pete1681 Posted May 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Freedom is a great ship,you won't be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry74 Posted May 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I had the same dilemma. I went with Freedom for the longer cruise for just a little more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydstosser Posted June 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2017 We have Cruised on many ships and companys and every ship has something that is good and special. Carnival Magic has Comedy Club, its absolutely awesome, P & O Oceana had some very very fantastic entertainers, Freedom have the Promenade and Johnny Rockets, Norwegian Breakaway had "The Waterfront" so therefore every ship is great in my opinion :-) Best regards Krydstosser (Means Cruise crazy in danish) Don´t mind my spelling i am from Denmark :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEALKITTY Posted July 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Went on Vista last fall from Barcelona and had the worst food EVER on any ship plus spent more time waiting on elevators than any other ship out of the 12 I've been on. One Platinum lady at our table was so furious with the consistently awful food that she finally DEMANDED to see the chef and when he came out she literally ripped him a new one! The only good thing was the quality and variety of music. Haven't been on Freedom but am 100% confident it will be better than Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseman52b Posted July 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 9, 2017 We sailed on Vista this past March and were not overly impressed. There are some nice features, but we enjoyed Valor and the smaller Carnival ships that we had sailed in the past. It's not a big ship thing either as we have sailed Harmony and Oasis and loved those ships. We are sailing on Freedom this November and have heard mostly good things about her.

I concur--Vista actually felt smaller and more cramped compared with other smaller ships like Navigator due to most usually open spaces like the central atrium being filled in with more cabins at the cost of soaring vertical space.

DebJ14 Posted July 9, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 9, 2017 We're going to give the Vista a try, but only because of the Havana area. Looking forward to having a pool and hot tubs that are not overrun with little kids. Kids have to be over 12 to be booked into a Havana cabin.

Rare crewsweeper Posted July 9, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 9, 2017 We're going to give the Vista a try, but only because of the Havana area. Looking forward to having a pool and hot tubs that are not overrun with little kids. Kids have to be over 12 to be booked into a Havana cabin. We sailed the Vista this past January. We were in a spa cabin. Havanas were booked when we signed up. Spa isn't worth the $ though. Very small. Gym was okay. We liked the serenity deck and several of the dining venues (ate in the MDR only on the 2 elegant nights. The Pub with it's craft own craft beer, and the Havana Club were great lounges. Alchemy was good too. We're on the Oasis this next January, so I'll have a better comparison then. We did book the new Carnival Horizon for 2019 and were able to get a Havana deck cabin.
