Review summary

Overall, I was disappointed. This is my 8th or 9th cruise and I have had several on Carnival. I do not plan to do a carnival cruise again. My main disappointment was the pool, too difficult to get in and out of.

The food was as expected.

Onboard Activities

The pools are not senior age accessible, both were hard to get into and almost impossible to get out of!

Ship Quality

1st floor with cabins had a soft soft around rooms 1284. I stayed to the outer edges while I went down the hall as I had stepped into the soft spot once and almost fell.

Ship tip

DON'T. It was very disappointing. This was my 3rd time on Carnival Vista; December 2022, January 2023 and Sept 2023. Will not go again on Carnival or Carnival Vista.

You gave Mahogany 1 Star and never got off the ship and you based it from your last visit. I'm 65 and never had any problems with any of the Carnival's pool and I have 11 cruises, with 3 on the Vista.

I have been on several Holland America cruises and have been able to walk into the pool.

No sure what you mean by Senior age accessible but I am over 70 and never had a problem getting in or out of any Carnival pool.

Thanks for your review, but I imagine it is always raining where you are. Most cruises are never 100% perfect but you have to find the positives and just have fun.
