I am Platinum cruisers and this ship was horrible. The cabin was smaller with less closets and more people on ship for same events and smaller seating space. No real dance club they have to change comedy club into dance club so if late shows oh well no dance club. I did like the theater but not worth losing all the other luxuries for that . Never again....they only added more cabins and no more ...

Too big of a ship and not enough crew.

Boarding the boat with priority boarding didn't happen. Mass amounts of people and rooms not ready. Didn't have enough seating at lunch in the market place after every one boarded. For being a new boat. the lack of air conditioning [or keeping the hot air out] in the Market Place was very uncomfortable eating conditions. Our cabin not being ready when promised, and the when we gain access 1 ...

Chose the cruise because of the Havana Cabana. It was truly awesome. We actually got to use the pool and jacuzzis. They have always been too crowded with kids on other cruises. The staff in the Havana Cabana was great. They quickly learned everyone’s name and took care of our every need. Food at the BBQ restaurant was very tasty and convenient. The steakhouse and Italian restaurant were both ...

Overall, I could not have asked for a better cruise! We chose the Vista because we wanted a newer ship with lots of on board activities. It wasn't perfect, but really was wonderful. We arrived in Miami the day prior to the cruise and stuck pretty close to the hotel. Our adult daughter and her fiance joined us on this cruise, but their cabin was on a different floor. We had a balcony ...

This is my 28 cruise. Seven of them had been with Carnival and had excellent experience with them but with this one the only good thing about it was the intinerary (Turk & Caicos, La Romana, Curacao & Aruba). My review is according to my experience. Embarkation was long and very disorganized. The Market buffet was rediculous long lines all the time to get something to eat (breakfast and lunch) and ...

First I know reviews are opinionated by nature but I think they can be more about the experience then some really are. We traveled last week in August into September. We flew into Miami morning of cruise from NJ and had no issues. Uber to port for 19 bucks no issues. Embarkation - this was a problem only cause a bad storm came by. Being outside in lightning - not fun - being inside minutes ...

We chose this cruise because of the ports it was going to. This was our first Carnival cruise (we have done Princess and Royal) and there were some really great things but other events not so great. First the great; food was excellent! Entertainment great! Staff - most of them friendly, lots of fun activities. Not so great; the theatre - who designed it and okayed it? There are seats right ...

Embarkation was horrible. People everywhere and no direction. One person tell you to go here and then another person yell at you for going there. Just awful. Took about an hour and a half just to get through. Our room was great and the steward, Dewa. Room always clean and he was always available. We had two bathrooms and a small fridge which was awesome. Been on multiple cruises and never ...

I have been on several cruise ships with Carnival and other lines as well. I can say I can remember the first carnival ship I went on and the ship and the cruise director were awesome and they are both retired.......This ship is way too big. Way understaffed and boring for all ages. I felt they did not have enough activities for any age. The ship holds 5,000 people. The hallways are narrow, ...

We chose the Vista because of it's itinerary and the description of the ship itself. It all sounded soo wonderful. The staff were generally great, but you could see the strain they were under, even though they tried. There were just TOO many people everywhere, and yes the ship was beautiful, but we felt like trapped sardines. There were such LONG lines for ANYTHING: from food lineups, to counter ...
