I expected better and more from Carnival Vista. I got spoiled by Holland America. I didn't expect all of the rude kids and people! The dirty dishes left all over the place. The Staff seemed run down. The bars were great and the ports were amazing except Aruba.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The Main Dining Room was EXCELLENT. Food was good-some was prepared but most of it wasn't which was very disappointing. The BUFFETS were all PRE-MADE Food which was gross and disgusting.
We had an amazing Bar and Bartender at the Vista Atrium. Kim was amazing with the drinks!

Ship Quality
2 out of 5
Poor designed-we had to use the Stairs more than the elevators. The Unruly kids were constantly in the elevators pushing all of the buttons for all floors, turning off the elevators.
Common Areas- not cleaned enough-people would leave dirty dishes and cups everyone on the floors and common areas.
The ship should of been cleaned better.
Children threw up and pooped in the pools-Lido Desk and the Back pool-they were NOT DRAINED AND CLEANED AT ALL or even Closed!!! The Hot Tubs never were cleaned.
Cabin / Stateroom

Very nice size, cleaned and comfort. Our room Steward SU was EXCELLENT!!! My husband LOVED the bed!!! Love how we had a view of the sunrise each morning from our Balcony.
Ship tip
The FOOD is all PREPARED and heated up. It was disgusting and messed with everyone's stomachs. Be prepared for Unruly Teens that ran up and down the hallways, screaming and yelling, constantly sitting on the steps, breaking and destroying lights and other items. Their Parents didn't care! dishes and ect.
LOVED this Port, took a Scenic Tram Tour and it was the BEST! Shopped at the local shops next to the ship, ate at a local restaurant and hung out there. The people were so friendly and Amazing!! This is now my new FAVORITE Island!!!
Grand Turk is one of my FAVORITE Islands and very happy to see the massive Growth they have had! 10+ years ago it was only 3 buildings and now there are so many of them! Houses, stores, vehicles, homes and even a Hospital.
Margaritaville was AMAZING and love the improvements and changes they made! We loved the food and drinks plus the POOL!!! Loved the shops and everything. Just wished we had more time there, we missed going to the Beach.
