The dance floor is packed with ladies who can’t help but get up and salsa to the band’s infectious Cuban beat, while half a dozen bartenders muddle mojitos and dance with daiquiris.

The Havana Bar on Carnival Vista not only sounds and feels like an authentic club in Cuba, it’s even got its own palm-fringed outdoor terrace with a pool where patrons can take a late-night dip. 

It’s the kind of experience that’s become possible as Carnival thinks ever bigger with its new ships. We’re on board the Carnival Vista, wider and taller than any of her sisters and packed with features that can make even this 4,000 passenger ship feel like it has spaces personalized for you.
