Vista Evelators and 14th Floor! HUGE TIP!

[CarnivalPlatCruiser]

DONT GET A ROOM IN THE 14th FLOOR (SPA CABIN) ON THE VISTA. ONLY TWO ELEVATORS ON THE WHOLE SHIP GO TO THE 14th FLOOR AND THEY KEEP ONE OF THEM CLOSED, FOR STAFF USE, 90% OF THE TIME!

 

Elevator wait for the 14th floor is always a 10 minutes or so.

 

The whole elevator system needs revamped actually... Unlike most other ships, while there is 6 elevators at each section of the ship.... Every 2 have its own button... because of this...

 

Everyone presses all 3 buttons and takes the first one that comes, leaving the other two lit when they leave... So when your on an elevator, they stop at every floor, as their is almost always lit buttons... And no one gets on...

 

But especially, don't get a cabin on the 14th floor. lol

You can take the other four elevators up to 12 and walk up one. Good to work off some of that food. Lol

We use the stairs where there aren't any buttons! :eek::D

That's nothing new. Even on the old Holiday class vessels, the rear elevators only went up to the 8th floor, and you had to walk up a flight to get to the Lido Deck

 

Fantasy class had something similar on the fore lifts.

How many seperate threads are there going to be on your displeasure about the Vista?

[SadieN]

Just off the Inspiration. Each call button only called the elevators on their side.

 

All the Princess ships we've sailed have only certain elevators (2 out of 4) that either go all the way up or down to the 'hidden' MDR.

No 13th floor??

[shof515]

The same can be said for deck 1. Only 4 of the 6 or so elevator go there

Nope. Have you ever checked hotel floors? There is usually not a 13th.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Being born and married on Friday the 13th I can assure people there is no bad luck involved with the number 13.

There is, but you have to know the secret password to gain access.

Since this is a specific issue and may save someone with disabilities a ton of difficulty, and isn't really a "review or displeasure" I thought it worthy of its own thread. Don't like it... don't read it.

[riclop]

Thanks for the tip.

I work on the '14th' floor and have had no issues yet!

as many as it takes-- people who are not sailing Vista might just scroll by a full review because of the amount of pages it is on-- but small posts like this will be read more

I thought the elevators on the Vista are the worst at sea....and I've been on ALOT of cruises lol...

If people are not sailing Vista then neither thread would be relevant to them.

Both ARE about Vista.

And I noticed that only 1 of those 2 elevators continues up to the Serenity Deck (15), probably the one that's shut down for crew use.:D:eek: Guess folks not staying in a spa cabin (decks 11 forward, 12, and 14) will have to climb 2 or more sets of stairs to reach that. Might make it a tad less crowded.

We found the same on SunShine. We had Spa Cabin on 12, and only 2 elevators went up, of which one was 1/2 time not in service. Our next cruise on SunShine, we did spa cabin on 10. Access to all elevators, including the glass ones, our favourites.

Just off Vista Friday and we too had a deck 14 spa cabin. We thought the elevators were very small even though max capacity says 18, we never got close to that but several times felt very crammed as well as very HOT on them. You usually deal with packed elevators the first day and last day of cruise but this time it was like that the entire cruise. We would usually take the elevator to floor 12 if not lucky enough to catch one of the two that went to 14 and walk up one level, same for going down.
