Review summary

The Horizon is a beautiful ship ! Lots of food options and the serenity deck is fantastic! The sky ride is a lot of fun ! Mike Pack is an amazing CD he really made this cruise tons of fun ! There was some things on this cruise that were not good like they broke my friends luggage tried to cover it up and tape the wheels back on ! They said they would come get it and never came but they finally came and did replace after 4 days , in the dining room they didn’t know the table numbers and left us standing in the middle of the dining room a few times it was awkward but the waitstaff was amazing ! We also had an excursion and was told to meet at the piano bar to check in and no one came to get us they forgot about us ! This entire thing took 40 min before someone came and yes we called guest services and spoke to crew members as they walked by and finally someone came never even stepped in the room just his head and was like let’s go he seemed really bothered and had an attitude it was ridiculous. It was my friends bday and we ordered a cake and noone came out to sing and they forgot the cake so the next night they gave us a bottle of champagne and came out to sing so that was nice ! Besides that we did have a lot of fun we had a great time the ship is beautiful and it was decorated really nice for Christmas. The Carnival crew went caroling through the lido market place with cookies in Santa hats ! I highly recommend the sky ride , serenity deck , the love and marriage show , bingo , trivia at night with Mike Pack tons of fun , blue iguana the burritos are yummm and go try a donut ! Also getting on and off the ship was quick no problems. I still gave good ratings because I love carnival and have never had issues before and they did correct the problems and we still had fun ! It’s always a blessing to be on vacation.

Carnival Horizon - Dec 2019 - Paradise Beach All my reviews disappeared I will be re writing them sorry ! Me and my friends decided to go to Paradise Beach and we are so happy we did ! At first we were going to just pay the 3 dollars and spend 10 on food/drink but we changed our minds and went for the 63 dollars all inclusive ! So you get a welcome drink / beach chairs/umbrella/mini table/unlimited food & drinks / use of pool/ showers / taco truck included ! The staff was fun , super nice and very attentive! The food was super fresh and delicious really nice portions and the drinks were strong it was one of the best margaritas !!! The pool area was paradise and the beach was nice ! There was seaweed and rocks but if you walk a few feet down it’s fine ! I suggest bringing water shoes.I did hear they might be doing away with pay as you go and it might just be the all inclusive but I’m not positive you can always call or make a reservation online. It was our favorite day of the cruise we had an amazing time and we can’t wait to go back it’s definitely our go to ! I highly recommend it ! It’s not far from the port !

When we went they told us everyone in our party had to get the all inclusive. The food alone is worth it though my friend had 4 bowls of ceviche lol it’s unlimited food. I totally get what your saying though I’m like that on the ship because I don’t drink as much as my friends so I have to get the drink package I wish they would change that ! If you go to Paradise beach I hope you have an amazing time I also posted pics as well !

Thanks for the detailed review of Paradise Beach. We are strongly considering this while in Cozumel & saw some pictures of food from the food truck which looked really good. I wonder if they would let 1 person from the party be all inclusive & 1 pay as you go. I’m not a drinker so all inclusive wouldn’t work for me.
