My husband and I have always choosen Carnival to be our cruise line because we have always been treated special, the Carnival way. However, we were disappointed with Carnival Vista. We had a great steward, Frank, but i cant say the same for another steward, my husband had an incident where he asked another steward for a corkscrew, because we could not find our steward and the horrible room service ...
This cruise was the second of 5 cruises we have planned this fall/ winter. After having a fantastic week on the Vista, we experienced our worst sailing ever. Boarding was terrible it took hours. There was a very rude SMS employee assisting with the boarding.
Once on board, there were several issues:
Shower water had a foul odor.
Possible reasons for this was the broken water pipes that ...
Not enough of free activities during the day. Arts ans craft should have been offered in the afternoon as well in the morning for the people who wanted to sleep late. The serenity deck should always have beverages availability such as coffee, tea ,water lemon aide. The shows were too crowded, fights and arguments were erupting. Maybe they should be offered by reservations only.
The dining set ...
From the time you first walk aboard the Carnival Vista to when you have to get off the ship, you will be amazed at everything Carnival has to offer you on this fantastic ship. The only draw back is that there is so much fun stuff to do on the ship, you will never be able to do or go to everything they have to offer. I was amazed at how they fit the IMAX theater into the ship. The screen is a full ...
First and foremost the staff on board this ship are AMAZING!!!! The Cruise Director Matt and COOKIE of the funship team deserve an honorable mention for keeping the FUN flowing on this cruise. They made the trip FUN!!! The ship itself is great. Italian restaurant (except for that double portion business when people ordered the same thing) was good, the Seafood Shack is an AMAZING addition to ...
Not many kids on this cruise, the week after Thanksgiving. Got a great price for 7 day cruise $650 pp. for a balcony room center ship, empress deck. Carnival has made some obvious cutbacks on food in the dinning room, and on lido deck but the food in the stake house was excellent. I hear the computer went down and embarkation did not go well, boy was I glad we had priority boarding and got on ...
I am glad I waited to write this review after cruising in December of 2017 on Carnival as it gave me a lot more perspective.
In November of 2016, I took my adult children and grandchild on our first cruise ever, so excited to be among the first to cruise on the Carnival Vista out of Miami.
Embarkation - long, long lines out the doors. Took about 3 hours to board.
Cabin - 4 of us in a ...
So there was suppose to be check in times, Carnival sent an email pushing back our check in time by an hour. However, when we arrived, we all just checked with no matter to the time. It went quickly though. The check in procedure was pretty standard. The safety meeting was better than RC as it was inside in an air conditioned room. The cabin was nice with an half bath and a full bath. There was ...
I booked this cruise because Vista was new to the US. Ship is new, huge, and exciting. Loved the SkyRide, the new interactive TV's with account info so you don't need Kiosks or Guest Services. Breakfasts in dining room awesome. Same for Guy Fieri Burger Bar and his BBQ place, although it is only open on sea days. The new Italian place for lunch was interesting. Dinner in dining room was super for ...
We found the Glory to be old and run down, Everywhere you looked bits were broken or missing and it took away from the experience. We did see uncooked food left out for hours in public spaces which left us feeling concerned about our safety. Sadly we will never sail on this ship again. The staff were great, no complaints at all. This trip we found the ship very rocky a problem only if you get sea ...
