Review summary

Again...this trip was great! As they get back to Fuller ships this class of ship is not my style. Way too crowded. CD Donkey was stellar!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Super fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I only ate at the MDR once. I was cruising solo the dining room was half empty and they put me right on top of a couple having a romantic dinner at the table right next to them two inches away. This puzzles me. But anyway the food was good at the MDR as well as the specialty restaurants Steakhouse sushi & hibachi.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lido pool was good. More crowded than August. I am not a fan of this class ship at full capacity so I probably won't sail Vista class again as they are getting back to full capacity. Too crowded.

Entertainment

We sailed with you. I agree, when the ship is full it will be less enjoyable. Glad you enjoyed the cruise as much as we did.

Great cruise on the carnival horizon

Good Ride, but not enough hot tubs or pools and not much to do.

Awesome Horizon sail
