Review summary

I would highly recommend this cruise and sailing on the Horizom.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
There were no lines at all. We went at our scheduled time and was on the ship when 10 minutes beginning an awesome vacation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
This was my eight cruise on Carnival and this was by far the BEST ship that I have been on. The food was excellent, the ship was clean and the speciality restaurants were excellent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The sky ride was fun. Pools were the same as all ships. They had pool tables on the sports level along with miniature golf, bean bag toss and other fun games.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The live show were excellent. By near the best I have seen on a ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Evelyn our room steward was great. Whatever I needed she made sure I received it. The waiters in the dining room were good. The cruise director was very funny and very nice.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very clean throughout. I really like the design of the buffet area. Well designed and ther was rarely any lines during peak dining times.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of storage for our clothes and suitcases. It was nice to have a mini fridge in the cabin to keep our water cold.

Ship tip

Try and book a room in the middle of the ship. This will put you in the center of all the activity.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Great port for the beach or pool. Very clean

La Romana, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Nice port but you will need to book some type of excursion because the shopping is limited.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Great port for shopping and seeing the town. Colors on all the building are beautiful.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Great island for beach activities or touring the island.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation is never a fun experience because no one wants to listen to instructions. Once they called our group number, getting off the ship was relatively quick.

We are doing this cruise in October. On other cruises we have done there were taxis at the port that take you for a tour of the island for 25.00 per person. Do these ports have that?
