Vista TA Blog 10-22-16

We boarded the Vista around 11:00 am on Friday. It was a mass of confusion as the ship arrived into Barcelona a little late, unfortunately, many guests were not adhering to the time of arrival on their tickets and were so excited to sail this beautiful ship that they ended up holding the line up. Most cruise lines have pre-arranged times for you to board in order to avoid mass confusion etc. So when you have me book your next cruise please remember what time you should arrive at the port to avoid being turned away.

Here are some photos from Friday. Of course, you know we have to make a big splash with our matching shirts for embarkation day, next you will see our stateroom. I love the fresh colors and décor of the Vista. The atrium’s lovely
LED tower is mimicked on a much smaller scale in the casino where the bar is situated in the center of the casino. The IMAX theater plays first run movies, they showed the knock out movie “Sully” starring Tom Hanks last night. Alas, we chose to miss it. First because we had already seen it stateside and 2nd, and most important, we were exhausted, so we opted to go back to our room after dinner, watch a DVD we brought along and crash. Life is so good on the sea!
