Western Caribbean Carnival Vista Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

This was a nice enough cruise. The ship is definitely in need of refurbishing. Really showing its age. The dining was very nice. We enjoyed every meal! The deserts were especially excellent. We didn't take in much of the entertainment, but we heard it was great. The staff was remarkable, each and every one was lovely and helpful. Staterooms are fine, bathrooms not bad, shower water ...

I am a Carnival Diamond. My wife and I love the Vista for its features and port of Galveston. This cruise was our worst on the Vista. Much of this was due to the lax cruise director and enforcement (lack of) of policies. For example, debarkation for Diamond (early) is a distinct perk. However, for example, on this cruise they instructed us to be in the restaurant at 8am to "prepare" for early ...

We chose Carnival Cruise Line for our special family vacation because of its reputation for liveliness and kid-friendliness. In many ways, Carnival lived up to this with a variety of food options and excellent teen areas. The excursion advisors were top-notch, providing us with honest and helpful advice that made our off-boat activities memorable. However, the experience was far from seamless. ...

My husband and I were kinda upset with this cruise ship. We try to go on a cruise once a year for our anniversary. And any other time we have not had a issue until this time. Our room didn't have ac in it, after telling customer service 3 times, they sent someone up to fix it, and it wasn't ever fixed, we ended up sleepingwith the balcony door opened just to get some air flowing through the ...

I sailed Carnival Vista with my wife, 16-year-old daughter and her 16-year-old friend. This was my seventh cruise, all with Carnival, since 2006. We chose this cruise for a combination of the itinerary, the proximity to Galveston (about a 9-hour drive) and our interest in the Vista. Overall, we were impressed with the Vista. It's a big, beautiful ship with lots to see and do. Our stateroom was ...

There was so much bullying on this ship. Fights drinking and No supervision. Ages between 12-18 . Kids were beat up by groups. When I saw it I stopped it. Carnival make parents responsible for their kids poor behavior. No one wants to deal with little jerks. On a good note in Cozumel Charlie was a great guide . My husband and I went to the private house and brace all inclusive. Charlie made ...

First cruise in awhile, I’m a platinum viff member so I’ve been to many Carnival Cruises. I usually eat my dinners at the assigned restaurants but this time I only ate once there due to a very frustrating method of seating you. Before you would just show up at the restaurant and be seated, now you have to check in on their app and even then you have to wait 30-50 minutes or more to be seated, many ...

We joined some friends on this cruise. It was our first vacation since before COVID. They have reduced the staff on the ship and it shows. The first night we were not offered beverages. Usually, they had someone come and get our drink order. No one asked or came by. The meals in the MDR were not that great. I did enjoy the ribs one night. The Chocolate Melting cake was over cooked the first night. ...

We have sailed Carnival 5+ times. I know there are some "Never Carnival" people and if you're one ... clearly this ship isn't for you. However, this review is in the context of comparing the Vista to the other 4 Carnival ships we've sailed (Pride, Glory, Horizon, and Panorama) and also compared to most comparable brands we've sailed RCCL and NCL. We have enjoyed all our cruises with ...

My husband and I have previously cruised on Carnival and were very disappointed in the service on this cruise. We had purchased the drink package, we understood you are not able to use in port but we actually couldn’t use it at all the first day. When we could use it, there were small inconveniences that didn’t make sense…for instance if you ordered a double and we’re paying for it you got it ...
