Review summary

Won’t do it again. I made it fun for myself but I wouldn’t take a carnival cruise again. Ports of call were uneventful, didn’t have time to really see or do anything…felt very fake and scammy. Not worth the money tbh

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Make you throw away water so they can sell you water on the boat. Very wasteful. I hope they give it away to the less fortunate otherwise that’s disgusting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Lido market was better than the actual restaurants.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

12th deck was fun. Needed more karaoke and trivia

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Comedy shows were fantastic. I wish they were longer!!!

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

If your kid is under 5 do not take them on this cruise. No games, accommodations, entertainment for children at all. Made parents with kids under 5 stay on the boat in port unless they paid for excursions. Rip off and False advertising.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Everyone seemed secretly miserable and I don’t blame them.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very clean, looked great. Not enough seating though

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Enjoyed everything about it.

Ship tip

Don’t bring kids under 5 unless you want to be stuck on board. Don’t bring water in your carry on unless you want them to throw it away in front of you. Prepare to add another 1000+ dollars to your trip and go to guest services and take off the gratuity if you’re tipping yourself. They don’t tell you they charge everyone extra money for little things. Pay attention to your receipt.

If you removed your gratuities …. Please do not cruise. Those go to MANY crewmembers you do not see… I don’t believe you actually tipped anybody. Cruising is definitely not for you

Guess you also shouldn’t fly anywhere cuz all airports make you enter TSA with no water.

Do your research.. because I enjoy myself on horizon and I was alone .. the crew had ton of things to do if u not a Person who enjoys joining in .. a cruise is not for you.. best idea is to fly into your desire destination. Port calls I enjoy myself even tho it rain on our 1st stop but I still was able to site see on my own and got my refund because of weather issue for my excursion.. now I’m excited to take a ride on sunrise. And for the younger kids I wouldn’t pick this cruise because I research it’s not much for them to do vs teenager. Just do your research ppl

Dude all cruise lines do the same type itinerary depending on the number of days of the cruise. When you book you know where the ship stops. Maybe you need to go Disney.

You obviously didn’t read any of the contract you agreed to in order to get a boarding pass. You will get no sympathy who has read any information since the cruising restart .

Cruising definitely isn’t for you. Great snorkeling, beaches and other excursions at those ports.
