Carnival Vista Cruise Reviews - Tips

Take the time to enjoy everything-there is so much to enjoy-check it all out!!!

Give yourself time to get to know the ship, it is a larger ship than we were used to.

Carnival is the fun ship and more for younger people. Not our favorite cruise line but it was overall a very nice ship.

Plan to have a great time Ride the Skyride terrific Have fun Relax JUST ENJOY

Don’t Miss Guy’s Burger Joint!

The Ocean Plaza, Serenity Deck, and Red Frog Pub are great places to hang out. The BBQ restaurant is open for lunch outside of ocean plaza.

Do the SkyRide!

Study the floor plans beforehand. Ignore bad reviews experience it for yourself.

Try to get a room on midship and middle of the decks as they wait on almost all the elevators is rather long.

Study the layout as Vista's can be confusing.

Learn the layout, saves you time.

Study floor plan before going. Ignore bad reviews. Travel the length on deck 5 instead of going through casino.

Cruise on her and form your own opinion! You won’t regret it!!

Don’t miss out on going to the front of the ship on the 5th floor. It is an incredible view.

Take the behind the scenes tour it’s well worth it. You can only sign up for it once you were on board so do it early before all the spots are taken

Be prepared to take the stairs a lot. Even though there are elevators they are slow and tend to be full. It was much faster for us to just take the stairs to get up and down on the decks of the ship.

Relax and enjoy every moment while you are not at home!

If you like to drink and you can get the drink package.

You will have fun. Know this one thing, this is not an "all inclusive" vacation. Be prepared to spend for drinks, and some extras dining.

If you’re doing anytime dining, or having to because other options were fully booked, you should be warned that even if there is two of you and you asked not be seated with other people, their version of not sitting with other people is a two person table next to another two person table about 2-3ft away from you, and then a 4 person table 2-3 feet away from that table. Not allowing for personal/private conversations to stay private, sadly.
