Vista Suites are hands down one of my favorite staterooms!
Vista Suite 6329 on the Carnival Pride is located on 6th deck (Empress) and is on the Starboard (right) side.
When you open the door to Vista Suite 6329, you enter the foyer that leads to the living room. The foyer wall features a mirror and has a granite counter top with a shelf housing water, wine, and champagne glasses. The mini fridge is in the cabinet below.
The living room features a sofa, adjustable granite topped table and chair.
Across from the couch you'll find one of two TVs with the safe in the cabinet below and a storage cabinet on the bottom.
Walking past the living room, there's a small hallway where you can either go (right) out to the balcony, go (left) into the dressing area, or (straight) to the bedroom.
The dressing area features a large mirror with lights all around, a vanity table with ottoman and 5 drawers. The only outlet found in this stateroom is on the side of the vanity. You'll also find the hair dryer in the top drawer.
The bathroom features granite counter tops and a double vanity! There's an outlet coming off the ceiling in the bathroom for razor use only. There are 3 glass corner shelves on both sides of the bathroom mirror giving you a total of 6 shelves for toiletries.
Unlike regular staterooms that come with showers, Vista Suites have a jetted tub!
The bedroom has either a king bed or two twin beds, the second TV, three large drawers below and two sliding closet doors to the right. The closet has additional shelves and hanging space. There's a mirror along the majority of the wall behind the bed with a shallow granite counter above the bed that spans the entire wall.
The balcony is to die for!!! It spans the length of your room and wraps around the corner. You'll find three chairs, one lounge chair, and two tables. The balcony is barely covered so if it rains, everything will get soaked! Also, those staying in a Vista Suite on Deck 5 can look down and see you if you're standing at the railing.
If you're the type of cruiser who also enjoys private downtime in your room, I absolutely recommend spending some extra money to get a Vista Suite!
Cruise Hack: The walls are magnetic!
Purchase some magnetic hooks and put them on the walls to hold your hats, lanyards with your cruise card, and other small items to minimize clutter and keep things organized!
Differences between Vista Suites on various decks:
Deck 5 has the smallest room with Deck 6 being the 2nd smallest room/layout.
Deck 4 has the largest layout and a completely private (covered) balcony.
The balconies get less wide with less privacy as you go up each level. On Deck 8, people standing at the railing at Serenity can look straight down onto your balcony.
Deck 7 and 8 Vista Suites are pretty equal and have a maximum capacity of 3 guests.
