caribbeanboy Posted December 17, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Which one would you recommend? Vista is a 6 night cruise to Ocho Rios, George Town & Cozumel and Magic is a 7 night cruise to Isla Roatan, Belize, Cozumen and Costa Maya. Price is more or less the same.

louanne93 Posted December 17, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2016 We had the same choice for our 24th anniversary cruise in April 2018 and we chose the Magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatt2ed Posted December 17, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Even tho ive never sailed the magic I would do the magic simply for the one additional port day. Vista was nice but not nice enough to sacrifice a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcvtmom Posted December 17, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I'd always choose an extra day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubonnet Posted December 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 21, 2016 As Texans, we've sailed on the Magic four times. We found the ship to be clean, well laid-out, and staff to be amazing. We enjoyed the cove balconies, as well as spa balconies. Lines on Lido could be long, and there was an odd milky-smell on occasion, but the boat felt open and large. We also sailed on the 11-day repositioning of the Vista from New York to Miami. The Vista is also clean and possesses very friendly staff, but we found the layout of the ship to be less than stellar. Vista is well decorated, and sometimes you don't feel like you're on a floating mega ship, but when do notice, you really notice. We found our room (a suite on deck 7) to be very warm in the evenings (despite calling for service,) the liquid lounge to be poorly designed for production shows, and lines for almost everything (with the exception of the IMAX shows.) One afternoon a "guess that 80's song" trivia game and a Bingo were scheduled back-to-back in the Ocean Plaza. The space could not contain all the guest and groups spilled into Java Blue, the Taste Bar, and the floor (no seating to be found.) I was a bit disappointed. The steakhouse and chef's table have also been booked for out for a while from what I understand as well. Grand Cayman is lovely--check out Seven Mile beach. We're also big fans of Anthony's Key on Roatan. Cozumel is excellent for shopping though the new La Casa en La Playa excursion was wonderful--drinks snorkeling, tasty food, clean sand! The Belize Zoo is nice too, a hidden gem actually. (I think I'm biased here towards the Magic--either way it'll be great!) Good Luck with Planning, Blu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricy99 Posted December 23, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I had the same question and voted for the magic. It gave us one extra day also. Let us know which one you decided on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
