Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Fantastic! Our main dining room with my time dining we were able to reserve the same table all week at the same time with I Kadek and his crew! He and his staff (Katherine) made the trip amazing!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
SkyRide, waterslides and fitness centers were perfect for our crew.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
A lot of fun but have seen better entertainers and comedians (first 3 days) in the shows on other Carnival ships. However, the guitarist and violin players were A-mazing!!! Roger in the piano bar was a lot of fun! Hoping he learns the SouthPark song before our next cruise ;)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Supina was our room steward - knew who we were from day 1 and never forgot! Our waiters were great but the best was our dining room staff (Ikadek and Katherine and crew!).

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Carnival Vista is my new favorite ship. Having just come out of dry dock, it was clean and well layed out.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect! Only thing I wish I had brought to make it better for organization was magnetic hooks for drying bathing suits and necklaces.

Ship tip

The violin players are a must see!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

Flew in and staight to the port.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

2 out of 5
Was expecting more, but the sun was shining so we made the most of it. We also thought drinks were included with the ships drink package but they were not.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Great stop! Water is beautiful, the type of landscape I like on the beach (rough sand and rocky) and the beach was not too full.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Took advantage of staying on the ship since we visited this island in December.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We got off with the early crew for our flight and it was seamless!
