Hello, my name is Marcus Thomas and I am happy to meet you. I would consider myself a "seasoned cruiser!" My wife and I have been cruising for 20 plus years. We fell in love with cruising when we sailed our first voyage on the Carnival Conquest in...

Final formal dinner with our awesome wait staff..

Culinary Highlights


One of the standout features of our trip was the amazing food on the Lido Deck. We couldn’t get enough of Guy’s Burger Joint and Blue Iguana—two of Carnival’s crowd-pleasers. For a truly special treat, we dined at the Chef’s Table, which quickly became one of my favorite dining experiences ever. The expertly crafted dishes and intimate setting made it a night to remember.


Onboard Entertainment


The Carnival Horizon’s entertainment options kept us engaged throughout the trip. We enjoyed the IMAX Theatre, where we caught some great films in a state-of-the-art setting. Each evening, we attended Broadway-style shows that wowed us with their production value and talent. While the comedy shows were just okay this time, we had a blast singing karaoke several nights—a family favorite activity.


Relaxation and Quality Time


Amidst all the activities, what we cherished most was simply relaxing. Waking up late, lounging on the deck, and indulging in non-stop delicious meals created the perfect balance of excitement and leisure. It was a joy to spend quality time together in such a vibrant and welcoming environment.


Looking Ahead


As our cruise came to an end, we found ourselves already planning our next adventure. Bermuda is calling, and we can’t wait to explore its beauty and charm. Until then, we’ll hold onto the memories of our incredible Carnival Horizon cruise to the ABC Islands, a journey that truly exceeded our expectations.
