Carnival Vista Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Our family took a spring break getaway on a Carnival Vista cruise ship and we enjoyed every minute of it. We loved the ship, food, and friendly service. We especially enjoyed activities onboard such as skyride, rope climbing, water slides, and the wonderful views from the ship. We loved our room, very clean and comfortable. We had a great time with our family each port that we stopped at like half moon cay, grand turks, and amber cove. Great atmosphere anywhere we went, couldn’t be better. We’re all so very grateful to God for this trip and we will remember it. Thank you!

As first time cruisers, we had a great experience. We enjoyed exploring the ship, and meeting the wonderful staff.

Overall, I would say it was a pretty amazing week. We had no water on embarkation day from about 5pm thru 1am, which was not the best way to begin a cruise. I'm glad they got it working again. The shows were ok, but could use improvement as far as talent level for a few of the performers. Food was good, but they need a few more options for the late night people and more workers to provide those services. Waiters were amazing at dinner. Rooms were great size and cleaned promptly. For the money, it was a nice and relaxing week!

Enjoyed ourselves so much, that we have begun looking for a cruise for next year. The Carnival panoramic sets sail Feb 9 out of Los Angeles (Long Beach) to Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Magellan is what we are looking for.

This is my 5th Carnival cruise with my family including 2 kids under 10. This is the first time they were old enough to really appreciate the cruise and they had a blast! The included food was great, no need to spend extra on the specialty restaurants. Pizza and frozen yogurt were available almost 24hrs/day, which was great for the kids if they did not like the buffet food for any particular day. The 4 ports of call were terrific. We would not mind doing another cruise with the same ports and try different excursions. The onboard shows and the cruise director were awesome!

Overall, this was a great cruise, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Carnival is a wonderful, family-oriented, fun cruise that is always our preferred! Their staff is always friendly!

Overall the cruise was good. It wasnt a fancy ship but the food and staff was awesome!! I prolly wouldn't go on this ship again cause I like the ship's to have a grand appearance inside.

Entertainment - Musicians excellent except for the country duo, really terrible. Best piano bar entertainer - Roger. Shows good with lots of energy but choreography hit or miss and performers good but not up to Princess or Holland America standard. Food much better than last Carnival cruise last summer - Carnival continues to come back.

It had been 13 years since we cruised and this experience was wonderful. Hope to cruise with Carnival again. Grand Turk was our favorite port and it was absolutely beautiful.

I never write reviews. I literally cried on vacation. What a horrible merry Christmas, happy birthday and anniversary to me. I will never cruise on carnival again. Their cleaniless, level of customer service and lack of maintenance on the boat is absolutely appauling. Carnival should be ashamed. From empty hand sanitizer stations all throughout the boat on day of arrival to me having to clean my own state world because it was filthy after their third attempt to clean it. Staff swinging red Hazardous bags and hitting kids with them as staff squeezes through tight crowds. Refusing to provide a kids menu or even verbally proving options in the main dining hall. Hair throughout the dining areas. Staff swishing Fur balls of hair from one side of area to the next. Two nights of a constant loud pitching, sounds from 2 AM to 4:30 AM. Broken bathroom threshold that my daughter tripped over along with the broken refrigerator that ruined her medication Broken gym equipment the entire eight days - not once was any of it labeled out of service. Staff member coughing while serving drinks, not once covered his mouth. Servers wiping the tables, counters , and floors with the same cleaning rag. Those are just a few things that came to mind. I can go on but I just want to stop reliving this horrible experience. Please just find another cruise line.

If you ever use Carnival, get on a new boat and if you ever have issues just assume they will do nothing to make the trip better but say sorry a lot. Best advice I can give is never ever use Carnival. Worst trip I have ever taken and not sure if I would even take a free trip from Carnival. Save your money or book with another cruise line.

This was a birthday celebration trip. Loved the vibes and the food. Will try again just hopes the weather is better.

carnival needs to decide who to cater as over half on the ship was 40 or better

Too many people with not enough to do. It Sucked!!!

This was a nice cruise that focused on enjoying the thermal suite more than the ports. Good food, nice entertainment, and a talented cruise director, Lawrence.

All was nice can't wait to see the Vista after the renovation and hopefully the casino is less smoky

nice cruise to interesting ports. Great service on board ship

Nice cruise, entertainment and food could have been much better

We were a group of 7 people. Most of us had a good time. My husband and I did not because of his injuries. We feel that Carnival is responsible for his accident because of the height of the threshhold. I think Carnival owes us a cruise.
