Carnival Horizon

Japanese and Smokehouse Dining on Carnival Horizon

Carnival Horizon’s most distinctive meals are Japanese. At Bonsai Teppanyaki, chefs cook seafood, meat and tofu at the counter in front of you. There is a cover charge, and you need to book ahead. Bonsai Sushi goes further than rolls and nigiri with a wider Japanese menu, priced à la carte. For something more relaxed, Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse & Brewhouse pairs smoky barbecue with craft beers brewed on board, also à la carte.

Plenty is included in the fare too. There is a dining room serving three-course dinners every night, a casual marketplace for meals through the day, a Mexican cantina, burgers and pizza. A steakhouse and a rustic Italian family-style restaurant complete the choice, and at both you pay as you order.

Winter Sun from Miami, Longer Voyages from Galveston

Carnival Horizon sails round trips from two ports, Miami in Florida and Galveston in Texas, and her longest voyages leave from Galveston. These 14-night Caribbean round trips run in October and January. Stops change between departures, but you might see Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic, San Juan in Puerto Rico, St. Kitts and Saint Lucia. You will find them among our 14-night Caribbean cruise holidays.

From Miami, her 8-night round trips run from November to January, right through the British winter. On her Southern Caribbean sailings, typical calls include Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. Other 8-night routes pair Aruba and Curaçao with Celebration Key in the Bahamas. She also runs 6-night round trips from Miami in the same months, with Grand Cayman and Montego Bay among the ports.

Galveston is also home to her 5- and 7-night Western Caribbean round trips in December, April and May, where Cozumel in Mexico and Belize City are among the calls. Miami and Galveston both mean a flight from the UK, so we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers as one holiday with Cruise1st Packages. A longer sailing then becomes a proper Caribbean holiday from your own front door.

Her fellow Vista Class ships include Carnival Vista and Carnival Panorama, and the rest of the fleet is on our Carnival Cruise Line page.

Cycling Above the Sea and Clubs for Children

SkyRide is the activity that sets Carnival Horizon apart: stationary bikes sit high above the ocean, placed for unobstructed views as you pedal. It is free to use, though some instructor-led sessions carry a charge. SportSquare gathers basketball, volleyball, climbing and fitness challenges in one included space, so active days at sea need no planning.

Children aged 2 to 11 have Camp Ocean, where supervised, age-based groups take part in ocean-themed activities included in the fare. Adults can retreat to a quiet adults-only pool area, and there is a spa where treatments cost extra.

How Old Is Carnival Horizon?

Carnival Horizon made her maiden voyage in April 2018. The venues on this page, including SkyRide, Bonsai Teppanyaki and the on-board brewhouse, are the ones Carnival lists for her.

Carnival Horizon Cabins and Deck Plans

Suites head Carnival Horizon’s cabin range. Her cabins and deck plans show which decks sit close to SkyRide and the pools, and which are quieter for a Caribbean fortnight from Galveston.
