Chose the cruise because it was family friendly and reasonable value for money. We were a family of 11 consisting of 6 adults and 5 children age ranging from 20 months to 13 years.
Embarkation went smoothly, no complaints the new reserve a boarding time slot system appears to work well.
The ship was clean and well maintained which you would expect being only 4 months old. I thought the lay out was good and spacious. Never felt crowded apart from around the pools, however there are plenty of quiet areas to sit around, sunbath or read a book even without using the adult only Serenity area. Never had a problem finding a lounger. Particularly like how the Promenade Deck venues open onto a deck area. If you wanted a quite drink you could easily escape the lounges and enjoy a drink under the stars. Even the speciality restaurants had outside dining options.
Very nice, excellent bathroom, good stowage space, huge flat screen TV.
Thought the normal windows and single door access to the balcony wasn't as good as the normal floor to ceiling French sliding doors. It felt more closed in which is strange on a ship called Vista.
Family occupied Family Harbour Deluxe View rooms. The cabin for 4 was good, the cabin for 5 was adequate.
