Our Carnival Vista B2B - Havana Style - (with pics!) - 4/14/24

vanislandcruisers · June 8

Another GREAT Review!!!

Thanks to both of you for sharing your B2B with us!!!

Stallion · June 8

If it was simply a matter of economics I wished they'd just keep the Vista Havana concept but open it up to maybe 50-75 more cabins-it still, would rarely be crowded but they could substantially increase revenue since they are getting a pretty high premium for those Havana cabins. The aren't getting the same premium on the new Havanas- at least when I have checked. I've got an aft-extended balcony on the Jubilee soon so I'll still get the pool view but wasn't going to pay premium for a shaded glorified jacuzi.

Was watching a video on YouTube just now. Spotted an extra that I recognized at the Havana Bar! I had to rewind and watch it again and sure enough! At the 14:10 mark we have our very own CC royalty making a guest appearance (uncredited) on the YouTube!!

Thanks for posting this. It's just a fleeting glance so I get no royalties! I did talk to them a few times while in the pool. Nice couple. 😃

I'm on the lookout for more Jeff spottings now as I watch the series 👀. Even more fun than duck hunting!!

I've heard of them but never actually watched their videos until now, good to know they are genuine sometimes you never know with these youtubers if they are just putting on an act or not!

Right now, not until December. Sadly, I think I am going to have to cancel it. I am hoping to book something for August, worst case scenario I will be on a ship somewhere for my birthday in October.

I also get last minute offers from Carnival casino (like 48 hours notice last minute) but every time I click them they have already sold out 🤣.

I'll be sure to post a link in my last review when the fates do line up on my side 😀.

Thanks 😀.

The one nice thing about reasonable time between cruises is you appreciate the little things more instead of stressing the changes.

That said, I'm ready to appreciate the little things already, let's go 😆!!

Celebrity, also where my next cruise will be if I pull the trigger on the cruise I'm looking at for August.

Fingers 🤞
