All about the Carnival Vista

The Carnival Vista was built in 2016. It's considered a medium size ship. Coming in at 1,055 ft long and 122 ft wide, it's roughly the length of 2.9 football fields, as wide as 2.3 tractor trailers and the same height as a 15 story building.

The Carnival Vista can hold 3,934 based on double occupancy (two people per room) and more when you take into account 3rd and 4th passengers. When you compare the number of people to the total tonnage of the boat, the Vista has a space to person ratio of 33. Depending on this stip, this number can range from 30 to 52 (with a bigger number meaning more spacer per person) so this ship has less space per person than average.

Dining Establishments

Food is a big part of any cruise, and on the Carnival Vista, there will be plenty of it. You have 23 different dining options to choose from. Of those options, 13 are complementary, or included with your cruise fare. The other 10 options have an additional fee. Some options are a set price and some are a'la cart menu pricing. 57% of the dining options are included which means if you're watching your budget, you won't feel like you're missing out by not going to a lot of extra fee dining places.

There are also plenty of bars available on this ship. Alcohol is not included in the base price of this cruise ship. To see if you would save money with a drink pacakge, try our Drink Package Calculator.

Pools and Hot Tubs

Nothing beats relaxing by a pool with a nice drink in hand as you feel the fresh sea breeze pass by you. The problem is that with thousands of people on a ship, there's not always room. We're a firm believer that if you want to just spend all day for 7 days in a pool, a cruise isn't for you. You would have a much better bet choosing a resort with a huge pool complex. That being said, a quick dip in the pool can be nice on a hot day. The Carnival Vista has a total of 3 pools and 6 hot tubs.

Tired of loud kids and splashing? 2 of the hot tubs are adults only. 1 of the pools and 2 of the hot tubs are exclusive access, which means there's either an extra charge to access them or you need to book a certain class of cabin to have access to them.

Ammenities

There are quite a few things to do on the Vista. These are the main ammeneites that are available. Some are included in the cost of the cruise, while other have an additional charge.
