Carnival Vista
#1 in Best Carnival Cruises
Carnival Vista debuted in May 2016 as the line's largest ship. Welcoming up to 3,934 passengers and 1,450 crew members, Carnival Vista offers unique dining, entertainment and cabin options not found on other Carnival ships. In addition to Carnival staples like kids clubs, an adults-only retreat and an onboard water park, new activities include the SkyRide suspended bike course, the first Imax theater at sea, a 3-D theater and a Dr. Seuss-inspired library.
But recent passengers were most impressed with the accommodations. Typical cabin categories (Interior, Ocean View, Balcony and Suite) are available, but cruisers recommend splurging on one of the new cabin types: the Family Harbor or Havana staterooms and suites. Those who select Family Harbor cabins receive exclusive 24-hour lounge access with free breakfast and snakc and kid-friendly movies and games. Plus, children staying in these rooms enjoy free meals at most specialty restaurants and a free night of babysitting. Havana category rooms cater to adults with private access to a private bar and pool, as well as extra-large outdoor spaces and rainfall showers in suites.
Dining options are just as diverse. While the Lido buffet offers everything from pizza and pasta to stir-fry and salad, other options include BlueIguana Cantina, Fat Jimmy's C-Side BBQ, as well as four specialty restaurants (meals at which are not included in your overall cruise fare).
