New Ship in the Mediterranean

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Carnival Vista

We've been cruising mostly Carnival the last 17 years. I feel we get the most bang for our buck and the treatment we get is awesome. We recently sailed with another couple (from the Czech Republic) on the new Vista through the Mediterranean just before she headed to New York. The ship was very nice and met all of our expectations with a couple of exceptions...no glass elevators. My wife and I ...

we choose the Carnival Vista as it is the newest ship in the Carnival fleet and we also wanted to do this cruise from Athens. The service was excellent from the time that we entered the check-in at the port to the time that we collected our luggage in Barcelona. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service, ship and itinerary. Having sailed with Carnival before and other cruise lines, we ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Wow what an experience for our 1st cruise where to begin. Beautiful brand new ship, loaded to the rim with great restaurants, activities and attractions. Being an adventurous family, we never took the Carnival excursions, rather we rented cars in most of the ports of call, which wasn't simple due to the distances involved but ultimately highly rewarding due to the freedom and flexibility this ...

Had 3 nights in Athens prior to cruise . Embarkation went very smoothly and quick. Rooms were ready straight away too. It felt a bit flat walking onboard for 1st time as your straight into deck 0 the lifts . We have been on several cruises before with carnival , RCI and NCL and my most memorable embarkation was on carnival splendour, straight into deck 3 I think it was, into the most beautiful ...

We choose these cruises for the itinerary : Mediterranean and Transatlantic. Overall we thought it was terrific. The ship was beautiful, great expansion of outdoor sitting areas, more subdued, classy decorating and fabulous staff. The live music entertainment was very enjoyable from shows to groups playing around the ship. Our cabin staff and dining room staff were great. I was concerned about ...

We just returned from a back to back cruise. the Carnival Vista is a very beautiful ship. They are still trying to work out some quirks. Our Cabin was beautiful and our cabin steward was excellent and helped with any needs we had. The dining service took some getting used to. Carnival has changed some things up. No more table cloths. Not as much doting, smaller wait staff, and not as much ...

We primarily chose this cruise because the itinerary was amazing and so was the price. We loved the Vista and everything was very well done! The staff was very friendly and pleasant and helpful, the food was very good in quality, variety and quantity, the ship was lovely with lots of fun things to do, having many fun things incorporated into the design. Even though our cabin was an inside one, ...

I try to go to Europe every year, especially to the Mediterranean. Carnival Vista is a new ship and wanted to sail on her. It is laid out like any other Carnival ship but with beautiful new colors and exciting décor ( see the lobby, wow!). Cabin was an interior with picture window and walkway view, very comfortable for a solo guest and great view from the walkway since it was located at the ...

Great ports and a very nice cruise experience

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

Things started off on the negative side since we lost Turkey, lost the Cheers program and got hit with a 24% VAT tax. Once we got on the ship on a sunny day in Athens, it was all good and it turned out to be a great experience. I'm not sure if I'll cruise again since there are some aspects of the whole cruise experience I don't care for (too many deadlines and no night sight-seeing), but that has ...

We had an excellent time. We met our cruise critic friends from our roll call. A great group of people. Loved joining the private excursions so much nicer with the much smaller groups as compared with the cruise line excursions that are such large groups. The Carnival Vista was a very nice ship it had a lot to offer all ages. We were in port so many of the days that we really didn't get ...
