Review summary

It was close to Halloween. So many people wearing costumes. I didn’t pack one and felt stupid for not. Adults reliving childhood was super fun.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Left car at hotel and took shuttle to port! Walked up to priority line and never stopped or waited until onboard getting cocktail.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Mongolian changed lunch menu to set dishes to choose from. No option to pick noodles, meat, veggies or sauce. Very angry and disappointed. The new MDR menu items were all good and appreciated.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Same party atmosphere.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Shows were entertaining and professional. Musicians and bands very good. Comedy shows always sold out and line waiting for next.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Awesome location if you are trying to avoid foot traffic but terrible if you are nonsmoker and don’t appreciate smokers finding a hidy hole to puff.

Ship tip

Love the LCD funnel in atrium. Take a few minutes and enjoy the show.

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.

Great Time! lots of relaxation!
