There were a few annoyances with the reduced services; but everyone tried very hard and I felt it was a very good cruise. I still have no idea if they've fixed the propulsion problems. The staff has been pretty mum about it. Since the port times were shorter and we usually sail about 2-4 knots faster, I'm guessing there still may be some issues
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Super fast with Verifly. Our 10:30a slot allowed for probably the quickest I've ever been on board a Ship
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Since the return, I've had awful food on the Panorama and decent on the Breeze. This time the food quality was up there where it used to be. I never had to wait in the MDR for service but you could tell they are running lean. The buffet selections were very limited and un-bussed tables on the lido deck were common. The reduced deli times were annoying and meant long lines for it and the burgers.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We mainly relaxed, but all events and venues we did were good.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The Cuban production was good. One comedian, Kristen, was almost painful to watch. It's not good when you feel sorry for a performer. CD Kendall did a good job in riling up the participants of the Love and Marriage show
Service and Staff

All we interacted with were friendly and gracious. Always a plus with Carnival
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
I see some complained the Vista was old and worn out. I just don't see it. I found everything to be kept clean and well maintained.

Ship tip
If you are a Platinum member, read all these reviews and comments so you don't go onboard with incorrect expectations. The desk will give you a summary of the changes. If you're not a Platinum member, you can tell us all: "wonk wonk!"
Did our first stingray expedition thru Carnival (stingrays, starfish & lunch). Was a few hiccups to get there, but it was pretty good! Port times were short here and I was not going to chance a third party
I'm still on the boat and since lousy disembarkations are almost always due to port or weather factors - Im sure most of y'all don't care about this section either. They are calling it by muster station.
