Party cruise...?!

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Carnival Vista

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

I went on this cruise with my family, we are first time cruisers, and this experience left us discouraged and very disappointed. Entertainment was lackluster. Sea days were mostly boring for me and my husband. If you're not a drinker/partier you will find there is not much this ship has to offer really. The pool areas are silly. One small pool, in the middle of one huge crowd. The pools are also ...

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 ...

I and my wife have gone on several cruises in the past, to include Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian,Princess, and Holland America. In the past, Carnival has had a decent reputation for food and entertainment. This was our first cruise since the Pandemic. In my opinion, Carnival has placed cost cutting ahead of quality. Although the food is edible, the only quality food is in the ...

What ever you do PLEASE do NOT cruise with Carnival . Everything about this cruise was horrible except the cabin steward. First of all the closed the buffet the first day so we could NOT get anything to eat except burgers or pizza . But I didn’t spend all this money to eat burgers and pizza that was by the way disgusting. Second of all NOT all crew members speak or understand English. So that’s ...

I chose this cruise for my family reunion because of the destination. We had never been to Jamaica, and won't be going back, nor will we ever cruise with Carnival. This was our first cruise with Carnival and our last. We planned this vacation for over a year, with over 20 family members. We were celebrating high school graduation and birthdays during this cruise. We have sailed with other cruise ...

This was my 4th carnival cruise & my last. I usually purchase faster to the fun to skip the lines getting on the ship & to ensure we get our luggage early, usually by the time you get on the ship, since that's one of the FTTF's selling points. We arrived to the port at our scheduled time & was ushered directly into the regular line, not priority, despite telling each employee we encountered. They ...

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 ...

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, ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

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 ...

My wife and I have been on many cruises, so we thought we knew what to expect. We have cruised on Carnival, Princess, and Royal Caribbean. Before the pandemic, we would go on one to two cruises a year and have cruised on Carnival many times. This was the first time we cruised out of Galveston, Texas. Getting to the ship was an adventure as it was about 1 hour from any airport. There are many ...
