Review summary
We sailed on Mardi Gras May 21-28 2022. Our first time on the boat. We were very excited For this one due to how different it is from any other Carnival boat. It has a lot of things to do..eat and drink. However it missed the mark for me. To many people for us. Lido deck was disappointing. Way to small for this boat. Not enough shops. The wall of windows on deck 6,7,8 is a cool concept but they never opened the windows. Horizon is still my number 1.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse
The steakhouse is usually our favorite on any ship but seemed sub par on this one. The service was fine but the food while good wasn't any better than what you would find on the normal menu in the MDR.
Fortune Teller Bar
The best bar on the boat...
Lido Marketplace
Very small considering the size of this boat. Food was ok but not great.
Redfrog Tiki Bar
I was really excited about this concept but was pretty poor execution. It has 2 levels but it's very tight. Considering it's the only bar on the lido it also gets very crowded.
BlueIguana Cantina
Always solid.
Cucina del Capitano
The largest Cucina we have been in. Very good food.
Palm Restaurant
The MDR has never let us down. Solid food and amazing service.
JavaBlue Cafe
Very large. The biggest we have seen on a ship.
Big Chicken by Shaq
The best chicken I've ever had.
Bonsai Teppanyaki
We really enjoyed this experience. It's a good show and great food.
Guy's Burger Joint
Always solid..Best burgers at sea.
