Review summary

Vista is a wonderful ship for cruising. Can’t wait for it to come out of dry dock. Looking forward to her new look.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Parking at port day of embarkation was terrible. Construction and limited parking at terminal caused major issues. Barely got parking when we arrived at 9:45. Then there was a delay getting on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

They never opened all buffet lines which caused long lines for buffets. Most of the time only had two lines open. Other venues like the Deli, Guy’s Burgers and pizza had lines but not much of a wait.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Enjoyed the movies on the Lido.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room steward was really great. Took care of everything we asked for.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
