Creator's Key Takeaways

the ship was more crowded than any cruise I've ever been on

I totally loved it in my review of the Norwegian bliss I said how much I loved their Texas smokehouse well this was even better

the Havana pool area is much more my style

the crowd on this six-day Carnival Horizon Cruise was not quite as well behaved

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a Havana cabin for exclusive access to the uncrowded pool area

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

This video is my review of our recent 6-day Caribbean cruise on Carnival Horizon. After having done several very luxurious cruises with other cruise lines recently, I was shocked to see how crowded things were! With nearly 5,000 passengers onboard, it was just much more crowded than I prefer. Thank goodness for the exclusive Havana pool area at the back of the ship, where we could get away from it all! I'll give you a look around the Havana pool area, explain what's so great about it, and then show you several other things I really loved about Carnival Horizon... such as the Guy Fieri barbecue joint: the Pig & Anchor. We loved the food there so much that we ended up eating there three different times. And speaking of Guy Fieri... Wow, Guy's Burger Joint is still just as great as ever. On our six-day cruise, I had lunch at Guy's Burger Joint every one of those six days. It was just that good. Leave a comment to let me know what you think of the video, and if you liked it... you'd be helping me out by giving it a thumbs-up. By giving the video a thumbs-up, you are telling YouTube that this is a good video... and when a lot of people do that, YouTube recommends the video to even more people... which is better for me. After all, it takes a lot of work to put these videos together, so I like them to get seen by as large of an audience as possible. Giving the video a thumbs-up, or sharing a link to the video on Facebook, is the best way to show appreciation for the video, if you enjoyed it. Thanks!
