Carnival Horizon Review
Rating by category
Additional details
This is a review of the six-night Western Caribbean itinerary. We are a middle-aged couple who have traveled extensively and have been on seven cruises including three on Carnival.
Embarkation in Miami was a breeze as you no longer have to stand in line if you check in online and use a credit card. The sail and sign card is at your cabin door.
The ship: Being new the ship was clean and in good shape. The atrium was small and unimpressive. The elevators system was hit or miss. Sometimes it worked great and other times it was down or assigned too many people to a car. The problem with the system is that when a person selects a deck number it does not know if they are alone or with ten family members. The casino was large but stank of smoke. The main pool deck had no whirlpools. It was hard to find an empty place on the Serenity Deck at times and there was no shade. My favorite place was the Lanai on deck five which is shady and quiet.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean View
We were in a deluxe ocean view which was spacious and very clean. The second bathroom was wasted space since there was only two of us. There was plenty of closet storage although there was only one small drawer outside the closet. The bathroom had a good amount counter space but there was no fan so it tended to fog up. The bed was a little too firm for my taste. TV channels are very limited with no major networks or music channels.
