Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Carnival Horizon

Worst cruise we have ever been on. Food is terrible. Worse food I have ever had. Their soda package is terrible. You have to wait at the bars to get a can of soda - sometimes took upwards of 30 mins. Only decent place to get food was at the burger place and the wait there could be upwards of 40+ minutes. Many activities closed very early (8 pm) so not a whole lot to do after hours unless you ...

Let me preface this by saying I AM NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON TO WRITE A REVIEW LIKE THIS! HOWEVER… I WOULD BE REVIEWING 0/5 IF ABLE. This trip has been extremely disappointing, after months of research, planning and saving money we decided on this trip. However, we realized that was a mistake. The whole ship has smelled heavily of marijuana and it appears the security has done nothing to stop ...

We are in our mid 40s. We chose this cruise because of the size of the ship and dates available. This was our 7th cruise...4 prior Carnival and 2 prior Royal Caribbean. I would always tell friends and family how much I loved Carnival's food and environment. This is by far the worst cruise we have been on so far. Positives: Embarkation was a smooth process. Staff were exceptional in ...

My wife and I recently saved our money to take all five of our kids on a cruise. Once aboard the cruise ship, we were left hungry and un-entertained. Once the buffet, burger station and burrito station closed mid afternoon, it was an hour wait to get one slice of pizza unless you wanted to pay extra for a meal. This cruise ship played the same two movies throughout the cruise. Most of the ...

I have waited a few years to go on a cruise because of the pandemic restrictions. I decided to go with my family during spring break. This is like the spirit airlines are flying. they nickel and dime you for everything, the food is terrible. They do not use a bit of tender, loving care, cooking like spices, so bring your own salt and pepper and garlic powder. The desserts were even worse the paid ...

Carnival is nothing like it used to be and the Horizon was no exception. Here are some highlights. 1. If you like to smoke weed and cigarettes anywhere on the ship. This is apparently the cruise for you. I am not talking about smelling it in smoking only sections, I am talking all over the ship. We did complain to the service desk. 2. 99.9% of the staff are 0 for customer services. You ...

Poor food quality, poor service.

Poor food quality and service desk failed to take care of our complaints about our room. We were in room 8470 and it is much smaller than the online carnival layout and pictures. There was less than 1 foot of space between the bed and wall. The stairwell out side out room took away about 50 SQFT of the original floor plan. The furnishings were also different, only 1 low-back chair inside (2 ...

As a family that cruises regularly, my husband and I decided to spend our family vacation this year aboard the Carnival Horizon, traveling with our six year old and 10 month old daughters. Worst and most expensive mistake we ever made. Being that we have cruised with Carnival several times in the past and had wonderful experiences I neglected to read the reviews prior to booking with the Horizon. ...

I chose this cruise as the best entertainment option for my family. My kids are 12 and 3 years old, and our last cruise proved to be a great way to entertain them both. Carnival seemed to be a great option for more kids attractions so we have it a try. It was a disaster from the moment we walked on the ship. We entered on the 3rd floor/atrium, which felt tiny as the crowds of people flooded ...

I have been on many cruises more than 10. I have also been on many Carnival Ships. I thought because this was a brand new ship we couldn't go wrong. That was not the case. The biggest problem with this ship is there are so many cabins for the almost 4000 people that theres not much left for entertainment. The food in my opinion was terrible. We ate in the dining room as well as the buffet and I ...
