Wonderful! Beautiful islands! by tbakken

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Southern

Our trip was wonderful! We enjoyed the Vista. It wasn’t as fancy as some of the other ships we have been on. I was disappointed in the dining room I always loved seeing the beautiful chandeliers and the rooms were very plain. Also missed the glass elevators it just adds something to the promanade. But we enjoyed our trip very much.

Vista - Large, but not in charge by kdfandkef

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Staff was marvelous, despite Carnival not having adequate staff to handle the amount of vacationers. The ship itself was less than impressive. Cruise Director Schwartz was great. Ernesto was wonderful and attentive.

Relaxing Cruise by cjscaptain

Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We travel to Miami and order to sale on the Vista we are going on the horizon from Barcelona in April hoping some of the things are a little different on that ship. We love the carnival atmosphere and look forward to many more cruises

Not a pleasant trip by iiaguie

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Southern

I don't think I will be traveling on Carnival again. The food was horrible and the organization was never there. Ship was dirty and overall a bad experience.

Beautiful Caribbean Cruise! by njwagoner03

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Southern

The Vista is a very nice ship. Layout is very similar to the other Carnival ships, so it's nice that if you have traveled on Carnival before it doesn't seem like you have to learn an entirely new ship and feels comfortable. Still lots of fun exploring and things offered to do.

1st Time Cruising by cswann501

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Southern

Ship left a lot later than we were supposed too which made for a very rocky 1st night and day. I feel like we should have been compensated. Food in the main dining was very bland

Best so far! by spsurles

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Western

T3 beautiful, tropical ports on a ship that takes 3 Days to really see in its entirety. Expensive, but satisfying. Lots of opportunity for romantic experiences and outdoor or indoor activities.

Not what I expected by baker51572

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Western

I had sailed on the Vista in February and had a wonderful time so I was super excited to take my daughter and family back. Well I got a huge disappointment!!!!!!!!!!! So many cut backs, lack luster food options ( unless you want to pay for the up charge) very limited pool music, unsupervised children running all over the ship and water park, unsupervised kids screaming in the pool during "Movie under the stars". Men smoking cigars wherever they wanted. Just all around RUDE people. So sad

50/50 by angelkeim

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Room was to small. Food was very good. Atrium was lousy, looks like it should be in Kmart. No wow factor. Seafood shack was good. Staff is excellent. Very friendly. Clean ship. Nice lido deck. Sky ride is fun. Water slide is great. Carnival breeze is a nicer looking ship. Shows were nothing to scream about.

Disappointed by misadventures

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Western

After the first day and a half we realized that we needed to make the best of the situation to enjoy our trip because it wasn't going well in the beginning so despite the food and service we had a good time finding things to do that we did enjoy doing. It wasn't worth what I spent. We may not Cruise with carnival again there were plenty of carnival loyalists on board but carnival wasn't for us as well as the clientele that was on board.

Wonderful Caribbean Cruise by slucky44

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Due to all the hurricanes that were going on at the time of our trip we were not able to go to the original places we had for the cruise. We went to other places and I must say they were all very nice. The only port I did not enjoy was La Romana in the Dominican Republic. Very dirty and was a sore site. I understand the Island has its issues, but that port should be cleaned up to make it want to entice people to look forward to visiting that area.

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Western

overall I enjoyed my cruise experience, we look forward to traveling with Carnival again. I hope that some of the information regarding the daily activities would be made available a bit earlier so that we could plan ahead.

Beautiful ship but not my most tranquil experiance by clydeloreng

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Southern

I don't know if we'd ever try carnival again. No apologies for anything at all. I feel they owed us some recompense for the lack of the port but we haven't heard a word. We had bad experiences with carnivals paper thin walls and people out of control from too much party. In a previous sailing We also witnessed a death on board below our balcony in a hot tub. It was terrible, they keep trying to resuscitate the man to no avail. Nothing said to us about that either. We were hurried off that ship at disembarkation. It ruined our whole experiance of that cruise. But with a new ship and long time between sailings we thought we'd try again. The only thing I can say, you are now educated as to sailing this ship.

Wonderful ship to cruise on! by Ilovevacas

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Southern

I would love to sail on this ship again. Not hurricane season. I would choose different ports. I would also suggest cleaning rooms twice a day. Bringing only carry ones and backpack was wonderful on and off ship.

Not Impressed with Carnival Vista! by meranda2006

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Vista / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Not Impressed with Carnival Vista! I rather try other ships beside this one! Would love to see what the Breeze has to offer! But anyway the cruise director is who made the Vista! He was a blast!
