Carnival Vista Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Been on several cruise lines, all are great - but Carnival is my all-time favorite!

We enjoyed our vacation. Sure there were many things that could've been better but overall we still had a great time!

Had a great cruise and fully intend to do another one with Carnival. The only negative experience was our stop in Ochos Rios. The people there was awful. Rude, threatening and nasty. Will never go to Jamaica again. Now I understand why so many people told me it is an awful place. Luckily Cozumel and Grand Cayman were wonderful.

Will not go on Vista again, very disappointed mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This was out 7th cruise on Carnival 1st on Vista. She was a little rough to navigate but a very entertaining trip. Cruise director and crew very personable.... Best cruise ever

The cruise itself was fun but it was extremely disappointing to pay so much money only to see the same musical this year (February 2020) as last year (February 2019)

Overall a good trip. Not that impressed with the ship itself. Don't think I'd sale out of Galveston again.

This was our least favorite ship. Our room was disgusting on arrival and required the supervisors to be called. They blew us off until the next day saying it was late and tomorrow they would clean it. Luckily, my husband cleaned and sprayed our room so I could stand to stay in it bc of the sewage odor that they even acknowledged. The breakfast room service was horrible. I even poured cereal out of my coffee pitcher one morning and room service would bring incorrect orders. Staff was not as friendly as usual. Carnival disappointed on the Vista. Oh, and if you don't smoke you still get to inhale smoke in the shop areas. And if you want to avoid the casino and smoke on the 4th floor to get to shops or restaurants you must go up a level then back down. Just a bad floor plan unless you enjoy smelling like smoke.

We have a 17, 16 and 10 year old. They loved the cruise and we would def sail Vista again! Great first experience

Cruise Director SCHWARTZ was AWESOME! He rally made this cruise great especially in times of bad weather and uncertainty. He made everyone comfortable and kept it light and fun.

The Havana area and the food were definitely the deal breakers for me. The food was excellent and the Havana area sucked me into staying there most of the day. Rest of the ship was packed but still had a great time. The lounge chairs go fast.

This was our first cruise. My family want to do another next year instead of going to a resort. They all voted in favor of the ship. Love seeing and hearing the ocean at all times. Felt very safe and cared for on the ship. Thanks Carnival.

The week was lots of fun. I enjoyed the weather and food was great. The lido deck was good but the pizza need some more sauce. In the evening only one guy worked so he had a lot of people in line. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the pool had an bad smell after it was clean. I didn’t use it at all. My room was always kept clean. I enjoyed the staff Monica at the dinner time. And I loved the cruise director he was great

We have sailed five carnival ships and each one is a bit different, Vista is a beautiful ship with plenty to offer. Modern, clean and something for everyone. Was unsure of all the reviews about the “layout” being a negative. Yes it is a little unique compared to other ships, however , if you get to know the layout you will see that it’s a different design so that it’s not just like every other ship. The limelight lounge was at the end of the corridor and we did not think it would hold the crowd for comedy shows but we were wrong. It was huge and held the crowds well and the exits were easy to use. Will sail her again soon.

Best cruise ship with the best food and Swartz was a great Cruise Director! Will definitely cruise on her again! Definitely a cruise to remember!

Always fun and enjoyable. Love the improvements. TV, phot area, Need some more exciting back drops and poses. After 17 cruises or so it gets old. Love cruising and 💯

Overall, was a great experience. Have already booked another cruise on the vista for Feb 2021 (different itinerary). Hopefully the Rona doesn’t rain on our parade.

The ships staff were knowledgeable and very kind. The ship was constantly being cleaned and our stateroom was always maintained. The only thing needs improvement in my opinion is that the buffet food on Lido deck was always cold so I rarely ate the buffet food

Loved this cruise had a wonderful time. Carnival need to vent the casino better the smoke in the halls and some dining places were bad.

Overall we had a great cruise, the first sea day was very windy but not unexpected for this time of year out of Galveston. The last sea day, which was Valentine's Day, was chilly and wet most of the day but we had fun inside.
