We chose this cruise mainly because of the Vista (new ship) it was ok but Being a seasoned cruiser i wasnt that impressed. Making more cabins means you need more everything else everywhere else. In the dining room you were nearly setting on other peoples lap. Very very close. The liquid lounge they took out the small tables in between the rows and just filled the room with rows and rows of chairs. Our cabin we always pick the back right next to the back aft wrap. has big balcony. balcony was same length but narrower. and the cabin was so small if someone stands at the end of the bed the other person had to crawl over the bed. I will say we loved Matt the Cruise Director he was awesome. We also paid extra and had a cabana room. would we ever do it again NO. I saw 3 actual fights over chairs. on a couple of different days. Also the elevators even seem smaller. The casino is designed different. making it very hard to get to the cashier without stomping all over people. IF you wanted a chair people were up at 6:30 out on deck getting themselves a deck chair for the day. I hope when designing the next 5 ships the next 5 years they rethink a few things. Our next cruise is back on the Magic in October. Regardless we are diehard Carnival folks we will see what the future holds.
