We genuinely enjoyed everything about this cruise. The itinerary was amazing. We loved all the ports of call and booked excursions through Carnival for each location. Our cabin attendant, Pandem was amazing- always left cute towel animals and our stateroom was always cleaned and tidy for us when we returned in the afternoon We had “your time dining” so we ate in the Horizons Restaurant and ...

Before I get too far, I want to say that we loved the Carnival Vista. Me and my husband decided to have our wedding on the Vista in Galveston and then take a 7 day cruise to Montego Bay, Cayman Islands, and Cozumel. Our wedding day didn’t turn out as expected due to a medical emergency on the cruise prior to us, so our wedding got pushed back from 12:15 to 3:30 P.M. We had gotten the call the day ...

This was my 4th carnival cruise & my last. I usually purchase faster to the fun to skip the lines getting on the ship & to ensure we get our luggage early, usually by the time you get on the ship, since that's one of the FTTF's selling points. We arrived to the port at our scheduled time & was ushered directly into the regular line, not priority, despite telling each employee we encountered. They ...

There was so much bullying on this ship. Fights drinking and No supervision. Ages between 12-18 . Kids were beat up by groups. When I saw it I stopped it. Carnival make parents responsible for their kids poor behavior. No one wants to deal with little jerks. On a good note in Cozumel Charlie was a great guide . My husband and I went to the private house and brace all inclusive. Charlie made ...

This was our second cruise on this ship. We were very disappointed by the poor service and lack of customer service. The Horizon Dining was poor the hostess were rude and unfriendly and the food was good and lack of flavor . The Comedy was outstanding. Our cabin steward Petra was friendly and helpful. Security was terribe a gentleman in a green speedo was exposing himself in the Beach pool ...

First cruise in awhile, I’m a platinum viff member so I’ve been to many Carnival Cruises. I usually eat my dinners at the assigned restaurants but this time I only ate once there due to a very frustrating method of seating you. Before you would just show up at the restaurant and be seated, now you have to check in on their app and even then you have to wait 30-50 minutes or more to be seated, many ...

First, my primary experiences are on the Dream class ships (Breeze and Dream) so my experience on the Vista left so much to be desired. The beds were spring mattresses and horrifically uncomfortable. The floors were full of trip hazards. The stairs in the atrium were so tiny and narrow on one side that adults couldn’t use it. The walkways on all floors except 2 were so narrow that two adults ...

Galveston is my preferred port to sail from. The Vista was newer and bigger than any ship I had been on before. I definitely got my steps in but I absolutely adored the Vista. I am sad that she is leaving Galveston but I have booked the Jubilee so I'm sure I will manage. :) The passenger capacity was listed as 3,954, we had 4,200. The layout seemed to work very well as I never felt ...
