Carnival Vista takes cruisers to new horizons.
Carnival vista might be described as a blushing bride, in that she brings something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue to the horizon. As Carnival Cruise Line’s newest flagship — its first new ship since 2012’s Carnival Breeze — the 3,936-passenger
Carnival Vista most definitely borrows from founder Ted Arison’s concept of cruise vacations for all, while floating out new or expanded Fun Ship ideas.
Some Things New _ A unique atrium concept sets the mood with the multi-deck, mushroom-like Dreamscape sculpture that features colorful ever-changing LED screens. There’s also the first IMAX Theatre at sea — a 187-seat, three-deck-high screen that shows first-run movies, family favorites, and documentaries — as well as a multidimensional Thrill Theater experience with amazing effects and visuals. Both theaters are part of the new Carnival Multiplex, which comes complete with a concession stand.
Other new entertainment options include Playlist Productions’ three new shows that combine live performances with LED staging and special effects. Amor Cubano: A Caribbean Dance Romance blends classic Latin songs with today’s hits; Flick: The Power of Motion Pictures celebrates some of the greatest songs in film; and America Rocks! is a high-energy rock show made up of American classics — complete with glow sticks and all.
