Review summary

Had a very good time on the Carnival horizon.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Getting on the ship was very slow. There was a very long line outside to get in, first time seeing that.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Guy's Barbecue restaurant is ok, but I actually like their seaday fare a whole lot better. They change the sauces for the restaurant and in my opinion are not as good. Seafood shack awesome. Dining room awesome, multitude of choices, turkey bacon could have been a lil better but it was ok though.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Skyride was a lot of fun. Line would move a lot faster if people would actually peddle faster. My Grandson really enjoyed the Dr Seuss Waterworks . Fitness center was ok, not crowded at all, Watched the final 2 games of the Nba finals on the ship, had the absolute BEST time doing it. Very festive atmosphere. The Celestial strings show was pretty good as well. Karaoke game show was ok. I enjoyed everything I participated in on the boat but the Nba finals was the best. I had the best seat, facing the big screen.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
All activities in the liquid lounge were superb. Even had our muster station drill in there. Celestial strings show was good. Had a good time at the Love and Marriage show.

Dr Seuss waterpark and slide was a hit with my grandson.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward Jovanna did her job well.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I witnessed personnel making every effort to remove dirty dishes, creating an overall air of cleanness throughout the ship. Every bathroom I used was clean and smelled fresh

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Toilet seat needed adjusting upon us arriving to the room. Mentioned it to our steward and it was fixed in no time.

Ship tip

Ship is crowded. Just prepare for it mentally.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

Had a good time here. Didn't get to go to the chitzen ruins like I wanted to this time. Went to an average beach down the street from the port. The locals do a lot of begging though. Prepare yourself mentally for it. You'll have very little quiet time to yourself, every minute a local comes up and will try and sell you a shawl , a curtain, or some mitts with the Dallas cowboys or Los Angeles Lakers nitted on them. I like to support and I try my best to do so but sometimes you just wanna chill with your family without someone coming up to you trying to get you to buy a stick with carved to look like Los Angeles dodgers bat

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
Worst Port I've been to in the Caribbean. Other than high end shopping, Turtle farms and stingray exhibits, not a lot to do here. They have a place called Hell.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Very nice time in Jamaica. Highlight of our ports. Dunn's River falls was outstanding. Had a beautiful time.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Elevator system works good until you are getting off the ship for the final time or on the ship for the first time. The elevator system creates a crowd and the crowd ' bottlenecks' so to speak.

Traveler Photos

South Beach View of the Nba finals game on ship Dr Seuss Waterworks Sauces inside the restaurant are not as good as these. Dunn's River falls Guy's smokehouse.!!!!
