Ship tip

If you want to stay attached to your cell phone it is I am sure fine. I however cruise to get away from devices like computers and cell phones and find it takes away from the idea of disconnecting.. SAY NO TO THE HUB!!!!!

Getting better, as a port it is far better than it used to be, however the staff was always unwilling to assist English speakers. They should be able to communicate with the tourists that are pumping money into their economy.

Debflip, the HUB is the Carnival app. Great to use with family and friends while on the ship to plan activities, locate each other, etc.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. While I’d rather put the phone in the safe and leave it there, I found the HUB helpful. Happy you were able to go without it! Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

Carnival Horizon 2023

There were seven (7) of us on this cruise. Including two (2) first timers. When I say EVERYONE had a great time, it’s true! There were some minor glitches. However, the glitches were nothing to complain about nor did they ruin the cruise.
