We just got off the Jan28 sailing of Vista and I'd like to share my impressions. The entertainment staff and the CD were such fun, they really get you involved in activities. The shows were amazing, current music and very talented performers. The skyride is breathtaking!

The food in general was decent, we did the Chefs Table - such unique food pairings and a tour of the kitchen, I highly recommend it. We had lunch at Ji Ji and Cucina (no charge for lunch), but the service was pathetic and the restaurants were tiny. We also had dinner at Bonsai (with upcharge) - they didn't bring half of what we ordered and did bring the wrong food, that was disappointing, also we waited a very long time, and it wasn't even crowded.

Set dining time is in the small Reflections dining room only, which is beneath the casino and you can smell smoke in that dining room. The larger Horizions dining room is 100% my time dining, so set dining times are hard to come by. My time worked ok, but I missed getting to know the same tablemates and wait staff during the week. Wait staff ranged from fun to robotic.

Our room was right by the elevators and we didn't hear a thing. it was nice to walk into the hallway and see the sun shining in the door that lead to the Lido. Good central location.
