We are so excited to share with you this photo and video tour of the Carnival Vista! This ship is absolutely amazing! We had the opportunity to sail on the second cruise out of Barcelona during the ship's time in the Mediterranean. There are so many cool innovations and new things to experience on the Carnival Vista!
From the brand new Imax at sea to the Red Frog Brewery and pub you will not be bored on the Carnival Vista!!! Even after spending more than a week on the ship, we were finding new things on our final days on board. I could have easily spent a few weeks exploring the Carnival Vista.

Carnival Vista Photo and Video Tour
Carnival Vista Atrium
The Carnival Vista Atrium draws you in from the moment you walk onto the ship. We found ourselves walking towards the atrium often just to see what was playing on the screen. I posted a Facebook live while on the ship and someone asked me if the stingrays were real the video image is that good. LOL!
Carnival Vista Restaurants and Bars
There are so many great restaurants and bars on the Carnival Vista! You can easily eat at a different restaurant every night of your cruise!
Havana Bar
This is the place to be on the Carnival Vista! Live music, great dancing, and delicious food! We spent many hours hanging out with the Havana Bar! Get there early because it is going to be busy!
Reflections dining room on the Carnival Vista
The main dining room is elegant, modern, and comfortable at the same time.
JiJis on the Carnival Vista
JiJis offers lunch and dinner on the Carnival Vista. There is a small charge for meals but it is so worth it. Make sure and try the pork belly! You will want to try JiJis early in your cruise because once you have it once you are going to want to go back again and again.
Fahrenheit 555 on the Carnival Vista
Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse offers premium cut steaks, lobster, and fine dining onboard the Carnival Vista. There is a surcharge for dining at Fahrenheit 555 but it is really worth it. The perfect restaurant to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or have a date night on board the ship.

SkyBox Sports Bar
Don't worry about missing your favorite games while on your cruise! Just head to the Sky Box Sports bar and cheer on your team with fellow cruisers!
Library Bar
If you are looking for a quick and easy glass of wine head to the wine bar! All you have to do is swipe your cruise card and pick the wine you would like to enjoy and how big of glass you would like.
Cucina Del Capitano
I have to admit that Cucina Del Capitano is probably my favorite restaurant on any of the Carnival Cruise Ships! The food is so good and I would happily spend every night of our cruise there.

You can have your room decorated if you are celebrating while onboard a Carnival Cruise! I surprised John with birthday decorations since we were cruising near his birthday.

There is so much to see, do, eat, and enjoy on the Carnival Vista! Even after a close to two-week cruise on the Carnival Vista I still feel like there is more to see and do on the ship!

This is a great way to keep up with what is happening onboard the Carnival Vista
I also suggest taking part in the Groove for St. Jude to help support St. Jude during your Carnival Cruise!

I love Carnival Vista! She is such a perfect size. Not too big and not too small. And SO many industry firsts: the IMAX Theater, the Sky Ride and the first craft brewery at sea - it’s spectacular!
