Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Vista

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

I went on this cruise with my family, we are first time cruisers, and this experience left us discouraged and very disappointed. Entertainment was lackluster. Sea days were mostly boring for me and my husband. If you're not a drinker/partier you will find there is not much this ship has to offer really. The pool areas are silly. One small pool, in the middle of one huge crowd. The pools are also ...

My purse was stolen while waiting to disembark the ship in florida. i told the security staff who was scanning the room cards for people leaving the ship. They scanned my roommate's card then looked at me making sure my face matched then deleted me from their system making it look like i was no longer on the ship. i was in a total panic! I was not allowed to retrace my steps to look for it since ...

We have went on several cruises with Norwegian and Royal Caribbean, but not Carnival Freedom. We had several issues before leaving with CF after we did an upgrade to our room. They charges us again for soda and gratuities after the upgrade. Please make sure that you understand it is a bubbles soda package(CF doesn't tell you it is just pepsi products)- We paid for extra for a suite with extra ...

We chose this cruise for my parents 60th anniversary.... we had 6 balcony staterooms.......... prior to sailing our PVP assured us we would have no issue getting seating in the AFT dining room...... due to medical conditions for 4 of our group we purposely selected AFT cabins to make life easier....... we were NOT granted the seating in the aft dining room even when we said we had no problem ...

We went on this cruise with my family, 12 of us. It was a C- at best 1. The dining room looks like a low class dining hall. The service was fair the food was ok not great 2. Breakfast in the Dining room, need a reservation, can't just walk in. A reservation starts with a 10 minute wait. No one was in the dining room. No reason for a wait. 3. Ship was crowded, had to get to a show ...

We were so looking forward to this cruise because it was traveling to a couple of islands that we had never been to. First, Our luggage was late getting to our room so my husband could not change to go to dinner that night and speaking of dinner, very chaotic way of trying to organize people getting to their tables, very confusing how to use the app, and once they said our table was ready, it was ...

We chose this cruise for it's ports of call and the time of year. It was a large family trip with members flying in from all over the U.S. The check-in process was great! We had upgraded our room to larger rooms (with balcony's) at the very back (aft) of the ship. The Magic is old and in need of both cosmetic and structural repair. The thrusters were broken during the entire cruise which mean ...

First Time Cruiser • Age Under 20

My first cruise ever and I never want to cruise again… at least on carnival. 600 staff members short, and about 2k too many people for the ships size. My family and I ate in the main dining room on Monday night, and I had the worst steak I’ve ever had in my life. It was halfway to being leather. I would never recommend this cruise line.. or at least this ship. Do some research before you book, or ...

I last sailed about 12 years ago on Carnival and loved it. I was shocked at how much Carnival has slipped. The cruise was totally boring - I will not sail with Carnival again. There were weird cost-cutting actions. There was no aspartame (equal) or flavored coffee creamers. The coffee cups were small and the coffee not very good. No juice except in the morning. Water, ice tea and lemonade ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

My husband and I were on the Carnival Celebration last week. This would be our 3rd Carnival cruise, and it will be our last. The food was awful, and I overheard passengers calling it unedible. I'm not a picky eater, and I struggled to find anything that was not greasy or overcooked. The ship had four buffets (I believe), and only two were open, with the same five or six dishes every day. ...
