Carnival Vista
Carnival Vista Casino Review
If youre looking for a Doral casino, you dont just have to stick to the shore. Florida is the place where a lot of the big cruise ships dock, each with their own onboard casino. Carnival Vista is a case in point, one of the biggest and newest ships in the Carnival fleet (though not the largest) and a place where slots and table games sit alongside a magnificent holiday experience.
Casino Games
One thing you can be sure of when you board a cruise ship is a comprehensive experience. That extends to the casino, which has all the games and features wed expect in the best casinos in USA. Slots open at 7am, and table games open at 10am.
Slots
There are plenty of penny slots in the Carnival Vista Casino, but you do have some higher-denomination options as well. Games include some big-name titles such as Buffalo Gold, Neptunes Quest, Sky Rider, Wonder Woman Wilds and Wheel of Fortune.
Table Games
Then theres the table games section, where youll find poker, blackjack and roulette. Experienced hosts ensure you know what youre doing and help make the most of play.
Features and Amenities
Like other Carnival cruises, Carnival Fiesta puts a lot of effort into ensuring its guests have fun. One of its most notable features is the SkyRide, but there are activities for all the family, with a diverse range of dining and entertainment options.
Accommodations
Carnival Vista rooms come in three categories: standard interior, balcony and stateroom. Each has a television, fridge, hairdryer and safety deposit box. Havana cabins are Cuban-themed and include exclusive access to the Havana bar and pool, Family Harbor cabins have two bathrooms, and Cloud 9 Spa cabins allow entry to fitness classes and the thermal suite.
Dining
Take a tour around the world with the different Carnival Vista dining options. Guys Burger Joint, Guys Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que, Pizzeria del Capitano, BlueIguana Cantina, Bonsai Sushi, Seafood Shack and Mongolian Wok take you from the U.S. to Italy to Mexico to Mongolia.
For an extra fee, you can eat at Cucina del Capitano, the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse or Jijis American Kitchen. Then theres the big restaurant, Horizons, or the smaller Reflections. You can go simpler with a buffet at the Lido Market or Cherry on Top, the Shake Spot and the Java Blue Cafe for coffee, milkshakes, snacks and desserts.
Entertainment
One of Carnival Vistas most exciting new activities is SkyRide, a coaster that basically puts you on a flying bicycle. Theres also an aquapark known as WaterWorks. SportsSquare offers bowling, basketball, minigolf and a ropes course.
For the less energetic, inside activities include the art gallery; video arcade; IMAX theater; Hasbro the Game Show, where board games come to life; Playlist Productions shows; and the Punchliner Comedy Club. Some live entertainment is family-friendly, while others air late at night for adults only.
Loyalty Program
Although the casino itself doesnt have a specific loyalty program, sailing on a Carnival cruise allows you to join the VIFP club. Enter the blue tier on your first sailing and the red on your second, then collect points to work through gold, platinum and diamond. With each tier, you gain more exclusive discounts and offers onboard.
Overall Review
The Carnival Vista Casino FL is just a small part of the overall experience of a vacation on the Carnival Vista cruise ship, but its an exciting aspect with lots of different slots and table games. On board the Carnival Vista, your entertainment options are pretty much endless, with something for the whole family.
