Loving the review and pics. Can you explain about the Family Lounge? Is this exclusive area to families or passengers in certain category of cabin?

Located mid ship is the Reflection Restaurant. This restaurant has only one level.

Then you encounter the galley which forces you to either go up or down one deck to get to the back (aft) of the ship where you will find the Horizon Restaurant which encompasses 2 decks.

Welcome back....always enjoy your reviews! Looking forward to the rest of your review.

 

Carnival just announced that the Vista will be coming to Galveston next year. Galveston is 30 minutes from our house so we are booking a cruise tomorrow for when it gets here. Thinking about booking a Havana balcony on deck 5 to try something different.

Just read the Galveston announcement as well. Was initially thinking, should be sure to squeeze the Breeze in before she leaves, especially in light of the terrible Vista feedback. But this thread has completely changed my outlook. The ship looks nice, and so long as it has Cove Balconies, we're in!

Do you mind me asking what cove balcony cabin # you were in? Have never had one, but loved that you weren't being obstructed by anything!

I noticed from your pic that a cove balcony is much closer to the water. Just wondering about the possibility of getting water up onto balcony in rough seas? I know, I over think things, and worry about things that may never happen! Lol!

[MikeyA53]

Great pics, especially the night shots of the city.

 

 

Thank you. :)

OMG! I can't believe I stumble on your review. It was about 2 weeks ago you came to mind and was wondering how I haven't seen anything from you in quite awhile. Welcome back. Can't believe it's over 2 years. OK let me get back to the review.:cool:

 

Thanks you.:D

I read somewhere that Cove Balconies are about 30 feet above the water which is approximately 3 stories high. We also had a cove balcony on Breeze. Personally I have never felt the spray of water but I think it does happen especially near the front of the ship.

 

When we first inspected our balcony on Vista there was a thin coat of salt on the railing and on the outer edge of the floor which I wiped. They have a port day where they clean all the cove balconies. You are notified by a note left in your cabin.

We have sailed 3x in a cove on the Breeze. There is a heavy steel door that they close over your door to the balcony in the event of rough seas. They close them from the outside. You can still see out of the window next to the door but I doubt you'd want to in rough seas. We had salt on the railing every day. After or first cruise on the Breeze I took some folded paper towels to wipe the rail in the morning so we could put our arms up there. The furniture didn't seem to be a problem. I know the cabin steward would clean it if asked but we get up early and prefer to not bother him/her.

Starting from the bow you have the Liquid Lounge which is the ship’s main lounge. Instead of the usual 3 deck configuration, this lounge in smaller with moveable seats.
