The Sunshine has been recently refurbished, thus resembling ...

Cruised with a group of 6 friends/family. Because I consider Carnival cheap and cheerful, I had realistic expectations. There's lots of fun to be had, plenty of activities (good cruise director and staff), and while the ship does hold ...

Went on the cruise with a group, this was my first cruise in almost 16 years, I will never sail on the Sunshine again. There were way too many people crammed on this vessel. Unless you go up on deck at crack of dawn or later when the sun ...

Leaving out of New York was awesome. What was even better ship had no passages to disembark so we walked right on at 11:00. Disappointed because we are platinum and no welcome aboard photos taken. All rooms where ready. Guys burgers ...

I love carnival and have been going on them for years with nothing but good things to say. Over this past trip the boat was so old and out dated as well as poorly kept up. I must say the inside cabin was fine and the floor employees were ...

We chose this cruise, out of NYC, for (2) reasons: The Ports and to explore the Sunshine. We've been on the Victory; Glory; Splendor and on this one. In comparison,this ship reminded me more of the Victory and Glory because it was laid out ...

We only live about 90 minutes from the NYC cruise port. The drive there and back was easy and stress free...even with a bit of traffic.
Getting on and off the cruise ship was very easy and fairly quick. Parked at the port around 10:30, ...

I will start by saying we had high expectations for this cruise for 2 reasons... The ship being recently re-designed and the ports. Both were a bit of a let down... Let me explain.
The ship is nice. We have previously sailed on Pride ...

We had a wonderful vacation on the 11 Journey cruise from NYC to Miami over Thanksgiving. It was just myself (43 year old mom) and three sons (15, 13 and 10 yr). This was our third Carnival family vacation, but I have sailed on a dozen ...

The Vista looms large and is pretty darn impressive looking up at it from the dock but, once on board, doesn't seem merely as big. Most of the public places on the ship felt smaller than usual - there is no grand foyer or lobby, just ...

We wanted to go on a New ship not just refurbished. The ship itself was nice, enjoyed the new layout. More decks with things other than rooms on them. Staff seemed to be very confused as if this was their first cruise. That was in all ...

This was going to be our introduction to the New Carnival Vista, but after getting a great deal on the TA, this was our second trip. The embarkation was a mess in NYC. What I heard later was that 250 Travel agents were given the ROYAL ...

The ports of call were the reason I chose this cruise. Embarkation was a nightmare. Disembarkation was very smooth. The cabins are typical carnival, nice storage space. I had a cove balcony, loved it. Cabin 2364. I heard very little noise ...

We choose this cruise because it was on the new Vista, because it was a Journeys cruise of 11 days, and because we would be sailing out of the beautiful NY harbor at night.
Our only 2 disappointments were: many fewer (6) hot tubs on ...

We were myself (46), DH 49, DD 14, DS 11, and my MIL (75+). This was our third Carnival cruise as a family together, but DH and I had ...

This was my 29th Carnival cruise. If I was blindfolded and placed on the ship, I would not have been able to recognize it as a Carnival ship by the interior decor, which was pleasing and tasteful. But when I saw the plastic trees on Lido, ...

Ship information
Having cruised on numerous cruise lines (RCL, Celebrity, NCL etc) and other Carnival ships, you can tell the Vista sells itself as a ship for entertainment rather than for exceptional service.
The ship itself is ...

Our cruise on the Vista was an opportunity to sail on a new Carnival ship out of our homeport of New York! The dining room was very un-Carnival like and the atrium was too. But the ship was still beautiful.. They tried to get too fancy in ...
