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.
