We were excited to see Vista pulling in, but she just parked in the spot that the Pride had just vacated. We left before they started the move to dry dock.

WackyWayne Posted July 16, 2019 #53 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Carnival has posted 9 videos from their CCL drone. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnUTmArdJk2vMLbNyLmtuiw/videos or search for "CCL Drone". They have drone videos showing the prep, loading and sailing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TXW50KzGUc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NebraskaSatellite Posted July 20, 2019 Author #54 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The Vista and Boka Vanguard are out of the port at the anchorage now. Probably getting ready to refloat her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisologist Posted July 22, 2019 #55 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I wish it was a full makeover dry dock. That is one ugly ship on the inside. Whatever design company they went with was awful. The most drab decor I have ever seen on a ship and I have 74 cruises completed. The MDR looks like cold war Russia surplus army dining. The comedy club furniture is broken, stained, and sticky.

Haven't been on her, but pictures of the MDRs don't look anything like the dining room at the Hotel Rossia in Moscow in 1978...Food can only be better.

Just because I dislike ONE ship does not make me an unhappy person. I have 74 cruises which means I do know what I'm talking about. Cruise 75 and 76 are now booked....which means I'm a happy camper 🙂 For the love of God people, I gave my opinion on ONE ship....Vista....and it is ugly and drab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisologist Posted August 2, 2019 #61 Share Posted August 2, 2019 40 Carnival cruises 20 RCCL 4 Celebrity 9 Princess 1 NCL Cruise number 75 and 76 are booked with Carnival and RCCL. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion on any given single ship and it does not mean that the whole cruise line is bad. I have been on enough cruises to know what I'm talking about. There is only one cruise line (as a whole) that was the most awful cruise I've ever been on. By my list....take a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the entire crew gets off in Galveston - I would think they don't have the right visas for that, in general. So they must remain on the ship, and guess just keep cleaning, painting, and whatever. Anyone able to chime in on that line of thought? Waiting in line to get our passports checked during a B2B and saw at least a thousand crew leaving, some for the day, others with suit cases for a vacation!

EM Actually we have been in both, the Rossiya about 15 years ago before it was torn down, and the Vista is far better looking!-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interior of the ship is the new way for Carnival, all of their ships are moving towards that. You can obviously like what you like, was trying to understand where you are coming from. Did I say you thought everything was bad? Sail the older ships, but anything new will look like the Vista. Cannot argue with the NCL appraisal at all. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCL cruise was the only cruise I ever wished was over by the third day. By the way, my last Carnival cruise was on May 6th out of Seattle on The Legend. Alaska was fabulous and the Legend is a great ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
