Review summary

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

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We were priority, so the embarkation process was fast and smooth.

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

5 out of 5

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

2 out of 5

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.
