Review summary

The continued issues with the Vista caused us to miss a port. No refrigerator for 7 days and below par food made it a challenge to find the silver lining.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Wasn't as fast as it could have been. Felt like a packed sardine.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Main dining room was gross. Only went twice in 7 days.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Enjoyed the comedy club. Always a good time. Lido music was a bit repetitive.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The crew is severely overwhelmed and overworked. They still smile and take amazing care of you.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Not my favorite layout for a ship. Alot of dead ends.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I love the lower interior cabins. Quiet and cold. Only issue was not having a refrigerator all week. It was broken and was told couldn't be replaced for us. We were given a beer ice bucket twice a day inside the fridge. $60 obc for the inconvenience.
