Review summary

We had a great time as a family on this ship. Everything about the ship is good but nothing is great. If you are looking for a ship that caters to all ages the Vista does a good job.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation was as smooth as it gets. Lines were short and fast. The only drawback was the workers aren’t friendly at all, my daughter even called them scary.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

This ship has great lunch options but free dinner options are limited. The main dining room food is what I would call a 6/10.

Onboard Activities

Comedy club is great and the cruise director did a great job all week.

I think the food is great for as many people they have to feed. You should have went to the steakhouse or the Italian restaurant or they have a couple of more on there as well if your not a fan of the dinning or the buffet. The worker are scary that’s just bazar for kids to say unless they we’re being disrespectful to the works!!! They are just doing there job! They are the nicest they can be for Serving a bunch of different people! If they can turn a ship around in three hour for the next cruisers!!! THEY are doing something right for YOUR vacation to be a great experience and safe and very reasonable priced! Maybe go try Royal Caribbean! Maybe you will think they are a five star In all honesty they need to charge more for all the hard work of babysitting every one on the ship. Hope you have a better experience next time.
