Review summary

It provided a wonderful memory for my family. Always something to do. Great staff everywhere. If you want to be taken care of, go cruising. The only slight negative. Is the ship seemed very rocky. No bad weather, no high seas. Lots of workers mentioned this has been an issue and they dont know why. Lots people where complaining. Just kinda strange for the size of the ship. But, it was manageable

Embarkation

Was emailed to come an 1 hour later. At, it still took 2 hours past our time to board. And I was talking with people who had a later check in time, who was there at 10am, and they got to board early.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining was great. Pleanty of choices and taste. Only did buffet a little and it was good. Great choices. Deli sandwiches are awesome

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Everyone should do sky ride at least once. The ropes were a little more challenging with the wind.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Shows are great. Awesome energy. To do the same act week after week. Perform night after night. They are very talented group of people

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Loved our wait staff. Hated to tell them goodbye. Never really interacted with our room steward. But everything always was the way we like it

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Layout of the ship is not my favorite. But it sure us pretty and clean. Those people never quit working on cleaning that ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was awesome. Great views and spacious. Balcony seemed a little smaller than the one we had on the oasis but still nice

Ship tip

Lot of carnival ships offer what horizon has on it. If your not into sky ride and ropes or Havana bar. Save some money and go on another ship
