Review summary

Would not travel on the Horizon again unless the cruise director plans a more exciting time outside of seminars and sales.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The lido marketplace food was mediocre. The sandwich shop was great and some nights at the dining room the was delightful. But it wasn’t consistent.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

There was very few activities to do on the ship. The sky coaster seem to be alway closed. They may play music on the lido deck for about any hour. But the fun squad was non existent

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Mediocre performances. The comedians were not funny. Wasn’t impressed with the entertainment.

Children's Programs

Daughter didn’t want to use the service said it was lame.

Was not organized well. Think they called too many zones at one time. Was stuck in a super long line for minutes.

We just finished our 80th cruise with carnival , you have to take the good with the not so good , like anything , we happen to love the Horizon , but to each ,person is different , I will have to admit that one of the cruise directors is loud , and boring his name is Cookie ,

Sorry you were disappointed. We had a very good time on the Horizon in March. Hopefully your next vacation choice is more enjoyable.

Umm… who did you have for a cruise director? I have sailed Horizon twice recently… September and January. I had Cookie for a cruise director and he is by far my favorite of them all! Maybe you just weren’t paying attention to the itinerary!
