Carnival Vista – Cruise Shipmate Review

First time on Vista February 8-15, 2020 Cozumel Grand Cayman Ocho Rios 8th deck mid ship-balcony Sailed with family and friends Early Dining-Reflections Dining Room Tea Time Put Put Golf Movies under the Stars Hot Tub/Pool Serenity Deck Guest Laundry Service Brunch MarketPlace Cherry on Top Comedy Club Ships bathroom Casino We attended/participated in all of the above. No complaints! Ship is beautiful! Elevator accessibility with no issues. Ports were ok with drug sniffing dogs on debarkation at Grand Cayman. Good weather at all ports. Mr.Sanchos at Cozumel, will NOT be going back. I paid $45 for 9 family members ($5 deposit for each for all inclusive) and was told they will refund me AT Mr. Sanchos if there were any changes with our group. Well, there WERE changes. I emailed Mr.Sanchos ABOUT the SPECIFIC changes IN THE NUMBER OF OUR GROUP COMING TO MR. SANCHOS and I received an email BACK from them saying no problem we will credit you when you get here. Well, what an embarrassment while holding up the line due to THEY DID NOT WANT TO REIMBURSE or give me credit even after I showed them all the copies of my paperwork INCLUDING the emails, finally a manager came and reimbursed me with cash. Once in, the wait staff were excellent keeping food and drinks on our table. Taxi ride to and from was $5pp. Calico Jacks at Grand Cayman was full and too crowded and taxi ride was $6pp. Next time will go to RPBC, went once before and loved it. Shopping in Ocho Rios drank a coconut water and got back on the ship for pool and hot tub. Food on ship was great. Wait staff excellent! Cleanliness of ship overall great! Clean bathrooms on decks we were on. Pool chairs and cabanas on Serenity were always available. Kids were in the hot tubs unsupervised, but what’s new.... our cabin temp WAS ALWAYS COMFORTABLE never hot never cold. Room service after the call arrived within 45 minutes. Tea Time was nice, lovely coffee cakes and cucumber sandwiches, we liked them anyway. Casino is always Smokey, we won 1/2 of what we spent. Go to the comedy clubs! Wait staff at Brunch was great but food delivery took over 1 hour and we were NOT impressed with the Brunch menu on this ship. Although we will NOT sail on Vista again, (the price is too high), we had fun and have our 5th cruise booked.
