Review summary

A great first time experience being in the Caribbeans.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Embarkation process took a long time, mainly because it was during Covid Times and my Husband and I had to take a Covid Test to be cleared to board the ship. I think the process time took over 2 hours.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet on Lido is always pretty mediocre in my opinion. MDR is pretty great usually but this trip, I wasn't really enjoying the food there. I didn't like what was being served. Steak House is always Amazing! We go there at least twice a Cruise. We also enjoy eating at the Blue Iguana, Guy's Burger Joint, The Pizzeria & the BBQ spot too.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We usually enjoy the Hot Tubs a couple nights during the week. One of my favorite things to do is look off at the back of the ship and watch the water turn a different shade of blue. Its so beautiful 😍

Entertainment

5 out of 5
My Husband and I enjoy going to the R-rated Comedy Shows. We saw a movie in the Theater which was pretty cool and a couple dive in movies too. We also like hearing some of the other music performers around the ship. We also enjoy some of the live shows that Kyndall Fire hosted (She's the Best CD) like the Love & Marriage Show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had an Interior room. My Steward was fantastic. I really enjoy all the towel animals they made for us. All the staff were very nice and helpful. Our favorites were the Alchemists at the Alchemy Bar. πŸ’™

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Vista is a Beautiful Ship. When we first got on the ship, it took us about a day and a half to find our way around without getting lost. Overall, the ship was very well maintained and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Basic size for an interior cabin, it was decent enough.

Ship tip

Have Fun! Live in the moment with the people you're with and the people you will meet! πŸ’™

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We went to a local beach, gorgeous water. We walked around and explored the area a little bit and bought some souvenirs and then went back to the ship. It was kind of boring in my opinion.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5
We went to a nearby beach. It was gorgeous but constantly being harassed by locals to buy w e e d was really annoying. I definitely wouldn't go back to that area of Jamaica.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We went to Paradise Beach. The place was FANTASTIC. The pool was Amazing. The Beach was beautiful. The drinks and food were Excellent. The time flew by so quickly though, I wish the Port time was longer. πŸ’”

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Texas.... it's Awesome πŸ’œπŸ˜

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Getting off the ship was crazy, the floors and elevators were flooded with people trying to leave. It wasn't organized very well. It was a couple hours before the herd got us thru and off the Ship.
