The menu was terrible. Repeat dishes on multiple nights. Service was terrible. Had to ask cabin steward to clean mirrors not cleaned between cruises. Found bed last night with comforter pulled up and straightened but bed had not actually been made up. Had a tremendously rude head server in the dining room. Quote when she first came to the table we asked how are you she said "extremely busy" ...
Overall, this cruise had it's Pros and Cons
The pro's included an excellent specialty steakhouse restaurant called Farenheight 555. Of course Guy's Hamburgers are always good. Our room attendant was excellent, and most of the staff were very friendly. We also enjoyed some trivia games and "Deal or No Deal." The Fitness center was the finest I have ever sceen on a Cruise ship. Overall the ship ...
We chose this cruise due to itinerary.
Boarding the ship in Rome was seamless and we were on board really quickly.
Stateroom:
Our first impression it was dated but functional however when we returned later that night to discover it was freezing cold and was told while there is a thermostat on the wall it doesn’t work and we had no control over the room temperature! I was freezing and ...
This was the 3rd cruise trip my sisters and I had with Carnival. We were very excited about our trip to Europe and be on Carnival's new ship Horizon.
The ship has a new elevator system. The high tech system was designed to increase efficiency and reduce wait time. We didn't notice any improvement in wait time. Most of the time, we were tire of waiting and took the stairs instead.

I chose this cruise based on the itinerary. I have not been on a Carnival ship in three years. This is my 21st cruise, so I have some perspective. The technology was great. I have also never embarked so fast. The crew was friendly.
My issue was the food. Breakfast was exactly the same each day. The dining room experience was sad. Food not up to par. No butter, butter dish, salt and ...
Went to find some April sunshine. Good points first: Never found the ship overcrowded even though almost 4000 passengers on board. Plenty of sunbeds and comfortable beds in the cabin. Bad Points: VAT on drinks!!. Who are they paying VAT too in the middle of the Med??. Excursions are extortionately priced and much easier to make your own way around. Food in main restaurant is mediocre to average ...
It was the ships maiden European cruise, so you would think they would put some European food on no chance it was like something you clean out the bottom of a parrots cage worst food on any cruise we have done and to date that is 15, if you like your food hot then this cruise is not for you Luke warm is the best you will get if you’re lucky. I spoke to many people asking if this was typical ...
Pros:
Embarkation and Disembarkation were well organized
Shore excursions were well organized
Itinerary (Ports of Call) were amazing
Main Entertainment (feature shows with Singers and dancers) were quite good
We had an Ocean suite and it was very nice. Although, these newer Ocean Suitesdo not have as much storage as the old ones (on older Carnival Ships) and lack the elegance of ...
We chose this cruise for the inaugural voyage and mediterranean itinerary.
Pros:
- Excellent Staff - although VERY SHORT HANDED
- Cove Balcony Rooms EXCELLENT
- Debarkation was easy
- Veterns Gathering was EXCELLENT - Carnival excels at that
Cons:
- Boarding Ship in Barcelona - VERY UN-ORGANIZED - especially baggage
- VERY POOR Food in Dining Room (Cold, Burnt, Tasteless) ...
Not impressed with the ship one bit, not worth all the "hype" it was given prior to going in service.
First time I NEVER bought a drink on a cruise due to the VAT. Carnival should be ashamed of their selves for not disclosing this fact prior to sailing or prior to the cancellation date.
Food was so bad in the buffet, deli and the new BBQ, I wouldn't give it to my dogs.
