Carnival Vista cruise ship returned to Port Canaveral, Florida USA after completing a 30-day drydock refurbishment during which she underwent several enhancements.
Notable upgrades include CCL’s iconic red-white-blue hull livery, the brand's signature Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge, new retail shops, a revamped teen club, a video arcade, and an expanded Casino.
Among the various refreshed interior public spaces, the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge stands out as a significant addition. This venue, which pays homage to military veterans and active-duty service members, is part of an expanding concept across the fleet. Additionally, the casino has been expanded with a new layout, complemented by the inclusion of a separate non-smoking annex.
For avid shoppers, there are newly established outlets such as the Effy Jewelry store and the Cherry on Top. The teen demographic is catered to with the creation of a new Club O2 in a different location, while the ship’s arcade has been relocated and revamped. Furthermore, the Lido Marketplace has been refreshed with a new aesthetic.
With max passenger capacity 4000, Carnival Vista resumes year-round roundtrips from Port Canaveral, offering primarily 6- and 8-day itineraries featuring popular destinations like Half Moon Cay Bahamas; Grand Turk; Aruba; Puerto Rico; St Maarten; and St Thomas USVI.
The vessel is part of Carnival’s 4-ship deployment in Central Florida, which includes Carnival Freedom, Carnival Liberty, and Mardi Gras.
