Review summary

Embarkation

3 out of 5

It's embarkation. It's never good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Except for Guy's Burgers, food was very horrible. Tasteless, very limited choices, poor service and mixed up orders in the main dining room. Only late night option was pizza and the line was outrageous

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Very few options. Havana area was nice because it was not as crowded but we paid extra to be in Havana section

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Only decent entertainment was the comedians but they venue was too small so you could not get a seat unless you lined up at least a half hours before the doors opened. Then you had to wait another half hour for the show to start

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Dining room staff were nice but made a lot of mistakes with the orders. Rooms were not cleaned until late afternoon.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Very hard to get from one end of shop to the other. Many floors do not go through. One that did was the smoke-filled casino.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Havana Extended Balcony. Nice layout with large balcony

Ship tip

Carnival is really cutting corners. Will be going back to other cruise lines in the future.

I sailed on the Horizon on 30 May. My experience was different then yours. The Main Dining Room staff were fantastic along with our food. Once we figured out the ship’s plan…going from forward to Aft was easy to avoid the smoky casino. I do agree with the comedy show comments…the venues were too small. And you definitely had to get there 30-45 minutes early to obtain seating. Kind of sucked.

Clearly you should go to a different cruise line. You will probably not be happy there either!!🤪🤪
