This was our annual vacation. We have been to all ports of call and are familiar with them. This was our first time on the Vista. Overall, we had a great vacation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Overall, the food was good on this ship. I did have to send dishes back in the main dining room due to temperature issues. Also, the steakhouse menu was modified on this ship. I don't know if this change is specific to the ship or throughout the fleet.

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent customer service onboard the Vista! Our room steward was amazing!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful design and decorations. The only critique I have was the size/location of the sports bar. It was always overflowing into the hallway making it overcrowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Storage was an issue for an 8 day cruise and 2 people in the stateroom. The design and size was fine.

Ship tip

This ship has had continuous mechanical issues; be prepared.

Disembarkation

Due to mechanical issues and getting back late, disembarking was a mess. Everyone was rushing to get off the ship making the process really congested and slow.
