"We enjoyed the table staff who served us every evening and learned our names and shared their stories with us in the more formal dining rooms and we liked dressing up for the two formal dining suppers there as well.Cabin arrangements were very good for our family groups of three, but the provided crib was too small for our two year old grandson so they had to move him to the big bed and his dad wound up sleeping on the hard couch...."Read More

We have been on the smaller ships like Paradise and Pride that go out of Tampa and we decided let's take the ride across the state to Canaveral and go on a larger ship. We choose cruises not for the ship but for the destinations and having never been to the Dominican and Turks and Caicos, we thought it would be a good itinerary which also included Nassau.Embarkation was a lot easier than I could ...
My wife and i and sister-in-law chose the vista because it offered a back-to-back cruise option out of port everglades. We had just finished a fantastic cruise on royal caribbean's wonder of the seas which ended the same day the vista sailed. • the vista was overcrowded, had overall poor food quality in the buffet and food quality in the main dining room was just okay • we had booked evening ...
This was our second cruise on this ship. We were very disappointed by the poor service and lack of customer service. The Horizon Dining was poor the hostess were rude and unfriendly and the food was good and lack of flavor . The Comedy was outstanding. Our cabin steward Petra was friendly and helpful. Security was terribe a gentleman in a green speedo was exposing himself in the Beach pool ...
First, my primary experiences are on the Dream class ships (Breeze and Dream) so my experience on the Vista left so much to be desired. The beds were spring mattresses and horrifically uncomfortable. The floors were full of trip hazards. The stairs in the atrium were so tiny and narrow on one side that adults couldn’t use it. The walkways on all floors except 2 were so narrow that two adults ...
Galveston is my preferred port to sail from. The Vista was newer and bigger than any ship I had been on before. I definitely got my steps in but I absolutely adored the Vista. I am sad that she is leaving Galveston but I have booked the Jubilee so I'm sure I will manage. :)
The passenger capacity was listed as 3,954, we had 4,200. The layout seemed to work very well as I never felt ...
Carnival did nothing right on this cruise. The ship was dirty the food was horrible and the customer service from the moment I tried to purchase the cruise was abysmal. The ship was way overcrowded, and I also had items stolen from my room. Carnival offered no help or compensation. They also charge for nearly everything while promising the trip is all-inclusive. I did my best to stay optimistic, ...
We chose the carnival vista because we have three children that range in age from 9 to 17 years old and we felt that it offered amenities to please all age groups. The problem was, several of these amenities were not open on the boat due to staffing shortages. Also, Carnival now uses an app on your phone to check passengers in for my time dining. Every single day of the cruise there was a problem ...
Hmmm…Where do I start?
This was my 8th time cruising on Carnival and cruised on over 20 cruises. This was undeniably the worst cruise ever on any cruise line I’ve been on.
MAJOR ISSUE - PUBLIC RESTROOMS - very sparse, hidden and small. The worse example, the men’s restroom located by the aft pool/bar. This men’s restroom had 1 sink, 1 toilet and 1 urinal. This restroom serviced the aft ...
We were a group of 19 grandparents, parents and grandchildren taking our first cruise together. We chose Carnival for their family friendly reputation. We chose the eastern Carribean cruise but Carnival had to cancel it and substitute a western Caribbean cruise on our chosen date which we couldn't alter. They offered a $100 per cabin on board credit which we were allowed to convert to actual ...
EMBARKATION: We live within two hours of the port, so it was an easy drive. Parked at Falstaff Cruise Parking and got a shuttle to the ship. The shuttle was a bit slow to get to the ship due to road blockages from the Dickens on The Strand event that was happening. Falstaff parking was fine, but they only run one shuttle per ship in port which means wait times can be long. Upon arrival at the ...
