Who says fun can’t be classy? Fun Diversions and Diverse DiningĬarnival Horizon includes everything that made Carnival Vista so popular, including the amazing SkyRide aerial attraction, the ropes course, and an entire fun square filled with outdoor sports activities and family-friendly games. The real winners, though, are the ship’s Family Harbor staterooms and suites, which were designed specifically for families traveling together and feature their own private lounge and exclusive concierge. Cloud 9 Spa staterooms and suites provide enhanced amenities and access to the ship’s soothing Thermal Suite and hydrotherapy pool, while Havana Cabana accommodations add private lanais and an exclusive aft deck area complete with its own bar, hot tubs, and loungers for tanning. Things really come alive with Carnival Horizon’s specialty staterooms. Out of 1,980 total suites and staterooms, 864 are oceanview balcony staterooms, while just 254 are fixed-window oceanviews and 752 are economical inside staterooms.
Gone are the days when Carnival only offered a few basic types of accommodations.
Representatives from Schindler, the manufacturer, even came on board for an elevator photo shoot.Īfter 30 minutes on board, one thing was clear: this was no ordinary Fun Ship. It’s called a “destination-based elevator,” and it’s a first at sea. With the press of a button on the iPad-like touch screens in the elevator lobbies, you are directed to an elevator car going (usually) express to your selected deck. The whole ship feels a little more, well, upscale.Įven the elevators were the subject of much discussion. Blonde wood-grain textures adorn walls and ceiling panels. Where Carnival Vista employed a largely whitewashed atrium, walls aboard Carnival Horizon now have subtle textures and patterns that bounce attractively off the room’s lighting. Stepping into the three-story atrium, with its Dreamscape funnel sculpture made up of more than 2,000 flexible LED tiles lighting up the room with digital artwork, it was clear that improvements both big and small had been made to every corner of the ship.
The 133,500-ton Carnival Horizon is anything but a carbon copy of her sister.
