Not impressed with the ship one bit, not worth all the "hype" it was given prior to going in service.
First time I NEVER bought a drink on a cruise due to the VAT. Carnival should be ashamed of their selves for not disclosing this fact prior to sailing or prior to the cancellation date.
Food was so bad in the buffet, deli and the new BBQ, I wouldn't give it to my dogs.

Chose this cruise as it was a new ship and we thought the price was good. The ship, food, entertainment and service was a big disappointment to both of us. This was our eighth cruise, our first and last with Carnival. They can learn a lot from there competitors as a lack of training was obvious where the staff especially in the dining areas were concerned.
The so called entertainment at night, ...
This cruise was chosen primarily for its itinerary and also for the fact that it was a brand new ship.
We flew into Athens on the Sunday as the cruise was starting on the Tuesday, which gave us a full day in Athens to explore and relax before the cruise.
On arrival at Pireaus we experienced no real problems with check in as we got there about 11 am. However, we had a new person checking ...
Our previous experience of Carnival had been good. We choose this particular cruise on the Vista as this ship was new and it's advertised as their flagship. We embarked from Athens this process went smoothly bearing in mind the numbers of guests boarding. Our stateroom was fine as you would expect on a brand new ship. We were not previously made aware that all purchases on board were also subject ...
This was cruise number 12 for us, did a lot of Royal Caribbean, 2 Celebrity and one NCL…Heard a lot of good of Carnival from friends…So with the brand new ship in EU waters we thought a perfect opportunity to try Carnival. The ship looks good, but most of the staff and crew (about 75%) had no clue what they were doing. Worst was the dining room staff, the most horrible I have even seen, not one ...
We chose this cruise as it was a brand new Carnival Ship thinking it would be awesome, we were very disappointed in comparison with other Cruise Companies, the lifts were dreadful, we were on the 14th floor and only 2 lifts to this floor, we waited ages for lifts and had a person in a wheelchair.
No reserved areas for wheelchair or disabled passengers in any of the function rooms or ...
My wife's Birthday surprise didn't turn out as expected, just a money magnet pay extra for everything, plus surcharges and gratuities on drinks and services. Will not be travelling with Carnival ever again, take advice DONT GO WITH CARNIVAL, Entertainment not worth going to ,pay for Imax movies, pay to use sauna, food and service need attention (same menu every night) pay extra for specialty menu, ...
Our first cruise, new ship, had nothing to compare it to. Advertised really well. I was so excited.
I think i have been put off cruising for life. The taxes were so high on drinks that all the bars were empty. People were refusing to pay . I was charged for things on my card that I did not have, to a total of over £60.00. I felt like i spent most of my time queuing with all the others at the ...
We sailed on the Carnival Magic in 2011 and the ship was marvellous. The service on board was excellent and the crew always very attentive.
This time we chose the Vista expecting something even better but how let down were we? The ship itself was lovely but after that it went downhill.
This was our 13th cruise (usually Princess) and, the most disappointing so far. We thought that it was ...
A REAL FEELING OF BEING CONNED.
The cruise was advertised at a very good price,without giving any clues of outrageous price additions once on board.
The ship was clean and cabin and most areas in good condition(as expected as Vista is very new)
Food was just OK nothing special in MDR.
Speciality restaurants Ji Ji Asian and 555 superb (extra cost though)
