Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Love Bingo, you gotta go! Got out of my comfort zone and went on the water slides! Just Do It! If you are over 21, you gotta head up to the Serenity Deck! It's were all the Kool Kats hang out!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Kevin Miller the Comedian was the BOMB! Funny, Funny, Funny! You gotta see his show! The Cubana band in the Havana club AWESOME! The Rock of Ages show in the Liquid Lounge was TERRIFIC!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff you encounter are ALWAYS friendly, helpful and truly concerned with making everything perfect for you the minute you step on the ship, all the way up to the moment you step off!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the fact that the Vista's decks were for the most part the same as the Panorama's making getting around the ship pretty darn EASY!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size of my room is perfect for the amount of time I spend in it. Having a window to gaze out of as we were at sea, made the trip all the more enjoyable! Room was clean and well stocked!

Ship tip

call room service every evening to schedule coffee in your room for the next morning! No need to get to the Barista on Deck 5! Enjoying an early morning cup of coffee in your jammies, who could ask for more!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
I arrived 2 days early to get a chance to see Galveston and I LOVED it!!! Can't wait to go back!

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Christopher's Tours is Total Top Notch! Getting to visit with Sloths, Monkeys and Parrots at AJ's Monkeys & Sloths was Terrific! Zip lining through the jungle with Nick and his crew from Pirates of the Caribbean was so Invigorating, didn't want it to end! Snorkeling off the coast with Javier and his crew in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef just off the beach at Christopher's beach takes your breath away, that was followed by lunch prepared by Chris' family topped off the day to INCREDIBLE! (had I had my passport, I wouldn't returned to the ship!)

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Clayton & Mark with Splash Wave Tours were Phenom! Taking a river cruise up the river and seeing Manatees, Crocs, Turtles, Bats, Monkeys and lots of shore birds, was an opportunity of a lifetime. Garrette took us to the Altun Ha Mayan Ruins and he is SO very knowledgeable about the Mayan people and their culture! Worth the trip!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Julio & Marcos took us to some of the most beautiful cenotes and wonderful lunch with Tequila tasting! Julio is very knowledgeable and a GREAT tour guide!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Just as EASY getting off the ship as it was getting on!

Traveler Photos

Zip Lining over a Cenote...can you say INCREDIBLE! Yep! there's a croc in the river! Altun Ha Mayan Ruins, breath taking! On Top of the Temple of Sun God in Altun Ha Ruins Cenotes & Zip Lining what an AWESOME Combo! Esther at AJ's Monkeys & Sloths being a Photo Princess Beautiful day for some snorkeling!
