Review summary

This cruise was a much needed break for relaxation. Greatly enjoyed Thermal Spa and other spa services. I was very pleased with the level of service and cleaning protocols due to covid. There were no issues with outbreaks as i was aware of. Loved my choice of cabin & floor level. Enjoyed all the entertainment and restaurants aboard. Just wasn't impressed with the food from buffet & restaurant. This cruise had a nice crowd. The cruise director was fabulous and on point, kept you very informed with day to day issues and activities. Will diffinitely be cruising with carnival again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Was not impressed as before with buffet & restaurant foor choices. We keep ordering special things from meal with upcharge from steakhouse. The Bonsai restaurant was wonderful, food was delicious & service. Didn't care for BBQ restaurant too much sauce on ribs & chicken. Mongolian Grill & Pasta restaurant on ship had really good food & Of course steakhouse food was very tasty. As far as buffet & dining room you can eat the same food either place. Seem like the same things every night preferred my leftovers from Restaurants. However, they do need a microwave in a common area so if you eat at restaurants you could warm up your leftovers.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The ski ride was great. Loved playing basketball & mini golf, pools & hot tubs stayed to crowded. The Serenity spot was great. We purchased Thermal Spa which was really nice & highly recommended. Also, purchased spa treatments; which were also wonderful. Wish they didn't keep trying to sell you all the products; I didn't go on cruise & get spa treatment to be hounded to purchase other products. Love playing bingo every day.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the performances were nice. The comedians were good. The cruise director Johnathan "Cookie Adam" was the best highlight of the cruise, he kept you very entertained.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room steward Jayson was very friendly, professional & very attentive to our comfort and needs. Love the towel animals that was on bed each day. Paid gratuity upfront before cruise but his service was so great that I had to tip again.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout & design was great. I loved being on the level 10 floor where everything was happening & didn't need to use elevators much.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Love size of cabin, good size for me & husband. Love having balcony, the only request is I think they need to put comfortable lounging chairs. As far as cleanliness, our stewart kept very clean.

Ship tip

Loved the Horizon, Preferred better than the Pride.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
First time leaving from Miami, Florida. Very easy to navigate I guess because I did the bus transfers to and from airport.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Jamaica was nice, Knee was hurting that day, I wish port wasn't so far to walk from where we docked.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

Didn't go to Grand Cayman due to weather. waters to rough for tenders.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel very nice. We enjoyed ourselves.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was very well organizated and easy to navigate due to the constant instructions given by our cruise director "Cookie"
