Review summary

Save your money and don’t go on Carnival Horizon. Food was horrible. Drink packages are not worth it and elevators were not working 1/2 the time. Very disappointing

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica Did not visit port

2 days before cruise we were informed we would be going to Falmouth yet they knew 8 weeks ago and they was the only reason why we went with Carnival

Sorry it wasn't everything you wanted it to be. We have been on the Horizon twice in the past year and had a blast both times.

I have only heard of great things about the Horizon from people I know. Will be on it in 24 days

Absolutely love the Horizon. My favorite ship in the fleet along with the Vista. The thermal spa area is outstanding. Every meal I had was wonderful and I'll be glad to be back on her in 66 days for the 4th time.

I wasn’t a fan of the elevators but I was content and didn’t look for perfection…
