Christmas Vista: Embarkation

on
December 20, 2021

Good Morning! I stayed at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Webster last night. I like staying in Webster because there are plenty of food and shopping options in the area, hotel prices are lower than Galveston, and it’s a short drive to the port on embarkation day. This…

Christmas Vista: Planning

on
December 17, 2021

Booking

I actually booked Vista four times during the cruise shutdown. All were canceled. I booked it then because I knew Vista would be one of the first ships to return to service and because it’s an easy drive for me to Galveston. That would allow me to avoid having…

Dream Class vs. Vista Class

on
May 4, 2019

Prior to sailing on the Vista earlier this year, the Dream class (Dream, Magic, Breeze) was by far my favorite class of ship. Based on some of the reviews I had read, I expected that would remain the case after sailing on the Vista. I was wrong. I left…

Vista: Debarkation

on
April 27, 2019

Good morning from Galveston. It’s a bit foggy outside.

Matt said under these conditions it’s normally a 3-4 hour delay but the captain did a great job this morning. No debarkation until 8:30.

I’m checking out of my room. I stripped the beds for the steward. Hopefully that helps a…

Vista: 3rd Sea Day

on
April 26, 2019

Good Morning. I just got myself a white chocolate mocha at the coffee shop and went to the ocean plaza seeking debarkarkion luggage tags like they had on Dream. I don’t see the setup. I guess I need to read the debarkation paperwork a little closer.

Looking at the debarkation…

Vista: Cozumel

on
April 25, 2019

Good morning! We are still making our way to Cozumel. I have the Cozumel Barhop Tour booked for today. I want to have a quick breakfast so I can catch our arrival.

Two other ships are already in. I’m guessing something of the seas and Carnival Dream.

Here is today’s…

Vista: Grand Cayman

on
April 24, 2019

The day before yesterday I set my phone to not change time automatically. It worked great for yesterday. When my phone died and got recharged I guess that got reset some how. It was on eastern. I forgot to change it last night. So today I was up and…

Vista: Montego Bay

on
April 23, 2019

Last night I set my phone not to change time and I set my first alarm for 6:30. I woke up at 5:30. I could sleep another hour. But I can’t get back to sleep. And the more I lay here the more hungry I get. I think for…

Vista: 2nd Sea Day

on
April 23, 2019

Good morning from just off the coast of Cuba.

I got a good 7 hours of sleep after the kid next door quieted down. I woke up once at 7am. I think it was ship movement again. At 8:30 I knew I was pretty much up for good but decided…

Vista: 1st Sea Day

on
April 22, 2019

Good morning! I got a good 8 hours of sleep. I needed that. We hit some pretty rough waters this morning. It woke me up at 5:30am. And we’re still experiencing some though not nearly as bad as it was a few hours ago.

Its been awhile since I’ve been…
