Review summary

Cruise and ship were awesome, food and entertainment was great, my only disappointment was the shore excursions. We were very limited on what excursions we could do, only had 1 excursion but it ended up being cancelled. That was very disappointing more so that we were not told ahead of time that because of COVID our 11 could not do any of them.

We couldn't do any excursions because of COVID, we only went to a private beach but were not allowed to go anywhere else or buy souvenirs.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

Loved the island itself, but our excursion was canceled due to weather. This was the only excursion we could do with our daughter and it ended up being cancelled.

Bimini, Bahamas

We were not allowed to disembark at this port because of our 11 year old. Were not allowed to do any excursions either. We opted for going to the market place only but had to take a cab.

At this point, we would just be happy, staying on the boat and cruising. It's seems forever ago!

Believe me. Bimini is a joke. Stay on the ship. Sad Carnival even considers going to no nothing island. Water treatment plant next to pier...you gotta be kidding. Even stinks. Great planning..not

Appreciate your review, especially for the information regarding “bubble” shore tours and their inherent glitches. Glad you enjoyed your cruise ‘🛳😎

Horizon was my 1st ever Cruise. Didn't want to get the Covid shot, but I had to do it in order to experience the fun.
