Spain, France & Italy from Lisbon with Stay, 24 April 2025 (13 nights)

Ship was fantastic, crew attentive and friendly. Food great, Ports 70% as expected , but disppointing in other ways. . . . too much sales pressure on some islands.

Everything from the time we arrived and boarded to the time we left was very professional and welcoming and we can't wait for our next voyage. The whole viva team that we encountered made the trip as much as the incredible islands that we visited and the service and entertainment went above and beyond.

Lovely holiday, very clean, great state room Food average, long waiting at bars, lacking wow factor

We loved decks 6 7 and 8 especially the amazing promenade deck on 8 with its amazing seating areas and jacuzzis. Inspire restaurant on 8 was very good as was the local bar and restaurant. Both complimentary. Syd Norman’s pour house was brilliant as was the production show Beetlejuice. The theatre turns into a night club which was something I have not seen on any other ship. The service and staff were brilliant also. We didn’t like the pool deck. The pool is small and so is the seating area due to the carting track spread over three decks and the slides and the suite guest area called Haven taking over half of the deck. The carting track and the majority of the kids activity were chargeable which would make cruising with kids expensive and perhaps Royal Caribbean may offer a better value package for families. We didn’t like the $20 charge a person on the ship provided transport to travel a couple of miles into two of the ports were visited. We thought that was excessive. $10 would have been reasonable. We loved the drinks package some beautiful Belgium draft beers and super cocktails. We would definitely as a couple go on Vista again. The itinerary was amazing and the stateroom clean tidy and comfortable
