In the crowded corner of the Carnival Horizon pool deck, I had my first lunch of the day at the burrito bar in bluforeign Ana Cantina. My made-to-
Burrito with lime-
Coriander rice, black beans, Burnt Corn, grilled chicken and medium
Garo spicy skin
No fried beans. thank you very much.
At the pasta bar, I ordered the Farfa with garlic shrimp, mushrooms and tomato sauce for my second lunch.
On the Mongolian frying pan, I chose the green mouth and clams instead of the black bean sauce and the romaine noodles with half a dozen vegetables.
My fourth lunch.
Seafood cottage-
It's not custom, it's just fried clams and chips.
My goal in these two areas
The day preview cruise of Carnival's newest boat is a lunch tasting at every restaurant.
I am not very successful, but it is enough to have a fair understanding of the food on board.
Lunch can be an afterthought for cruisers who often travel ashore or take a nap by the pool, hairy chest races settle down with a bunch of things in the buffet, so, cruise lines can enjoy the lightest dishes at lunch.
Most restaurants in carnival don't have
I came to the conclusion after seven of the nine lunch places on board the boat --
It is a sign of the production line's efforts to provide quality at a low price.
One of my favorite things about carnival boats is that it's a good deal.
Fares are usually cheaper than Caribbean cruises on what the industry calls mainstream other routes.
The price check of two online travel agents departing from Miami in February found that the price on the Carnival Horizon was cheaper than the latest boats in Norway and Royal Caribbean, about the same as MSC Seaside (
Carnival Horizon and MSC Seaside start at about $80 per person per day and check in twice;
Norway's happiness starts at $102;
$126 for eastern Caribbean and $149 for Western Caribbean).
The price of Carnival's old ships is usually lower than that of other lines.
To keep the price low, carnival boats do not touch cars, skydiving, surf pools.
Their suites are not so luxurious, the boat is not so spacious for passengers, the entertainment is not so delicate, the proportion of balcony boxes is not so high, and soft
The supply of ice cream lacks evidence of actual cream. But for first-
Time cruisers, young people, big families and those with a particularly tight budget, Carnival Cruises offer value.
Carnival Horizon was delivered, arrived in Miami after sailing in Europe, and then departed from New York, the 26 th ship currently in service.
This is Carnival's largest second Vista class ship with a tonnage of 133,500 and a length of 1,062 feet.
There are 3,954 guests on board, and each room has two rooms for up to 4,980 guests, including upper bunk beds, cribs and folding beds.
Port of Miami, the mother port of this ship, it sailed 6-and eight-
Caribbean day tour.
This is the second of the five ships that joined the South Florida fleet in 2018.
Norway's happiness is the first, starting from the Port of Miami, the Royal Caribbean ocean and celebrity fringe Symphony Orchestra arrived this month --
Miami Symphony Orchestra, the edge of Everglades celebrities.
Nieuw Statendam, Netherlands, will arrive at the port of Everglades by Christmas.
In these five scenes, the Carnival Horizon is in the middle.
Smaller than the ocean Symphony and Norwegian Bliss, larger than celebrities and Dutch American ships.
The ship is already familiar to cruise fans because it is essentially a clone of Carnival Vista (
Launched on 2015, redeploying from Miami to Galveston on the day horizon arrives in Miami)
There are a few small changes :-
Although its water park is the same building as Carnival Vista, it is the first to become a doctor. Seuss themed. —
It has a "smart" elevator.
In the elevator lobby, press a button to indicate which deck you are going to and the system will tell you which elevator to board.
The purpose is to group people according to where they are going so that the elevators on each floor do not stop.
It is said that this will get you to your destination faster.
This is a good concept, but it has one drawback: you can't change your mind.
There are no buttons in the elevator.
If you forget to buy a T-
Before going to the pool on deck 10, you have to start over from the elevator. —
With more popular Havana boxes, tropical themed cabins and suites, debuting on Carnival Vista, exclusive access to the Havana pool complex at the back of deck 5 during the day. —
In the Bonsai Sushi restaurant, the Carnival Horizon adds bonsai teppanyaki, two or eight
The table for people who dine with the hiachi Grill and chef, and when he prepares your meal in the center, he will entertain you (
Extra charge for both restaurants). —
Also on the new boat, Guy's pig Anchor BarB-Que (
By the Food Network host Guy Filey)—
Poolside counter service food station on four other ships-
Has moved to deck 5 and expanded to a separate restaurant on the promenade.
Guy's offers an extra fee for dinner, as well as a free lunch on board and sea day.
It occupies the space where the Red Frog bar sits on other ships, but it retains the Red Frog Brewery, where it produces four craft beers.
Dining with food is an important element of any cruise, and lunch is a sign of quality, especially since carnival has continuously upgraded its dining options in recent years.
Most of its ships now have Guy's Burger Joint instead of a traditional poolside grill (Personal property seized)
And the Blue Melon Tavern, homemadeto-
Order burritos and tacos on site.
And a 24-hour pizzeria.
In addition to the exclusive ParchedPig beer at Guy's Carnival Horizon, you can also draw your own beer in the buffet and pay for it at an ounce.
Quiet area-the adults-
Rest only on the top deck
There is a salad bar for lunch on the day of the sea. Two extra-
Free dinner at the restaurant
You can build your own main course here.
There is a Mongolian frying pan in Gigi's Asian kitchen, and the pasta bar is located in capitina del Capitano.
The only option I missed during my two-day lunch marathon was the buffet (
Although I did taste the service
Drink beer there)
And the production of peace-to-
Salad bar with no business.
I did not eat bread, salad and dessert, and ate them all;
Order half a copy when available;
Gone, I still have a mouth or two left on my plate.
After seven lunches in two days, my conclusion is: if you go with a custom lunch, the food is really good.
The best example is manufacturing. to-order burrito.
I don't like fried beans.
I like spicy food, but I don't like spicy food.
Blueiuana has a condiment, I can adjust the spicy according to my taste.
Similarly, there are similar options for pasta, Mongolian wok and Guy's Burger shop, which has a condiment shop with unexpected options such as baked potatoes and fried mushrooms.
The seafood cottage has a number of customized options, including fresh local ingredients that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere, in any style, any sauce.
"But Fish, pool deck pizza and fried clams served at the main restaurant at lunch --
Although it is not done well, there is no taste.
No custom entrees, only guy's BBQ was good.
Of course, when you cook for 4,000
Plus guests, being Bland is a logical starting point if you want to make food that everyone can eat.
But sometimes, only a buffet with salad bars and a variety of wok or pasta ingredients is the only place you can make your dishes according to your taste.
The best place for Carnival lunch is where you can go beyond the bland.
Dinner is when the cruise line wants to show off their best fares.
Carnival Horizon Hotel-
Room service, pizza, buffet, room service

