Review summary

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was great considering I purchased Fast to the Fun (FTTF).

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was great in the main dining room. It was nice to have the Maitre D come check on my group after fixing our seating arrangements. I had a chance to experience the Steakhouse for the first time aboard the ship. It was a wonderful experience. I also visited Pig n Anchor on the first Sea day and thought the food was okay but tasted better on the Magic.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The waterslide was lots of fun. However the Skyride was down during the whole Cruise due to a Mechanical Safety repairs. The Cruise ship did notify us a week before boarding. This didn't make me happy but know Safety is ALWAYS First.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Entertainment was Phenomenal. All the shows and parties with the CD was great. I thought the DJ was one of Carnivals. He kept the party going in the club every night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The waiters in the dining room done an excellent job serving us. The room Stewart did pretty good. He did forget to give us our VIFP pins even after we reminded him. I surely wanted mine too since going Gold I am collecting them. Overall he still done a great job. Guest service was great as assisted with my FTTF issue quickly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship designs was stunning. This is the most beautiful and a by far the cleanest Carnival ship I have been on. It was absolutely Beautiful.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
My cabin was nice a clean and suspicious. The bed was very comfortable and the balcony view was stunning.

Ship tip

The Horizon is a Beautiful ship. If you get the opportunity to Cruise on it please do so. You will not be disappointed.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Miami Port area is beautiful. There was lots to do in the port area. I only did site seeing to my timeframe of arrival to port.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
I have the opportunity at this port to experience the lifetime excursion. I did the Blue Hole River Tubing excursion in the most beautiful water ever. I was not disappointed at all. This excursion gave me a whole difference view about Jamaica.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

I didn't get off the ship at this port due to an onboard wedding I was in at this port. I did stand on my Balcony and see the Tender boats taking everyone to the Island.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel is one of my favorite Ports. I did an All Inclusive excursion at Mr. Sanchos Beach Resort. It was all of that and more. I got more than my money worth on this Excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I must say disembarkation went exceptional well and fast. Miami Port for me is by far has been the best for disembarkation.
