Review summary

It was a fun and relaxing cruise, I was never bored and certainly never hungry. I went to all the performances, the comedy club, watched a football game in the Skybar and enjoyed the Dive In movies. I also managed to eat everywhere that was free (some of the restaurants have free lunch options, which I strongly recommend, especially the buffet at Guy's Pig and Anchor). I am glad to be home, but am already planning my next Carnival cruise.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was fine, but my mom needs wheelchair assistance and the fellow who was helping her on to the ship had never done this before and it showed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I love the food on Carnival and I ate like a Queen. I especially love the Sea Day Brunch (maybe too much, I gained 8 pounds in a week, but it was worth it)

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is always something to do, I enjoyed the sunrise stretch and abs class, the Dive-In movies and the Clue Mystery game.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Horizon had the best entertainers in the fleet, I loved the performances and Lip Sync Battle was surprisingly fun.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone is so nice, almost too nice (I feel guilty having people wait on me hand and foot)

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I like the design and layout, but the restrooms near the venues are always crowded and people are gross

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ship tip

We loved our cabin, even though we didn't have a balcony, we had a tub which was nice to relax in after a long day of excursions.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
We have been to this port several times, so we actually decided to get off for just an hour or so but head back on the ship early to enjoy the shorter lines and the port day matinee.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We did an excursion and our driver was funny and the other passengers were all friendly.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We went on a great excursion, sadly the butterfly garden had been destroyed in hurricane Irma and I had been looking forward to visiting it, but we still had a good time

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It went as well as possible, there are always long lines and confusion when you are trying to get 4 thousand people off a ship.
