SHIP OVERVIEW

Carnival Vista has a whole new relationship to the sea, and you get to experience this as you explore the Caribbean with all-new views. SkyRide at SportSquare is a twin-track suspended bike course — strap in and race around for the win or just cruise for great views. At Havana Bar & Pool you’ll find an island retreat that evokes classic Cuban-style lounging with an emphasis on style… and on views, and on traditional cocktails! Carnival WaterWorks is packed to the gills with wet ways to get-a-splashin’, including Kaleid-O-Slide which adds funky light and color effects to the usual “speed-n-splash” story. If you can’t get enough Guy Fieri, Carnival invites you to try at Guy’s Burger Joint and Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse. Rounding out this ship’s sunlight highlights is Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, the low-key grown-up spot that’s more lounging and hot tubs than action and adventure. One last thing you should know: on Carnival Vista more onboard places than ever before span the indoors and outdoors — so whether you set the thermostat to “cool-and-crisp” or “sea-breezy perfection” you’ll enjoy your kind of Caribbean comfort on Carnival Vista.

PROS

Overall very enjoyable

CONS

Wait time for dinner

RECOMMENDED

Yes

It was frustrating to be told 10 minute wait on the Carnival app and the table would not be ready for 30 minutes. Maybe change wait time to what number your party is on the list?

PROS

We really enjoyed every aspect of our cruise vacation. The hospitality, food, service, trivia games, nightlife, and drinks were all to our liking. Thank you

CONS

The port cities were three days in a row. Would have liked to have them separated out. In addition, the time at the port was short. We felt rushed to do all the activities before returning to the boat.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Can't wait until our next cruise vacation. Already ready to book the next one.

PROS

Great excursions, great water deck/slides for kids

CONS

No shallow pools for kids, extremely crowded

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We had a great time on the carnival vista. The food was great!!! Guys Burgers was our favorite. Also loved the Blue Iguana Cantina, just wish they were open longer. Most of the staff were friendly except for the staff at the red frog bar. We only stopped for drinks there a few times because they always acted like we were bothering them. We always went to the Tides pool bar after that. They were always exceptionally friendly. This is not the most kid friendly ship. Some of the entertainment at the pool deck in my opinion was not suitable for children. The splash deck and slides were great. My 8 year old daughter loved it!!! Would be nice if they could put some lounge chairs on the splash deck instead of just regular chairs.
