Enjoyed the cruise and excursions. Not impressed with the overcrowded large ship. May try another of the new large ships in the future and hope they are laid out better. But it was a good time even with all the people.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Thanks to COVID embarkation was a little more stressful than usual. Thanks to the VERIFLY APP it eased some of the pain. So glad all the COVID regulations have been eased and tests unnecessary.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
GUYS BURGERS were good as always. The MDR was a pleasant and tasteful experience. LIDO deck was a letdown as there were time food was unavailable. When buffets were open it sometimes was difficult to find something I liked to eat. Thank goodness for the DELI with Hotdogs and Meatball sandwiches.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Lots of TRIVIA contests and Playhouse shows to stay entertained with on sea days. Even caught an Imax movie on board. DIVE IN theater provided nighttime enjoyment.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Entertainment staff shows were enjoyable. Did not fight the lines for the Comedians. I assume they were good with thr long line to get a seat.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Room staff did an excellent job as always. Sometimes they performed magic of making the bed while we were out of the room for what seemed like a short time.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Vistas crew were always cleaning or mopping at all hours of the day. Probably more than usual with all the COVID rules.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Had a COVE BALCONY for the 1st time. While I enjoyed being lower in the ship my girlfriend didn't. She complained of being hit with seaspray and noise of the water. I like when in port being closer and watching the overcrowded ship people dealing with rush to be first off. We didn't have any excursions requiring a rush to get off.
Sloth and Macaw adventure. I didn't hold a sloth but my girlfriend did and wanted to take him home. She also enjoyed the giant parrots. I had more fun with the little capuchin monkeys. So inquisitive and ornery. LOL The shopping was a letdown but they had some good margaritas.
Appreciate your details. Glad you enjoyed your cruise. We keep thinking we’d like to try a Cove balcony to experience the reasons your girlfriend didn’t like it.
My Sister thought they just added more rooms but didn't make the venues any larger...she didnt like the Vista for that reason...I prefer the smaller ships...
