Review summary

Great time as this was our delayed 10th anniversary cruise that we had to postpone in April due to getting Covid 3 days before the cruise. Will definitely do it again.

We were onboard so quickly, seems we had to catch our breath once on the ship.

Wife loved her fish and chips and my lobster roll was awesome.

Guy's Burger Joint

Great food and the only downside would be that we wished it was open a bit later in the evening.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was always clean and pretty easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was great and our attendant, Richard, was awesome. How can a cruise ship have great hot water and pressure while our hotel the night before be so awful ?

Ship tip

Please be patient at all times. You will meet some great people, along with some that you would hope may miss the ship getting back from their excursions. We chose to go in with an open mind and had a blast.

Great excursion to Isla Passion. Good thing the rude, obnoxious people from another Carnival ship arrived as we were getting ready to head back to the Vista.

Great time on the beach. Drive in the bus was a bit interesting.

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

Galveston is also our yearly beach vacation, so it's kinda like a 2nd home. Lots of construction to upgrade the terminal area and should be great once done.

Didn't do anything but recover from the previous day with my bad hip.
