cruisemiluv28 Posted August 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Just had an amazing 8 day going to Aruba, Curacao, La Romana and Amber Cove. The CD Donkey was amazing. If you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemjam Posted August 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Several people have commented about the public areas on the ship being unbearably hot. Did you experience this? How was your room temp? We cruise in a couple weeks and will want to spend time at bars, the casino, etc. and was wondering if we are going to have an issue based on what a few others have reported. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craxe77 Posted August 16, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I read comments about long lines for food, hot areas inside and short tempered cruisers. What was your experience. Also, what type of room did you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisemiluv28 Posted August 17, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I stayed in a spa balcony deck 11 port side. I only had breakfast in the buffet area. The only long lines were the omlete station. I most say I didn't encounter any rude people and I didn't hear any complaints. I had exursions is all 4 ports through carnival. Aruba we did the submarine with carnival and an island tour with someone at the port, Curacao we an island tour with a beach break that also went to the caves, La Romana we did the Top 10 and Amber Cove the Wild truck adventure with beach break. They all were very good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemiluv28 Posted August 17, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We had dinner at JiJi the first night. The food was good. The Chefs Table Monday night, it was a good experience, Wednesday Teppanyaki, it was a lot of food I couldn't finish it. Thursday Cucina del Capitano, it was decent and the steak house Saturday night, food was good. We also had the cheers package husband did it justice. I had occasional cocktail, specialty coffee, soda and water. Was it worth it. It was piece of mind that there wasn't a bill at the end of the cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comedy show full crowds +18 shows. Line was all the way back to the casino on one show. I actually waited at the door for the end of the line to go inside and I was still able to get two seats with table almost in the front. So the lounge holds more people that I thought.

I think our cruise is a premier casino cruise and was afraid it would be crazy busy. With all the people in there, I may find other entertainment. We usually arrive really early for the comedy each night, so we will continue to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keata Posted August 21, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Was there a smoking section on the Promonade deck? I'm looking at booking this ship and I would only be 1 floor up from the promonade and don't want to be over the smoking area. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Red Frog Pub on the Horizon. They have a bar at Guy's pig and anchor smokehouse that does not have a happy hour, but is a far superior bar overall in my opinion. For added confusion is a Red Frog rum bar on the lido deck of the Horizon, but it also does not have a happy hour. I've been on Horizon three times and have never seen a happy hour on the first day.
