Carnival Horizon Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Thought it was great overall, but could make some slight changes such as providing more entertainment on at sea days, stop allowing people to leave their dishes outside the door and put an iron in the rooms so we all don’t have to share.

Great week away.. Happy to finally be cruisin again.. Hope staffing improves

The biggest issue we had with this cruise was there was little to no air conditioning on the ship.

My trip was amazing! Would recommend to others! Would enjoy more options for onboard entertainment

Cleanliness is great but layout and design is not friendly. Not impressed with ship. Food was just ok.

Had fun on the ship and at the ports. Piano Bar was entertaining, especially watching the groupies! Shows were top notch and comedy was great 18+! Breakfast & lunch was much better than the dinners, unless you went to specialty restaurants.

I wasn't feeling well, Alex @ Guess Services was awesome -- he checked on me to make sure I had eaten - he also offered complimentary Internet service & Movies from on demand- I received a credit for future cruise Room Service didn't disappoint -- they were awesome !!! ** The only suggestion I would make hold off on the waiving of the Napkins in the dining room at this time -- Why? - Covid may be droplet or air borne. I was sitting at a table where the guy was using the napkin for napkin and wiping his runny nose. they started to waive in the air once the entertainment started.

This is our second Carnival try and we went on for the kids - it was their choice. They were a little disappointed with the slim activities. Also shows aren’t geared to them , not one. We love cruising so we had many positive moments aside from our “cons”. The food on Carnival is a huge deterrent for us. They do need to get better ventilation in the casino or make a non smoking. We love to go but the cigarette is so bad we just were showering after each visit and had to clean our clothes. Also, it would be nice to see more tween and teen based activities and shows. Overall it was a nice cruise and poor or okay food is better than cooking ourselves. There was not a lot of attention to Covid. There were shared condiment bottles, no wiping going on, even peanut butter in a bowl open with a reused spoon. It was icky. No one masked in common areas . We did at shows and in crowded places but no one else did. We did so in transit . Kids came home with Covid so it was definitely from the ship.

I enjoyed the cruise and the ship however I prefer the smaller Carnival ships I feel the attention is more personalized. Horizon and Vista (which I have been on) kind of reminds me of the old airline Peoples Express, meaning no frills....elegant night there were not table cloths on the tables, It seemed that the dining room felt more like a mess hall than a festive occasion, too much hustle and bustle with the servers and the dinner felt rushed.

The Horizon was very nice, we'll go on this one again.

We did have a rough day at sea but took bonine and it was great! Overall a great cruise and great ports of call.

We had an incredible time on this trip and enjoyed literally every minute! HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Carnival Horizon and this route.....very fun!

Lots of fun, but a few disappointments. Verly clean ship. The most friendly, personable, great staff. Dining room food was exceptional. Buffet was never open when we needed it. Great pizza and burgers, but always had very long lines. Excursions were fair at best. Pamphlet was a little deceiving. Customer Service lines were always hours long, that seems ridiculous.

The lines were very long and we think the boat was understaffed. "Stefjan the Croatian Sensation" was horrible to us and should be fired from the customer service industry.

The ship was at 103% capacity. There were a lot of first timers and tweens/teens. The teens were causing havoc throughout the entire cruise. Security was called several times by myself. You could also overhear many conversations of others saying the same thing, as well as our room steward. About how terrible this group was all week. Including when they threatened to push us down the stairs and knocking on the door at 3am because they thought it would be fun. Other than the lack of parenting and obnoxious behavior by this age group, everything else was great!

We assumed that most of the negatives were connected with Covid and short staff.

The ship layout didn't like ...the food was boreing the same every morning....overall food could be improved.....even the Steakhouse has service issues.....it seems they are wanting us to pay extra for meals to get anything worth eating.....no variety in main dining room either....the ship was clean their service staff was so kind and patient with all of us....need more tables on decks to sit at instead of chaises...pools too small for so many passengers we will not be back to Carnival same price but less enjoyable then RCL

Great experience. Good service , good good and beverages and amazing people

The carnival crew was not friendly, the food was nasty at the main dining area the only bars you can enjoy is blue iguana or tide bar. Under age Kids party with everyone. There is nothing to do after hours

Carnival are experts at making a good time. Younger crowd, busy, but new clean boat and great value if it comes in cheaper than other cruise lines. Free food options are less than say Royal, not classy either, but actually much tastier food than more expensive lines. They know how to make stuff delicious!
