Vista/Caribbean

[Oceaniacruiser2023]

Any reviews on this? We want to stay close to home and are just going for the ship experience, not the ports. Sorry I can't seem to find the search function on this main board.

If a non-Caribbean Vista review will do, here's a recent one:

There is a lengthy topic here on CC from the same cruise. If I find it I'll post the link.

We are currently on a Vista Caribbean cruise and so far, it has been delightful.  We have found the ship to be beautiful, the staff friendly and the food delicious. If you are thinking about booking excursions, I would do so only for islands where the ship will dock.  We have already had one tender port on this voyage cancelled due to wind.

Am also on this cruise and agree with the poster. Most passengers are quite friendly, but there are also chair hogs in the heated loungers.

The sauna, tile loungers, locker room/showers are available to everyone. Just the T-pool and sun lounges are behind the access-controlled door.

When we were on the VISTA in Oct  the  heated lounges were on the spa deck & required key access

Did they move them since Oct?

On Vista there are heated loungers out on the spa deck....perhaps there are some elsewhere too on Vista....only commenting on Vista since that was the topic of this thread

Oops, sorry, thought we were on Riviera (mixing up threads while doing other stuff!). Vista's card-controlled area is much more enticing than the others.
