Review summary

Overall a good cruise but it seems Carnival cannot get this ships propulsion problems resolved. Carnival at least on this ship can't figure out debarkation. A terrible chaotic mess, we had priority express and got off the ship a little after twelve o'clock. We will never, ever sail Vista again and maybe never Carnival as well.

This was the worst case we have seen in forty years of cruising. We had priority express where we take off our on luggage. We had not got out of the liquid lounge when they began calling numbers for guests to leave. Bottle necked traffick everywhere..
