Review summary

Food was marginal at best. Wait staff unfriendly. Debarkation was a disaster. Missed our flights and had to take another day off work to get home at our own expense. Staff kicked us out of game room/library to do an art auction while playing games with family. Took 2 hours to get our food in the dining room. No more Coke products on board. Carnival has gone downhill. Will never sail with them again.

Horrible. Waited 1.5 for priorty debarkation and ended up missing our flights. Staff allowed other people to get off elevators and cut in line after we waited for a priority spot.

It's the Horizon... not Carnival. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. HORIZON is my least favorite. I was on it twice. Both times hated it. But the Mardi Gras a couple of weeks ago was amazing.

I believe it should be pointed out that 3,000 other people were on that sailing... where are thier negative reviews? I have sailed carnival for years and will continue for years to come.

Appreciate your detailed summary. Sounds like you booked an early flight., not a good plan. Hope you find a cruise line that fits your needs.
