Badly Designed Ship

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Carnival Vista

We have sailed many times on Carnival, but have been sailing other cruise lines, recently, for a change. We chose this cruise because it was a chance to try out the new Carnival Vista while going to our favorite island, St. Martin. Well, that didn't happen, due to Irma, so our itinerary was changed. Still, we got to see Carnival's new Flagship. We were not only unimpressed, but depressed. ...

We chose this cruise to sail specifically on the Carnival Vista, with an aft extended balcony stateroom, with the original ports of call -- and we waited 18 months from inception of planning to be able to do this and miss hurricane season. So, it was a huge disappointment for the cruise to be re-routed to different ports that sent us back to Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, where we visited in 2015 and ...

Beautiful ship but not as elegant as some of the older ships

We took this cruise primarily to see the newest ship but also the original itinerary. We ended up with the ABC islands instead because of the weather and they were fantastic. The Vista is a beautiful ship but not as open and elegant in some areas as the older ships. There was plenty of room for the guests but gone are the big beautiful Atriums and comfortable seating along the walkways. The ...

I read numerous negative reviews before sailing and I tried to ignore them because I've always had the opinion of "you're on vacation, how can you have a bad cruise?". I honestly should have listened. I really wanted to love this ship but I really regret spending my money. EMBARKATION: we had an 11:30 time and arrived around 11:15. We had a suite so walked around the terminal for priority ...

Picked this cruise because of the price and the fact that it was a new ship. Other cruise lines have been increasing their prices so they can give "Free" drinks to the passengers who drink (we don't). So we pay for the other peoples drinks. Flew into Fort Lauderdale the day before and took a shuttle to the Port of Miami the next day. Had our embarkation time at 12:30 and we arrived at 12:10. ...

Fun Halloween Cruise on Vista

This was a small group cruise to celebrate Halloween. Embarkation and Debarkation as a Platinum member was a breeze. Cabin was not ready upon boarding at 11:50 a.m. Assistant steward very apologetic and I felt bad for him so did not cause a scene. Originally asked by cabin steward if I wanted cabin serviced a.m. or p.m? I hesitated and then advised I was from the old school and really liked the ...

We booked Havana Cabin overlooking Pool which was green for 2 days until we asked why the pool is green.Well,it wasn't tile,the pool was dirty; the crew member said wasn't enough chemicals on board,so we went up to deck 10 & those pools were green too.Informed GS & the 3rd day all the pools were clean!Dining is not very good except for Guys burgers, Guy's BBQ, Sushi & the Seafood Shack. We went to ...

We were excited to try this new ship but overall a bit disappointed. We miss the glass elevators in the atrium and felt like the dining rooms section you off too much from other guests. The Chef's Table was well worth the extra money, but we walked out of Cucina due to poor service and undercooked chicken. Jiji was also good. The casino bar staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed ...

There were 20 of us (family and friends) that sailed the Vista together. I was the only one with children (10 and 13 year old daughters). We flew into Fort Lauderdale the night before the ship set sail and got a ride (van transportation) to the Red Roof Inn in Miami. This hotel has no frills, and a LOT of stray cats roaming the grounds. If you only need a place to sleep the night before your ...
