We had a grand time. The only downside was the unseasonable heat which was beyond control. Best ships crew I've ever experienced.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick and efficient. As we'd upgraded to a Penthouse Suite we enjoyed the special checkin line. Our bags were delivered quickly.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We never did use the buffet line but dined in all of the specialty restaurants. The service outstanding and the food was good. I can't say the food was out of this world, but it was as good as I've had on any ship. I try to remember that it has to appeal to a vast range of palates.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
While I only used the spa pools at the Vitality Center, everything looked excellent. Loved high tea.
Entertainment
We just weren't interested in the shows. On the other hand, the string duo during tea time was lovely.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone on ship was outstanding, particularly our butler Titus and housekeeper Ishtar. So pleasant and incredibly attentive to detail.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Most beautiful ship I've ever been on and I've cruised with Royal, NCL, Holland and Celebrity.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The bead was AMAZING and beautifully appointed. The layout was lovely and the storage above anything I've ever seen. The bathroom and dressing area was roomy and full of detail.
Ship tip
None I can think of. I would sail with Vista again.
Great write up. The Vista is a beautiful ship and laid out nicely. I believe the Allura will be the same, and updates are coming to their other mid-size ships.