Restaurant and Chef table.
Cabin on all Vista-
The interior space of the class ship is 185 square feet or 275 square feet.
The main difference in the box is the size of the balcony-
If there's a balcony
More than three of all cabins are in the cabin;
Not all of the boxes have balconies, which is lower than new ships on other routes.
Luxury suites are the largest category in the living room.
There are 8 Carnival horizons, 345 square feet plus 85-square-foot balcony.
You won't find some luxury suites in the size of small apartments offered by competing cruise lines.

But the horizon was the first one to have Suz.

The class boat is SkyRide, a suspended bike that guests can follow along the route above the boat and the road pedals on the water. (
When I was on the ship, SkyRide was closed for repair. )
No extra charge.
In the same area, Carnival Horizon has a rope track above the sports deck, with passengers strapped to their seat belts and traveling around a network of ropes, railings and plastic stepping stones of different shapes.
Some people do not hesitate to move from one platform to the next.
An unhappy girl about the age of 8 or 9 went to the second platform and hugged the pillar with her arms and refused to move.
"It was a very bad idea," she told her parents . ".

On my cruise, the show is "strings of heavenly music", a string trio in a charming garden playing a combination of classical and modern pop music.
One of my favorite spots on the boat is three-
Deck fantasy landscape funnel sculpture in atrium bar.
This is a dramatic visual element.
From a distance, 24-foot-high funnel-
The screen of the shape looks like Murano glass, but at close range you can see the pixels of LED lighting that produce constantly changing images, some of which are designed by St. Patients
Jude Children's Research Hospital, one of Carnival's charity partners.
The elegant and colorful funnel is the center of the bar, which offers live music in the afternoon and evening, but can also enjoy the view from the middle deck.
The casino offers 180 slot machines and common desktop games including a variety of poker.

The best example is manufacturing. to-order burrito.
I don't like fried beans.
I like spicy food, but I don't like spicy food.
Blueiuana has a condiment, I can adjust the spicy according to my taste.
Similarly, there are similar options for pasta, Mongolian wok and Guy's Burger shop, which has a condiment shop with unexpected options such as baked potatoes and fried mushrooms.
The seafood cottage has a number of customized options, including fresh local ingredients that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere, in any style, any sauce.
"But Fish, pool deck pizza and fried clams served at the main restaurant at lunch --
Although it is not done well, there is no taste.
No custom entrees, only guy's BBQ was good.
Of course, when you cook for 4,000
Plus guests, being Bland is a logical starting point if you want to make food that everyone can eat.
But sometimes, only a buffet with salad bars and a variety of wok or pasta ingredients is the only place you can make your dishes according to your taste.
The best place for Carnival lunch is where you can go beyond the bland.
Dinner is when the cruise line wants to show off their best fares.
