Carnival Vista Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Again the food and service in the dining room were great except for one night, which was terrible. One of the servers Joey was outstanding. All the other crew members were very friendly and hard working.

Overall a good cruise, with great food and friends

Our family had never been on a cruise before and we were concerned about motion sickness and rumors that we had heard. Not one of us five got sick or had any reaction even when the Atlantic Sea was rough! Because of how great the staff were, how beautiful the scenery was, and how awesome the accommodations were on the Carnival Vista, our family agrees we need to cruise again!! We had such an amazing experience with Carnival, we will definitely cruise with them again!!! Words cannot express the great family vacation we had! THANK YOU CARNIVAL VISTA!!!!!

Crowded, not enough common spaces to accommodate people. Staff not attentive to passengers, seemed inefficient, especially at deli, long lines to get good, long wait to get food in fine dining, orders not always correct, didn’t seem to bother staff, didn’t participate in any activities-large crowds, need new and different activities, always trying to sell something in many of them, always long lines for customer service issues, big clue

This was a great cruise and some of the best ports. Had food options been better I would have been happier, but always enough options that I was never hungry.

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!

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.

The cruise was very relaxing and met most of my expectations. I will try other Carnival fleets. The staff was courteous and kind. The restaurant food was great except crème Brule should be served warm not cold. There was plenty of activity for whatever you wanted to do. This was my mother and my first cruise and we made memories and enjoyed the journey.

I spent way to many hours trying to purchase Fast to the fun. Carnival better reevaluate how many people can get in elevators and emergency vessels. With the obesity of the sailors there is no way 18 people can get in the elevators and I'm sure the people to weight ratio will leave someone on the sinking ship!!!

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!

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.

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

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

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.
