Review summary

We have always liked cruising with Carnival and will continue to do so. We enjoyed the Carnival Horizon and look forward to cruising on the newer ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth, although our specified time slot was not honored, we were told that it was not neeeded and had to join the line with everyone else.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We only attended one dining room and that was great. Food choices I felt were insufficient and we had dinner at the Buffet a few times as a result.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
It was roo windy to play pool or mini golf. Tried the bean bag toss and used the walking track

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We have seen better performances on previous Carnival ships. The singing was okay however the dancing was amateurish.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward was excellent responded defectively and timely to a couple of requests. All of the waiters seemed to be funny and polite. Got a bit of misinformation from the duty free store regarding alcohol limit. We were cautioned by US Customs for bringing too much.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
A 2 year old ship, Washroom was new and very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
room was great, slightly larger than we expected and it came with a window.
