How much extra do the movies cost on the Vista?

It's called a multi function theater, in essence it smaller and the floor in front of the stage as flat with chairs and small tables that can moved (the redo of the Sunshine is whree this was piloted - as was several new concepts). The shows use part of this area during the show. There has been much talk about it here, with some saying the shows were overcrowded. Our experience in sailing on the Vista (and we went to all the shows) is they were never full. We loved the Vista, Galveston should be thankful for getting her.

Thanks Jimbo.

Not happy with this news at all. I don't like that the Vista doesn't have a proper theater. That's a MAJOR part of our cruising entertainment. Dream class is much better. :(

Never ben on Vista. What kind of theater do they have?

Getting very excited for cruise (only two weeks away). I have a few questions regarding the comedy club:

 

1. What are the show times?

2. How far before show starts would you recommend getting there?

3. Also how good are the comedians? We have gone to the comedy club in the past on Carnival, but it has been a while.

 

Thanks.

I believe we are on the same cruise. Mine leaves 2 weeks from tomorrow! :)

I'm wondering if they just don't list it, since they really only go that route about 3 times a year? I'm hoping it'll go that way too!

Not sure but its not on the website, or in the newsletter.

i too am disappointed no Bahamas!

Yeah but I am super stoked about the vista coming to Galveston. Just booked the Breeze for next January so that worked out great. Now I am feverishly looking at the Vista cruises right now to get the cabin I want and when I want to go! :):):):)

I love the fact that they keep bringing over these newer ships to Galveston. Lets me take cruises on them instead of having to go all the way to Florida to experience the newer ships. I am confused though as to why they are doing away with the Bahamas on the ship. I suppose that's because the freedom will still go:) there!

They do that because they are carnival's most demand port outside of Florida. So they are wanting to keep cruisers happy with bringing in the newer ships to the port.

That's what they are going to do prolly from now on is move the newer ship to Galveston and make room in Miami for the brand new ship. The horizon. That's what happened when the vista went to Miami.

I am sure or I would think that someone has brought that to their attention. I wonder if someone has what their response was. I go on the magic in 2 weeks. Maybe I will ask them but Dr E is not on there for my cruise so not sure what they would say.

So I have been on many cruises, and have went to many adult comedy shows. I have seen the comedy room completely full on many shows. I wonder if carnival would ever move the adult comedy shows back till maybe 11pm and move those shows into the main theater so there would be plenty of seating. What's your thoughts on that?

I have been on both and prefer the magic. To me the sunshine is way to compact. most places are smaller then most ships. but the sunshine does have a beautiful serenity deck. Now I am sure other peeps will have a different opinion then me. So that is just mine. you will have a blast on either one of them as long as they both get ya outta the us for vacation. 8-)

Thank you very much.

Has anyone heard of a 48 hour hold on a room with carnival. And if so can you tell me what all goes with requesting a 48 hour hold on a room. Thank you

Hello all, I am looking for a list of hotels around the seattle cruise terminal that has cruise parking as well. I don't have very much money so hoping to find cheaper rates with cruise parking. Thank you in advance.

Why all the excitement?? This itinerary has been around for several years.

Right, I was like ok i have been to the Bahamas several times out of Galveston. Maybe this is a lead to places other then Nassau and Freeport. Hoping anyways.:D

OMG we had a girls adult vacation, and we embraced all the kids. It was a blast. We did not encounter one rude or disrespectful child, maybe it was it was your attitude towards the situation. Just saying.....:D

You must be one of the parents that lets your kids run all over till 7am!!!!!!! Just saying:D

You may want to invest in a balcony room and pray for quiet neighbors. A cove balcony provides shelter from the sun. May be your best bet to stay away from people. It can be difficult to relax in quiet when some prefer to prefer to enjoy themselves a little loudly. :)

Yeah that usually works until my last cruise. DW and i were sitting on the balcony till the weed being smoked next door was just too much to handle. So we went inside. 2 Hours later we hear a bunch of banging outside my wife was scared i went out to the patio and the 2 guys that were smoking earlier were now fighting each other on their balcony and it busted down the divider between our balcony and there's. Needless to say the worst luck we have ever had on the Balcony.:) Just thought i would share.

We sailed on the Sunshine for two short days. We had a blast! First off let dm suggest to anyone sailing on the Sunshine eat at Cucina del Capitano and Ji Ji Kitchen. We ate at both and can easily say they were the best meals we have ever had on any cruise ship and well worth the extra cost. Red Frog is awesome and the foosball table was a bit hit with my son. The waterworks was spectacular and the Serenity decks were beautiful! Having something to do on deck four was nice and we enjoyed the more open piano bar. The sushi bar was delicious and very fresh. We did big see any buckets collecting water and we did not smell any of the sewage smell people have talked about. Our room was on deck six forward and we won't make that mistake next time. We could here the nightclub in the liquid lounge until 2:00 am both night. All in all a fantastic cruise and we will be sure to sail the Sunshine again!

Yeah, I was in an interior room on deck 7 above the theater/dance club and could hear nothing but Loud thumping every night till around 2 in the morning. I can only imagine how loud it was on deck 6.

I always tip 5 dollars and usually have just 1 bag.

Everyday i go to the carnival web site and click 1 person cruises and Miami always pulls up with these real cheap cruises. Like i just did it and you can go on a 7 day cruise for a total of 453 dollars. That's unreal!!!!!

Woman.:) And your welcome. Yup check with your PVP!

:eek: I am so sorry. sweetie!!!!!

Thanks everyone. Yeah i was on the dream last October and was wondering about the guys burger joint. LOL didn't wanna just put it out like that but looks like she won't be getting one anytime soon.

You mean you want to stay on a cruise that's just ending and book the next one leaving on that same ship while on that ship and then use the OBC towards the B2B? Only problem I see with this is if the next sailing is full. Plus Carnival may need time to process the OBC. You should post the question to John Heald or call Customer Service.

Yes thats what i am trying to say. LOL I will pose the question to my PVP. Mr Heald has enough things to deal with from other people. :) Thanks man

Is ES rate OBC refundable?

Not sure about that
