Ship Quality

The ship was clean it’s the people who leave stuff around hence food, drinks etc who make it unclean!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Pretty roomy for an inside cabin! The bed was comfortable and the AC was working great!

Ship tip

Book some specialty restaurants and sit on the 12 floor instead of by pool too crowded!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

I would have given it 5 stars but we were late getting into port and the people were just getting antsy plus we had a flight to catch and airport is 1 hour away but we made it!

At Grand Turk if you stay by the pool at Margaritaville are you subject to drink and eat there? Interested in staying by the pool..was thinking of purchasing something at the gift shop but cannot drink due to a medical issue

Love it. Mrs. VISTA was my first ship I ever cruised on in 2017. Back then the cruise director was Matt Mitchum who was voted the best cruise director of the year. Yes, he lived up to the hype and beyond. I have been waiting on her to return to Florida, and now she is back and I will be on her in February. Look forward to seeing Deon if he is still there.
