I’m sorry you did not like the Vista and thought the food was gross. I’ve been on her three times and going again for Christmas. Nothing is perfect. I hope that you would give cruising on Carnival another chance.

You have to have sail with another cruise, before saying you are going to another line. As someone said you have zero cruise listed. Food smells like dog food was pretty harsh, but then I really don't know what dog food smell like or taste. I have been on the Vista plenty of times and will be back on her December 17th, I agree service has been lacking since the restart. I think things will get better, Happy sailing on those other lines. I'm sure you'll find something wrong with them also. You're on vacation Live, Love and Laugh and don't allow anyone to ruin your happiness.

Thanks for the review, seems if the buffet food on one cruise line caused you to have such a bad experience you would be totally done with cruises. The food isn’t the total experience, and to have zero cruises list on profile says this was your first? Anyways enjoy your next cruises on Royal Caribbean or NCL.

Thanks for your review and comments. There seems to be significant dissatisfaction with Carnival recently. Add to that the bad press and new and increasing fees it is probably time for the powers that be to take a long hard look at CCL. Starting with the president. I do not see the same issues with other Carnival Corporation cruise lines.

Appreciate your feedback. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. At least you tried something different. Enjoy your return to RCCL and/or NCL.

We did not like the food either. It did smell weird. It tasted just like it smelled. We had the same thoughts of choosing a different cruise line for our next cruise.
