Carnival Vista Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Had a great time on the Vista, staff was outstanding, no complaints about the food, entertainment was great and beer was cold. Only complaint is the seating in the Liquid Lounge where the shows take place. Hard to find a good seat where you can actually see the entire show.

Vista is such a beautiful ship. Very clean. So much to do on there. The Italian restaurant (called Cucina Del Capitano) was so delicious. I recommend trying it. The Horizon Dining Room was good. Vista was my 11th Carnival Cruise. This was the best of them all. We had the best cabin steward in Carnival’s fleet. His name was Kurniawan. He went out of way many times. The IMAX Theater and Seaside Theater was so cool. Can’t wait to go back on this ship.

The Vista was great. We stayed in the Family Harbor area. I highly recommend this. We had a suite next door where all of our food and snacks were brought to us. There were big screen TVs and video games for kids. The ropes course and skyride were a lot of fun for our kids. Between the sports park and water slides, we were always on the go. Deck 5 is full of places to hang out, but be sure to walk on the outer deck. We enjoyed hanging out on the outdoor part of the pub. Wait staff was great and we enjoyed the sushi place. The Havana Bar was fantastic. I found a new love of Latin music. I have made it a goal to learn some of the Spanish language before my next cruise because I enjoyed this music, the people, and the culture a lot. We found our way to the Havanah Bar for Latin music almost every night. The entertainment was on point and the everything was just great. I do miss the grand atriums that are no longer present on this class of ship, but that is a minor thing compared to all the fun we had. In 6 days, we couldn’t do it all. I highly recommend.

Me encanto el barco en general. La diversidad de actividades que tiene, la comida, los restaurantes. El servicio fue espectacular, las personas que trabajan alli siempre estan atentas a todos los detalles y dispuestas a ayudar. Pienso que hacen un exelente trabajo.

Great 6 night cruise the food was better than I usually expect from Carnival. Entertainment Pros Plenty of activities The Hasta la Vista band the the brass band. Great parties GREAT NIGHT MOVIES Cons Singing in the Main theater was a "C" at best. A few female singers were yelling instead of singing and we off tune during harmonies. We love the shows on other cruise lines but these can be skipped. The rendition of Donna summers was an insult to her. It's obvious that the electronic bingo is rigged. Food. Pros Carnival has improved their food selections the Buffet was delicious. Mongolian Wok Pasta station Chefs Table Ice cream Cons The lines were too long to get the cheap pizza. Elevators ALL CONS We had over 4800 guest on board. The elevator waits were the longest I have ever seen from any cruise. We would have wasted our whole cruise waiting on elevators. I used it as a time to exercise. At times we walked 8 to 9 decks just to avoid waiting 15 to 20 minutes. SIDE NOTE This is not the time to let all of your kids run wild and free. This is what cheapens Carnivals brand.

My staff in the dining room was awesome Hendra Nyoman and especially Eka made the trip the best

We had a wonderful time! On this cruise I noticed positive relationships between the crew members. There was laughter, I saw crew members eating meals and I saw one person taking a nap on the Lido. I saw many having conversations that didn’t seem work related. Many probably didn’t notice, but to me that indicates that the crew was not unhappy and encouraged to have friendships. We have been on a cruise where the staff engaged in arguments. Not on this ship. Okay the director Matt was very welcoming and full of energy. There is a great deal to do on the ship and off the ship. The food does repeat from cruise to cruise but we were good with it and enjoyed the food. We ate on the Lido for most of our meals. We loved the itinerary. If you are expecting the staff to fall all over you and rub your feet without asking and cater to your ever whim, this ship is not for you. However you can get a foot rub and be catered to. The staff is nice and helpful though. You can have what you want and do what you want on this ship! I could go on and on. To end it, go on this ship and have a ball. Don’t let anything big or small ruin your fun!

I have cruised 7 times to include Royal Caribbean and Norwegian . This was by far the most entertaining cruise. My room steward “Komang” was outstanding!!! He far exceeded my expectations!!! The director “Matt” was awesome! Great personality, great stage presence. And fine!!!!!!!!. The entertainment was the best I’ve seen on any of my cruises most of the food was good but, the dining room food okay...I’ve hade better.

My favorite part about this cruise was the fun ship squad! Matt, the cruise director, was by far the best one I have ever had! I don't think I have ever had as much fun during shows until him. Jammin James was my second favorite fun ship squad member. I love to play bingo and he definitely made bingo the best ever! His jokes were hilarious and I loved how much he interacted with the guest throughout the games and made them laugh.

I had so much fun I would love to do it all over again.

The Vista is a large ship with a medium ship feel, didn't have long lines for food or for entertainment.

Good News: We enjoyed the activities onboard the ship. Bad News: The pools are too small for the amount of people using them. Therefore, we had to come back early from Grand Turk to be able to use one of the pools. Only that one time was there room to get in. We had a balcony and I would definitely get a balcony the next time too.

Beautiful ship!! So many activities and fun things to do for people of all ages! Multiple dining options for lunch and dinner along with fantastic shows in the lounge! Try the thrill theater level 3, it will scare you like you’ve never been before. Beautiful ports of call and fantastic cruise director Matt. Really going to miss the Vista.

For this to be our first cruise I must say that not only was the great weather on our side but we enjoyed everything about our Cruise. The Cruise Entertainment Director Matt was a great guy and made sure he entertain the ppl in the cruise.

Total abandonment for passangers. There was a relaxation mode like no other.

The entire cruise was fantastic. Being a captive onboard with little contact to the outside world, there should have been a more diversified selection of news.

The ports were great. I enjoyed everything about the cruise except for the size of my room. It was too small for 3 people. In my past experience I had a room to myself. I had no idea that I would have the same size room for 3 people or I would have upgraded. It was very tight and there wasn’t enough room for all of us to unpack our clothes.

This was our first cruise we took and it was outstanding. The service from the crew was top notch they helped you find where you wanted to go and did anything and everything to make the cruise an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Matt as the cruise director was the best he was entertaining especially with the Love and Marriage show and his deck parties. I will most certainly cruise with Carnival again!!

We had a blast sailing on the Vista. We only wish there were fewer people and less of a push to sell you something behind every door.

This is my 3rd time on the Visita but it's not my favorite ship. this time I went with a group of friends.
