Carnival Vista Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We booked this cruise before the ship was built. Loved the ship but just felt it was too crowded and staff not as friendly. We had a suite so embarkation was a breeze. got right into our rooms. Room was clean and nice. our room steward was friendly and did a great job. First impression was the main lounge on deck 3 was small. Everything felt more compact and maybe thats why we felt like it was crowded. quality of food was great. Lots of choices. Wait time could have been better but it could have been worse. Loved the ports. Aruba is one of my favorites. Did not book excursions, just did our own exploring. Matt our cruise director was a blast. We had a 80's night and White night that we all dressed up for. We will never book a new ship again because we chose the wrong room.
Cabin Review
Family Harbor Suite
A group of us went and all stayed in Family Harbor Cabins # 2414, 2416, 2417 and 2419. I would never book these cabins again. We all had noise every night on and off for at least 6 hours total. maybe would sleep from midnight to 2 am. These rooms are under the dish washing station in the galley. You would be in bed and it sounded like someone was on our balcony sliding the table and chairs around.
It was horrible because we really did love the room size and layout. the lounge was awesome. Carnival really needed to put these rooms in another location.
