Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Times of food service a little wonky. Pizza super slow. Pizza makers would see people in line and hide in back prep area. Buffet was ok. Dinning room service was slow most times. The choices are good on board. I was not starved at any time. Pig and anchor really good on this ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean. Smoking areas were very clean. Only smelled sewage a few times. Casino was allways a mess with ashtrays and empty drinks. Probably due to lack of server's. Public areas were constantly being cleaned.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ac was great. Everything worked. Allways clean.

Arubiana atv treated us wonderful, AGAIN!!! Rented 800 cc utv and traveled entire island on OUR schedule. Brought water and snacks with us. 8 hours plus gas was under 200 dollars. They paid for our cab from port and drove us back to port in their van. Great people! Book online.

Did all inclusive resort for a day booked online. Corendon resort at mangrove Beach. Huge pool. The food was amazing! Drinks were a little watered down. Great protected beach/cove area. Better snorkeling in cove area than Klein Bonnaire ! A few children there but not much. Higher caliber parents at resort actually watched their kids. YAY

Did Carnival excursion to klein bonnaire for snorkeling. The typical Carnival overpriced, shortened time, wait around alot excursion. Snorkeling was just ok, compared to other places we have been.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Fastest and easiest debarkation ever. (Getting off ship) Not crazy about the baggage claim. Used to have your bag in sections with numbers. Now on conveyor belts. Our bags were in multiple locations. Obviously going for speed of getting bags off ship and less employees over convenience of passengers. Oh well.

Vista Class ships are my favorite. Absolutely enjoyed the Horizon. We stayed in the Havana area. I can’t recommend this area enough. To me, worth every pester penny.

Love the Southern Caribbean Itinerary
