Carnival Vista Cruise Reviews - Reviews

There are many positives to this cruise. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were good, lots of options. Beds and pillows are comfortable. We loved all 3 ports we visited, although I wished we had a little more time at each. We enjoyed all the shows we attended. As a negative, the embarking and disembarking was not great. Very long lines and tightly crammed in small spaces with other people at times. Elevator lines were so long we walked up the stairs to get to our rooms which was 6 decks up. This is a party cruise, if you are looking for relaxation, this probably isn’t the cruise for you.

I am already looking to book my next cruise. Hopefully my wife will be able to attend this time it was not much of a honeymoon without her because the documentation problem. We will try again soon. I do plan to take advantage of the Captains offer for a tour & will bring my uniform for the formal night

I would suggest choosing another ship as the Vista needs to be retired. There is to much wrong with it. The 2 pools are very small.

I expected better and more from Carnival Vista. I got spoiled by Holland America. I didn't expect all of the rude kids and people! The dirty dishes left all over the place. The Staff seemed run down. The bars were great and the ports were amazing except Aruba.

This is one of my favorite sizes and class of ships. It has a good variety of things to do and places to eat and drink. The Lido deck can get very busy and crowded but that is to be expected. We always found a seat at the activities and shows we wanted to attend. A July trip to the Caribbean is very hot and humid but the ports are beautiful and Half Moon Cay is one of my favorite places to spend time in the ocean and at the beach.

If you are looking to stay active, Carnival is your cruise line. The Vista has plenty to do. The food and options aren't the best, but is good enough.

We had a fantastic time celbrating our 20 year Anniversary on Carnival. It was laid back and relaxing. We only wish the food was better.

This cruise had both positive and negative aspects as with anything in life. We really enjoyed our dinners each evening and being able to use the app to check in. We also enjoyed going to the piano bar and the different shows. If you don't like crowds, then just save yourself the trouble and don't go on this cruise ship. I thought since it was a bigger ship, it would not feel as crowded but it did. Also, the ports of call weren't as "tropical" as I was expecting. I should have done more research because there were no beaches within walking distance. It was at least a 30 minute drive to even get to a beach. I enjoyed spending time with my family. It had been about 10 years since we had gone and a cruise. It will probably be another 10 before I go back. I will definitely choose a smaller ship next time. It may have fewer bells and whistles but that also means fewer people and maybe actually having a shot at getting a seat by the pool.

Good family cruise! We enjoyed it...definitely some highs and lows as described above.

Overall we had a blast. The staff was amazing, and the activities were fun! Having a daily schedule was great and the app was very helpful in keeping us in the know.

The food was definitely a downgrade from past experience, except for the Fahrenheit restaurant, that was still amazing. The odors of sewage were evident on the Lido Deck especially toward the aft end. Carnival can do much better.

I think there should be a welcome bag in the cabin, maybe lanyard and water bottles are a good start.

Great and fun! Shows are great! Food is pretty good! Pools are overcrowded! Ship too hot!

Overall it was a great time. Family had a good time. Staff was wonderful

We chose the Carnival Vista for our Mom & Daughter cruise! We wanted a stress free vacation to celebrate high school graduation and time together before everyone is off doing their own thing. As first time cruisers, we had an absolute blast! The weather was great, the ports were exciting, onboard dining and activities were amazing. Perfect vacation!

The cruise was absolutely amazing. So many activities nightly. Staff were all amazing. Cleaning constantly. I would definitely recommend.

The cruise had it's positives and negatives, unfortunately more negatives for this specific cruise. We still suggest Carnival just out of a different port and a different cruise ship.

Overall there was so much to enjoy and so much to just admire the beauty you see. I loved it and cannot wait to do it again.

Carnival Cruises cater to every traveler. Our days at sea were exceptional. Thank you Captain Pablo for smooth sailing. Our cruise director, Marty, was fun. Thank you to the unsung heroes of the cruise, all the workers we saw and didn't see, you made our trip so enjoyable.

First cruise and it was a blast. I worked out every AM and got in my 10,000 steps and still gained 10 lbs the food was so good! Loved everything about it. GREAT staff.
