Review summary

We loved this cruise. It was the first time we went on one of the really big ships and wondered if it would be overwhelming. It was not. The bigger ship meant more room to spread out and more things to do. Did not feel crowded. Wanted to do imax but thought overpriced considering price already paid for cruise. Did enjoy poolside movies. Loved the many and varied dining options and food was tasty. One suggestion - don’t overcook beef. One suggestion on soft drink program...have places to swipe card and serve yourself, instead of having to go to bars and wait. Felt it was sometimes a challenge to get money’s worth. On hub app, which is awesome, have ship GPS. Be able to enter where you are on the ship and where you want to go, and it helps you get there. Love the pixel upgrades, no more hunting through paper photos. Perfection. Great experience aboard Carnival Horizon. Thanks to Lois Klein for suggesting!
