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 appetizers, starters, and desserts but entrees were somewhat lacking in quality. Biggest disappointment was later in evening because the pizza place was only place open (no midnight buffet or food). The lines were horrendous! Embarkation was a disaster and we got started so late we never got to stop at Grand Turk. I am a very experienced cruiser and overall was happy with cruise. Taking same ship again in March. Hope they correct the embarkation issue and the dining at night.

Casino by the way has new machines for most part and was lots of fun. Entertainment crew (led by Matt) was awesome. Loved the trivia in afternoons. Great room steward. Nice dining room crew also.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8C

Nice room. Nice balcony with refrigerator. Only complaint is you must leave your room key in a slot to keep lights on and electrical outlets running. Leads to you leaving the room without your key. Need to fix that. I know it is to save electricity but is too much of an inconvienence.
