Review summary

We enjoyed our week. Very relaxing and entertaining. I highly recommend the Carnival Vista. The fact that there was free Wi-Fi was great since everything was on the app. From booking dinner times to keeping up with all the a activities it was so easy to use.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Took about an hour. It seemed very organized with all the people who they were processing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food in the main dining room was delicious. We enjoyed the attention of our waiter Camello who remembered our name from the first evening we dined there. He was a special person. The other restaurants were good as well.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the fitness area where we walked and used the outdoor fitness equipment.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We especially enjoyed the stage shows that were very professional and entertaining. We also enjoyed the comedians shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our waiter, Camello , was amazing. We saw him every night at dinner. He new our names from day 1 and was very professional as well as entertaining. Our room steward was very friendly and did a great job keeping our room clean and stocked with towels. The cruise director, Kyndall Fire, was awesome, friendly and very professional. She kept us informed and did a great job with all the activities.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and well maintained. There were workers cleaning constantly.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

My friend and I had requested twin beds but we got a King instead. We just went with it and didn’t complain. The size of the room was very adequate. We loved having the balcony. The bathroom was adequately sized as well. The bed was very comfortable, I should add.

Ship tip

Be prepared to eat a lot! Even though it wasn’t encouraged to save chairs around the pool, get up early if that is important to you. We didn’t and ended up not being able to find seating when we wanted it. There were many chairs with peoples items saving the place but no one sitting there. We didn’t feel comfortable moving the items and taking the seating/lounge chairs so that was frustrating.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We chose to take our own bags off the ship so disembarking went very fast. Also very organized.

actually if you read carnival documents it says that you are not to hold chairs longer then 40 minutes . The staff is supposed to watch and stick a piece of paper on the chair stating the time that how long the chairs been unoccupied other wise they have to move people stuff and take it to guest services.

I'm glad you didn't do that get up early to reserve chairs crap. If people would stop doing that and only hold chairs when they were actually utilizing them, there would probably be enough for everyone when they needed them, unfortunately entitled pricks feel the need to keep things for themselves and screw everyone else. I swear if I ever see someone do that.... I will move there stuff and not use it... Just to show them how it feels. Enjoy your time at guest services dealing with lost and found. Glad you enjoyed the cruise as well.
