Sail Date: Apr 2018

we cruise every year for vacation on Carnival and always plan our stay prior to our sailings around local breweries close to the port. So imagine how happy we were to find out the newest most awesome Vista had a brewery on board!!! oh and you could take tours!! We were told by staff both on the phone and in the cruise terminal ( all carnival employees) to go straight to the brewery because the brewery tours would sale out super fast (additional 15 bucks per person) so that is what we did... only to be told that there would be NO BREWERY TOURS this sailing because the brew master was not on board and they did not have a fill in. There were about 15 other people that were there doing exactly what we were doing that were also disappointed. When we spoke to guest services they had no response and did not seem to understand that this was an issue.

The 2nd issue that we had was the kids EVERYWHERE running around with no supervision... they took over the pools, the hot tubs, the dining areas (we paid extra to eat in the steakhouse as we have done the past 5 cruises only to have a 6yr old kicking and screaming in the floor no less while staff and the parents just ignored it), they pushed all of the buttons on the elevator, laid on the stairs, knocked on doors and ran away at 3 am ( this happened 3 different nights on our vacation and each time when i called guest services the only response i got was " we will send someone".... that someone never came)

The 3rd issue was there is NO ADULT ONLY POOL like on other Carnival ships! you have to fight all of the kids splashing you in the face and kicking you!
