Review summary

I'm so glad I didn't cancel and kept my faith up that we would sail Aug 1, it was exceptional even with the protocols. Thank you Carnival and cruise for the experience of a lifetime. We had one 1st time cruiser and he wants to plan a family group cruise now.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Guys Burgers was a lot better on day 4 as opposed to day 1. Main dining was more hits than miss. Our wait staff was awesome, Guys Smokehouse was good and the Steakhouse was very nice. Order dessert art, it is awesome

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I had a Spa cabin for the first time and looooooved it! I went almost every day 😃. The shows were not so good. The comedians were hilarious. All the music was top notch. There was a couple in one of the venues in front of the Havana bar and they would take request for songs oh my goodness they were wonderful. We hit Havana nights about three times it was jamming!

Interior Spa cabin, it just needs a couch

Ship tip

Research the ship before you go and use the ship App. It saved me so much time. The Horizon is now my favorite. I did not miss the daily planner as much as I thought I would

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We did the 27 Waterfalls and Ziplining. The best value ever and high adventure for sure. You need to be in pretty good shape, it's a pretty good hike to the Waterfalls and you practically climb ladders up trees for some of the ziplining. I would highly recommend this experience!

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Get a clamshell at the beach and get there early. Fun times had by all.

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
One of the most beautiful beach I had ever been to. We did the beach 360 and snorkel gear. The system there is a little messed up but I'm sure they will work out the kinks in time. I would go back to that port anytime

Leog our TV had some issues, so we relied on our phones, one of the coolest things we realized about the app is if you hit the heart by an activity it would send a notification about 15 to 30 minutes ahead to let you know and if you friended someone on the ship through the app it would notify you they were interested the same event
