Review summary

Great cruise. Only complaint was the port times. Only had 6 hours in grand cayman and Cozumel which is a little ridiculous. We were the last ship in every port and the first to leave; they need to fix the engine problems. Regardless though we still had a fantastic time!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and smooth. We were one of the first on board with priority boarding and everything was well organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Every single thing I ate and looked at was delicious. The buffet was surprisedly the best it’s ever been; it was super consistent and tasty. The main dinning room had a good variety of choices and everything was amazing. Specialty and free restaurants were all great as well! Best food cruise we have been on.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Great options for everyone. The pool was of course crowded at some times but we made do.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were pretty good and 3/4 of the comedians were hilarious. Live music was decent as well. Savannah the cruise director was great and super fun. The parties were also fun and jumping.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As usual the staff was great. They always go far and beyond to make sure you are taken care of and they always do it with a smile on their face.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship layout is super simple and easy to get around. It was always clean and looked brand new no matter the time of day.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Suite cabin so it was very spacious. It was always clean and there is plenty storage.

Ship tip

If you get hot while sleeping ask your steward for a fan and they will get you one to put on a nightstand.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel will never get old. Plenty of shopping and excursions include pretty much anything you can think of. We spent the day at Mr Sanchos and it was fantastic. There are a lot of activities to do there and you won’t run out of food or drinks while there.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

4 out of 5
Went river tubing and the scenery was so beautiful. Not much to do right off the ship though. The island of Jamaica isn’t very safe either so don’t venture off too far without a big group or a planned excursion.

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
Not the prettiest but it’s got plenty to do and the people are nice.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Great port, the stingrays were fun and the beaches are very pretty. The island is very safe and the city is great. Could defiantly spend a week here.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy.

I agree that Cozumel never gets old. Bummer on the time cut though.

Great review!! We are on the Vista in October and were under the impression the propulsion issue was fixed. Doesn’t sound like it.
