Party of 10 enjoyed a ten day cruise leaving from Barcelona and ending in Amsterdam.

We had followed the Vista during construction and were anxious to sail. Embarkation and Debarkation were swift, efficient, and polite. The ship itself was a disappointment as the Atrium you entered was small and a bit dark. Vista is a beautiful ship overall and offers all anyone on vacation could ask for. The main dining room is dark, with dark tables and no table clothes except for 1 night. The food was average and a limited menu. It appears Carnival is making major cuts to what was a great cruise line. Outside dining has improved and was very enjoyable. We were in a different port every day so our experience with on board activities was limited.The staff was very friendly and did an outstanding job - especially room attendants. The tours the ship offered were very good and well priced.
