We chose this ship because of the ports of call. We have always been interested in a Mediterranean cruise so when we heard about the Vista being a new ship and spending time in the Med we jumped on it! The ship was beautiful, reminded us a lot of the Breeze which we had been on last summer. Embarkation was easy. We arrived a little before our appointed time but we were ushered right in. The line moved quickly. We were on the ship in less than an hour. Our bags didn't arrive until about 5:00 but we spent the time exploring the ship anyway. We had an aft-view extended balcony room on deck 8. Very quiet and comfortable. Although we overlooked the Havana pool deck we did not hear any music at night. We were a little disappointed that they didn't have loungers on the balcony as there was plenty of room for one. We had two chairs and a little table. We tried the steakhouse and JiJi's. Both were delicious. We ate in the MDR the rest of the evenings and food there was excellent as well. The port heavy cruise was a little exhausting as we had to get up everyday really early but it was worth it. Would have liked a sea day in between some of the ports but understandable how it had to be. We felt that since we were there we had to get off the ship and explore! We will definitely sail on Vista again once she's in Miami. We stayed in Barcelona for a few days after. This was a great city to explore as well! Overall, beautiful ship and wonderful trip. I can't believe it's over!
