Good time back cruising 1st time after 4 years. Met nice friends, enjoyed new port of Amber Cove and activities on the Carnival Vista. Loved mountains and the ocean views!

Dining room was good but buffet lines were long and the food was not great. Better options outside near pool. Did appreciate the specialty restaurants open during at sea days included for all.

Ship tip
Be ready to stand in line for embarking, disembarking, and the muster station self service is confusing. Must use your phone to check in on hub. I was hoping to disconnect from phone but forced to use the hub.
Beautiful color of water. Brought our own snorkeling equipment and enjoyable. Lots of free lounge chairs, some broken. Recommend going to right whale Beach. Shopping expensive.
Love the muster process. We go straight to our muster station, check-in and then the fun begins. Glad that you enjoyed your cruise. I agree about having to use phone. Our phones used to go into the safe.
