Nice to see another EPIC review from you!

I’m truly glad that your dog is ok. I was imagining the worst case scenario for him.

Are you asking what could have been done to prepare the pup? If so, I could think of multitudes of things. Too many to list. The owner of the dog would know best how to prepare him for a trip away from home for multiple nights in strange circumstances.

While I agree they were not being intentionally cruel, I still think it was cruel to neglect preparing this animal to be on a cruise ship for multiple nights away from land. Much could have been done.

I feel it was cruel to take the dog on a cruise with no access to land without preparing it to potty on something familiar that they could have brought along. 28 HOURS without relieving itself?!?!

Following! I’m also 25+ cruises on Carnival and have my first cruise on another line booked for next month. Royal Caribbean. Looking forward to your comparisons! Hope you have a great cruise with your mom!

Thanks for the review! I hear that Vista has a dry dock scheduled for January 2024. I hope this fixes the propulsion problem. We are sailing on her next year for the first time.

Hello! We will be sailing on Vista for the first time as well. From the reviews I have read, most people dislike the two things you have mentioned (closed-off atrium and horrible main theatre seating). You found the best theatre seats to be upstairs? Any particular area upstairs? How early did you get to the theatre to get your preferred seats? Thanks for the advice.

Thank you so much! 😊

I’m new to Royal. Sailing on the Serenade of the Seas. I realize it is an older ship. Do we need to reserve shows on Serenade?

That’s terrible! My Sister booked an adjoining cabin for an upcoming cruise on the Vista. I hope they don’t have a screaming child next to them! For what it’s worth, I previously sailed in an adjoining cabin on Mardi Gras ( only availability left) and didn’t hear anything from next door. Maybe soundproofing is better on the newer ships.

No Priority tender for clamshell rentals.

I’ve been late due to traffic driving to port and was able to board as soon as I got to port.

I have played three times. Haven’t won anything!

Great review so far! We love the Mardi Gras:)
