Sail Date: Oct 2022

My wife and myself went on the seven day leaving 10/1/22. Right off the bat we noticed the severe overcrowding. You could not get an elevator the entire cruise, which was crappy but not significant. The lines for food were wrapped around for lunch and dinner buffet almost every night. The casino waiters for the most part acted like they didn't want to run drink orders (except Adrian) we was a God send! Please tip him good he is on until March 2023. Pools were so crowded we didn't get in them a single time. The main topic of controversy on our cruise was most of us had no hot water for 5+ days. Alot of people had almost no water pressure all all t0 shower. Carnivals compensation was $100 OBC!!! The best part.... Bed Bugs! Several guest were in line at Guest Services with bed bug bites and showing photos etc from what I could tell they were on Deck 8. The crew did respond with essentially a vacuuming and raid can. So the port times were limited due to the engine problems the boat is unable to sail at top speed. We loved the ports and had a great time at the beaches. Food was bland but that is nothing new for carnival.

Needless to say that was my first and last time of the vista.

Cabin Review

Room was small but we got what we paid for. Room Seward was not good. Right next to the Imax the walls literally SHOOK and was so LOUD!

We had such a great time. Tequila tasting was not worth it tho.
