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.
