8 Day Eastern Caribbean Cruise

May

Pros: The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food and entertainment was good.

Cons: There was some confusion during the debarkation. The digital system didn't appear to be working.

Recommended: Yes

We had a great Stateroom Attendant, whose name was Yanti, who was very good at her job. Our cabin was well serviced. Also, Wisnu and Robert, the Team Lead Servers, and Lovely Jane, Assistant Lead Server, in the Reflections Dining Lounge, were very good with performing their duties as well as helpful and friendly to us and others. They were a big part of the reason we enjoyed the trip so much.

Great time

January

Pros: Great Gluten free options in the dining room, fun ropes course, great ports

Cons: Need more seating on serenity deck

Recommended: Yes

We had a great time on the carnival Vista. Our dining room staff was phenomenal. We were so blessed with Maynard Serrano, he made sure my dinner was gluten free every night. I had no worries when it was time to eat. Our room steward Greg, was a pleasure. We would recommend this cruise.

Grandkids LOVED their FIRST cruise!

June

Pros: Very nice ship and very updated. Every employee was SO FRIENDLY, especially to the grandkids. Large ship but it didn't seem overly crowded.Hal

Cons: Air conditioning throughout the ship could have been cooler. The Lido deck was very warm, except in certain spots. The elevators didn't feel like there was no air circulating.

Recommended: Yes

The grandkids (ages 6 (granddaughter) and 9 (grandson) were so excited with their first cruise. Our 6-year-old granddaughter was even called up on stage to help the cruise director at the Welcome Aboard Show on the first night of the cruise. They both danced at the shows and at dinner. They, and us as grandparents, spent a lot of time at the pool and splash zone. It was great to see them so happy and having fun.

Carnival Vista Cruise

May

Pros: Cruise offered excellent services, the staterooms, stateroom attendants, dining room, the server services, stateroom stewardesses.

Cons: The food on the Lego deck could be improved. The Visa casino was too smoky, even the nonsmoking area.

Recommended: Yes

The food in the Ledo deck needs to be improved. If individuals are lactose intolerance, that milk/yoga should be offered. I really like gambling, but the casino was too smoky. Some individuals couldn’t participate on the machines, even in the nonsmoking room, the smoke infiltrated that room. Also, the nonsmoking room offered less machines to play. The Vista’s needs to create a nonsmoking lodge. The cruise ship was kept throughly clean. However, the Vista needs to improve its entrainment, most of that was country western, orchestra, or poor rock music that was boring. People takes cruises to have a blast, not sit around and drink.

Carnival Vista

May

Pros: The Vista was exceptionally good, customer service was outstanding.

Cons: N/A

Recommended: Yes

We enjoyed our cruise on Vista and look forward to the next one with Carnival. In the Dining Karel, Toki, and Kenneth were outstanding, they ensured that every meal served was on time and explained any questions about the types of food to be served. Also, they were pleasant and had magnificent spirits. Bertel/Budiasa, Stateroom Attendants, worked diligently to support/clean our room and provided any request needed. We want to commend all of them for their exceptional support/services.

Cruise 2024

February

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?

Great vacation time with family!

June

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.

Great vacation

May

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.
