The Vista was the perfect first cruise ship, amazed

Embarkation

5 out of 5

I can not complain about the embarkment. I had all my stuff in order and according to picture time marks, I got in line at 12:22 and was stepping onto the ship at 1:33. Remember we were all told to be there between 12:30 and 3:30 by multiple emails, texts and calls due to the vista being late coming in. If I was to complain it would be on the line cutters and negativity I was surrounded by, by other passengers

Ship experiences

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was wonderful, definitely not the cabin for anyone who wants to go to sleep before midnight due to the speaker outside the balcony. But once the Havana Bar closed down you didn’t hear a thing

Ship tip

You get what you put into a vacation. Not everything will be perfect all the time. I’m thankful for the issues that did arise on this cruise because it will remind me on future cruises things happen

Thumbs up

Wasn’t really impressed but do have to remind myself they did just open back up. Remember outside of the port they are in pounds on USD, that was a shell shock lol

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

I feel disembarkment went smoothly considering we were late again. Again my only complaint would be the other passengers who didn’t follow what was asked of us

Wasn't a big fan of this cruise. Ship design, propulsion issues. My wife met one of her new best friends

Unexpected Cruise Had Some Ups and Downs
