Reviewer read
A strong ship by most measures. It falls behind on disembarkation.
Carnival Horizon rates higher overall than 81% of the ships we track. Entertainment is its strongest showing. The weak spot is disembarkation.

The one caution
8.2out of 10 for disembarkation
Higher than only 16% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.80.
Everything else, in two lines
Eight are good without being remarkable: entertainment, embarkation, activities, cabins, service, ship quality, fitness and dining. They rate higher than 60% to 88% of ships.
Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 49 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Three fall below the fleet: value (higher than only 48% of ships), public areas (higher than only 30% of ships) and disembarkation (higher than only 16% of ships).
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.64 and 8.83. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

What we can’t tell you

- Whether it's good value today
- Reviews describe the fare people paid, not the one you'll be quoted.
