Review summary

Overall, an amazing cruise. We went to every port and had a great time in each. The Vista is an amazing ship. So much room and many activities to choose from. The staff is friendly and dedicated to providing the best service they can. The Playlist productions are amazing performances. Be prepared to have an awesome time, just remember your patience!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and smooth! We had no issues with Verifly. Our appointment was 10am and we were in the waiting area by 1020am. Just a reminder that the elevators are packed the first day, so be patient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Always delicious! We ate breakfast and dinner every day in the main dining room. So many options to choose from. We had JiJi's for lunch a few times and Blue Iguana and both were delicious. Still not a huge fan of Guy's, but try it every time just in case. So many food options, you won't go hungry! Don't forget the sweet spot daily cakes.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There are many activities to do on the ship and everything was working. If you are like me, I was able to find a few quiet spots on the ship to just relax and take in the amazing ocean and breeze.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Playlist Production shows were awesome! So much talent on that stage. I was not a huge fan of the comedy shows, but others enjoyed. Cruise director Kendall brought so much energy whenever she stepped in an area. Music was nice and various genres were played.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always AMAZING! They work so hard to provide the best experiences. So friendly and patient. Always neat to hear about where they live.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
So clean! Always someone cleaning something. The layout took the first day to navigate, but we got the hang of it. Very nice ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an Oceanview cabin. It was roomy for 2 people and it was a nice view seeing when we pulled into port.

Ship tip

Have patience and enjoy yourself. You are on vacation as well as everyone else. Make the best memories you can! Life is too short to be nitpicking!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Stayed the night at Best Western Plus! Friendly staff and quiet location across from public beach.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Always a good time in Cozumel! Did the Best of Cool-ture excursion. Visited the east side of island, saw San Gervasio ruins, and had a nice e lunch and chocolate/tequila tasting. Only drawback is sales pitches for chocolate and tequila.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5
We did the Offroad 4x4 Adventure. It was amazing! Such a beautiful place with beautiful people!

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We did the Nautilus Submarine! It was okay, I went in expecting something different. It would be a great experience for children and people who don't get hot easily.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
So easy! We chose to carry our luggage and were in the first muster station off the ship. We were in the car heading back home by 9am.

Thank you for your review. I love your attitude. Stay with it. With so many reviews I read it seems the writers forget what their cruise is all about and rather find as many faults as they can. Thank you again for your uplifting and positive review.
