Carnival Vista Cruise Reviews - Tips

Great for kids! Pay for the Cat and the Hat breakfast experience.

Purchase the alcohol package, without drinks are WAY to expensive. Also child care for under 2 children is difficult to manage on this specific ship. Not many KID friendly activities for younger kids. Great time otherwise !

Choose a smaller ship

Check out the piano bar.

Two in my party did the bike and water slide, loved them

Relax, enjoy! Don’t sweat the small

Reserve steakhouse in advance

Have an open mind when sailing on the Vista if you've never sailed on a Dream class ship before. It's design is different, but we found it to be so convenient for the theater, lobby, photo place, and where we played trivia. We love the ship now - and this was our 5th time on the Vista.

Money trumps all. If you want nice or above average you need a thick wallet for sure

Prepare to have FUN!

Don't forget to visit Guy's Pig and Anchor down near Ocean Plaza. It's hidden & only open during lunch hours, so it's easy to miss.

Excellent entertainment❗️Cruise director Schwartz was hilarious ❗️

I would tell somebody that if you want breakfast on a day that you are in port you should go to the Ocean Plaza for the buffett. There was never a line and while the options were not the same as the Lido Marketplace it was still very good.

Endless fun!

Get the Havana cabins!

I've never had seaday brunch on any ships but it was delicious on the Vista their French toast was huge and steak and eggs was awesome, so definitely try that. And because Fabolous elevators if you only have to go up one floor then definitely take the stairs

Made your specialty restaurant reservations way ahead of the cruise

The balconies on deck 9 have a nice little overhang of deck 10. This allows you to sit on the deck at any time of day without getting brutally hot. It just slightly blocks the direct sunlight.

My advice is to get the drink package if you like to have a drink with each meal or if you are traveling with young adults. Individual drinks are pricey and the drink package is more efficient.

You will have to carve out time to relax if you want to be part of all they have to offer!
