Customer reviews for Carnival Vista
Wonderful time on Carnival Vista! The cabin very clean and the staff work tirelessly for your every need. The entertainment was amazing! The shows so professional and the dancers and singers were work class, Sky ride was good and Taylor very helpful. Shore excursions Rudy helped a lot too. Bar staff tended to your every need. The band asta le vista were brilliant. Would definitely go back.
A big thanks to Warren for organising our cruise and stay on 20th June on the Vista especially when you had to deal with two couples at opposite ends of the country. The Athens Gate Hotel for our overnight stay before the cruise was perfect it was right in the middle of Athens with the Acropolis as a backdrop and the Temple of Zeus at the front, the food in the rooftop restaurant was excellent the taxi transfers were on time we left the hotel at 12 noon and we were on board by 1.30pm. We are looking at another cruise now so you will be getting a call soon. Thanks again.
I was lucky enough to be invited on board Carnival Vista for 3 nights around the Med and Vista certainly lived up to the brands strap-line ‘Switch on Fun’. There are so many exciting activities on board to choose from including impressive waterslides, the largest Imax at Sea and a SkyRide. I probably should have spent more time on the SkyRide to burn off all the fabulous food I sampled on board. I can highly recommend the Carnival chocolate melting cake, and the breakfast burritos, and the burgers at Guy’s Burger Joint and the stir fry at the Mongolian Wok, I think you get the picture, the food was amazing. If relaxing is more your style there are plenty of places to sit back and watch the world go by. One of my highlights was sitting up on deck watching Star Wars in the big screen under the stars. My only negative point is Carnival is not in the Med next year but if you’re looking to go a little further afield in 2017 then I would definitely recommend sailing on Vista.
I was lucky enough to spend time on Carnival Vista in the Med during her Maiden Season. This was my first Carnival cruise - it certainly won't be my last! The ship itself is large, brand new and brightly decorated with a Caribbean feel. You can totally relax, party, eat or play as hard as you like. We were pleased to find that the onboard 'adult-only' area was free to access - perfect for some peace and quiet. I would say that the amenities for both couples and families were on par. The food onboard was a delight. There's far more onboard than just a buffet for lunch: burgers, stir fry (fresh to order), burritos, tacos - all included. A culinary highlight was eating in the Italian specialty restaurant, Cucina del Capitano - fantastic food and great service! A final stand-out feature was the ship's Cruise Director, who chatted to everyone onboard, was incredibly funny - the real 'star of the show'; it was great to be around such a fun character. I'd definitely recommend this ship for anybody looking for a relaxed, friendly onboard atmosphere.
