Review summary

Excellent cruise. We enjoyed every minute of it. Our Havana Area was most definitely the best thing on this trip. I don't think I will ever go back to another room category. Havana pool and jacuzzis were NEVER overcrowded. Found available chairs every time. In the Havana Bar, Luis was the absolute best.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship with excellent crew. Captain De Angelis was very pleasant and personable. Cookie the Cruise Director was super fun. LOVED THIS SHIP!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The buffet was okay. With the current cost of goods in general is understandable that food is not the same as two or three years ago. The Steak House however served excellent food. As always, Carnival's Pizza and Desserts did not disappoint.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Always something fun to do. Trivias and Karaoke was fun. The comedians were outstanding.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was very attentive and always looking to accommodate us. Our cabin steward Webster was super!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the layout of this ship. Very easy to navigate. The crew keeps it very clean and sanitized as much as possible with as many guest this huge ship can carry.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our Havana Suit 5234 was AMAZING. Ready the moment we boarded at 11:00am. The patios in the Havana area and the huge shower are the best part.

Ship tip

Definitely book a Havana cabin. You will not regret it.

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Jamaica needs to invest some in their Ocho Rios port. Seemed run down and chaotic. Hardly any shade or place to sit down to wait for your tour to start. Once you get out of the port, people are very nice. Our River Tubing Safary was excellent. Felt safe at all time.

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
The Miami Cruise port employees are the rudest you can possible encounter anywhere. They seemed overwhelmed and angry with everyone. As soon as you get to the Carnival employees you see their pleasant smiles and courtesy. I will try my best to skip this port. Nothing to do with Carnival, just Port of Miami itself.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel is one of the best stops. Our excursion to Isla Pasion was cancelled by the operator. We were able to find a similar one on shore for a little bit less money. We really enjoyed the beach and the inclusive drinks!!!

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Sadly, due to rough waters (Hurricane Ian) our stop at Grand Cayman was cancelled. Instead we had a extra Day at Sea.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was very organized and simple. As always a few guests were rude and tried to skip the lines, but that's not Carnival's fault.

We were on the Horizon the week before you sailed. it was our first post Covid cruise and we absolutely loved it! We went to the ABC islands, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, we highly recommend this itinerary and ship!

We feel the same way about Havana on Vista-class ships! We absolutely loved Vista & Horizon too.
