• Horizons Restaurant: Choose Your Time Dining is available for this dining venue, which offers a menu of contemporary favorites mixed with new inventive dishes.

• Ji Ji Asian Kitchen: Enjoy your meal among Asian prayer rolls and Mongolian-inspired fabrics in this unique culinary experience, which includes a full-service menu featuring a mix of exotic and familiar dishes.
• Cucina del Capitano: This restaurant serves up Italian favorites family style and is adorned with old snapshots from the family albums of on-board officers.
• Guy's Burger Joint: This partnership with celebrity chef Guy Fieri brings passengers delicious burgers and fries amid a rustic atmosphere you’d find at, say, a roadside burger shack just off a coastal highway. 
• BlueIguana Cantina: Carnival's on-board Mexican restaurant serves up tacos, burritos and other Mexico-inspired fare and also features a salsa bar.

Bars & lounges

Havana Bar

This Latin-inspired venue on deck 5 is near the Havana pool area and offers Cuban cocktails such as the Havana Especial, Cuba Libre, classic mojitos, and even Cuban coffee. During the day, this bar is a bit quiet with several guests reading or playing cards in the venue. But the Havana Bar comes alive in the evenings with Latin music and dancing.

RedFrog Pub & Brewery

The next-generation RedFrog Pub comes with an amazing brewery that churns out its own microbrew options. Everything else there is to love about RedFrog Pub is back — the snacks, the games, the live music, plus atmosphere by the pint.

Activities

SportsSquare featuring SkyRide

At the all-new SkyRide, strap in and zip around a bike course high above the deck. The Clubhouse features indoor activities like mini-bowling and arcade-style basketball while soccer, volleyball and ping-pong are just steps away. Try for a hole-in-one at SkyGreens, sink threes on the basketball court, and push yourself to amazing new heights at SkyCourse, a ropes course.

Havana Bar & Pool

On Carnival Vista you'll find Havana Bar & Pool, an onboard space that's an exclusive retreat by day and a dancing hotspot at night. Grab a seat at the bar and order up handcrafted Cuban cocktails such as the classic mojito or a traditional daiquiri, plus fresh and free Cuban snacks. The bar is just steps from the Havana Pool, whose ocean view and atmosphere mingles with the bar’s own, for a bit of that old-time Cuban resort flavor.

Carnival Multiplex featuring IMAX

Two theaters make up the Carnival Multiplex. It features an IMAX Theatre — the first at sea — and Thrill Theater, a 3D experience where jump-off-the-screen visuals are only the beginning of a moving experience.

Carnival WaterWorks

Classic spiraling waterslides, a giant bucket, an expanded SplashZone, water toys and more are simply overflowing here for your hydro-delight. Make sure to see the all-new Kaleid-O-Slide. This raft slide — for one or two — takes speedy-good times to the next level with lights, colors and all-around fun.

Serenity Adult-Only Retreat

The Serenity Adult-Only Retreat is a world of complete peace, sea breezes and swaying hammocks. And now, you can get a light bite with a chopped salad station right here. 

Staterooms

Carnival Vista offers a wide variety of staterooms, including Havana-themed cabins complete with an outdoor shower and lounge-ready hammock. Family Harbor staterooms feature a nautical theme, while Cloud 9 Spa staterooms feature a relaxing setting matched by spa robes and slippers. Interior staterooms, ocean-view staterooms, balcony staterooms and suites are also available.
