Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Carnival Vista Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We chose this particular cruise because we wanted to experience Carnival's new ship and at the same time visit some of the ports in Europe we had not seen before. As we have come to expect from Carnival, embarcation went smoothly, our cabin was ready when we boarded; however, it was our anniversary and I had purchased a package that included decorations, a bottle of wine, a card and chocolates. ...

Had fun, very disappointed about Kusadasi being canceled. This was the main reason we took this cruise. Once cancelled this kicked in the 24% VAT which was not good. I think crew was looking ahead to New York . Cruise director was very good just had New York on her mind. Best thing about the food was Guy's Burgers. Very very good. The male singers in the band of shipseas group were ...

Chose this cruise for the amazing experience in several European ports. The ship is fantastic, I just don't think the staff has worked out all of the service. Jaime Dee the cruise director was the most awesome, entertaining CD I have experienced. I don't know how she has the energy she does. The ship has a lot of entertainment scheduled. The singers/dancers were really bad singers. For a huge ...

long time Carnival cruisers (platinum) but at $6k for this cruise (plus airfare and hotels) we were fairly underwhelmed with the new ship Dinner in the two main dining rooms were a disappointment - unlike even other cruise ship e've been on, these have the ambiance of a Denny's or Mac Donald - very plain and not what one would expect from the newest addition to the fleet - formica table tops ...

me & my wife went for 10 nights around the med on 13/9/16 till 23/9/16 this ship is all about money 4 cans of beer cost £31 joke there was a 24% tax on everything you brought even if you brought a can of pop which on the pop can it would say duty free you still got charged the 24%tax there were shuttle buses but there was a charge for those too & even that wasnt cheap the food i would only give ...

There were many good things about thiscruise, but definitely things that needed improvement. I have sailed Carnival before. Pros: Food was good, conveniently located, varied. Tables were cleaned immediately. Cabins were comfortable and clean. Laundry facilities were conveniently located and worked well. The movies and IMAX were great. The sky ride was fun. The exercise facilities, slides and ...

First, let me say that we booked this cruise, and the one following this (9/3 and 9/13 sailings) for two reasons: price and itinerary. So just based on that, this cruise is a winner. The ports are fantastic. When reading other criticisms about the ship itself, I was skeptical ... but many are valid. But I would like to start with the positives. I love, love, love the electronic, technical ...

We chose this cruise in order to visit Europe for the first time. With only two at sea days, we did a lot of excursions. We did one through Cruise Critic which was excellent. The other excursions were booked through Carnival and had large groups (40+) which meant more waiting but the guides were good. I most enjoyed the Sky Ride and Thrill Theatre. The water slide area looked very cool but I ...

I wanted to cruise to the Mediterranean and wanted to see several places and this seemed to be the best say to accomplish that . It has been awhile since we cruised with Carnival and for the most part the ship wasnt that much different than the others. What was different is they are only trying harder to get your last dollar. Half way thru the cruise they tacked on a 24 percent tax to everything ...

VISTA - No Elegance. Plain, contemporary style décor and furnishings. Only white dining room tablecloths on formal nights. No enforcement of dress code (shorts and no collar t-shirts at dinner). Poor quality beef served, except at the specialty steak restaurant and in the dining room on formal nights. Buffet entrees were poorly prepared and cool. Liked the Italian and Asian restaurants at ...
