Review summary

As stated above, this was my first time on a cruise with my boyfriend and his family. I did all the research on this ship way before i even paid it off. I was really bummed to learn that the Skyride was not working... we were told that the ride was in the process of being repaired and may work along the trip but it never did. I watched so many youtube videos of other people on this ride & read reviews about how fun this ride was and i didn't get to experience it.

I was highly disappointed that the SkyRide was closed. One of the main reasons i booked the Carnival Horizon was after watching YouTube videos & hearing peoples reviews on how fun it was. This being my first cruise ever I chose this ship specifically so i felt like i didn't get my entire fun experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

As a first timer with anxiety of being in small spaces.. i was worried about the size and comfort of the cabin. I have shown pictures and recommended this cabin to anyone with the same fears and already convinced a few people to book future trips. The cabin was very roomy and open. I felt comfortable and made the trip enjoyable.
