Just wanted to say thanks so much for the videos of the Horizon...we are (hopefully) setting sail for the ABC islands 2 weeks from tomorrow. I am fighting cancer so praying all goes well...so far so good....but it and COVID have prevented us from cruising for over 3 years now...needless to say we are beyond excited. Miami port has changed frequently over the years so I REALLY appreciate your shots of the parking garage being right across the street as that solidifies our luggage drop off plans. Thanks again so much!!! Mary

[@deborahjpower8079]

This has to be my favorite video of you two so far !!!!!!!!!! I laughed through it until the end. Hope you have a wonderful time !

[@TheTravelScouts]

Lol. Thanks! We did a LOT of laughing on this cruise. We should have more videos coming out this week with some pretty silly stuff in them 🤣

[@Cirecording]

Really enjoy your channel. My wife and I went on the Hozion in September 2023, and I belive we enjoyed it more because of the information you shared here. Thank you both!

[@wendegratton1291]

Loved the playful mood of this video, hope you have or had a good time. Enjoy.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Lol. We crazy sometimes! 🤣

[@tamikasamuels1636]

I'll be on the horizon in the fall. Great video, guys. I've watched this one twice.

[@Mrs.Portia_G]

Thanks for the video. My husband and I will be on ship next month. We’re so excited! Have fun!

[@robertfromlifewithfavor]

That was such an amazing cruise. It was so great meeting y’all on the ship. We love looking at all the boats docked/anchored near the cruise ship.

[@TheTravelScouts]

So great meeting you guys! Hope you all are doing well!

[@josephedwardssr.641]

First of all the two of you are amazing, and I would like to thank you for this video. March of 2020 was the last time that we sailed on the Horizon, our itinerary was changed on the first sea day (due to covid) and we flew in and out of Ft. Lauderdale. Our cruise is in October back on the Horizon, and our first-ever trip to Miami Airport. You two are the only ones that truly explained the ins and out's of the arrival at such a vast airport. We have a flight out of Boston at 11:25 in the morning and our friend's flight is at 2:30 pm. Thanks again for what we can do at the airport until their arrival. ARUBA here we come, also I just clicked the button.

[@teresa978]

Details are everything, we will be on the Carnival Horizon for our first ever Carnival cruise for Christmas, I took notes. Thank you for the airport info.

[@arronknisley2308]

[@TheTravelScouts]

Yay! We will have another Horizon video coming out this week :D

[@davidhoffman8122]

We were on the Horizon for a B2B in August 2021. That was our second Vista class ship and we loved it. The cruise director was great. The staff is wonderful. Have a great cruise and we wish we could be there.

I’ve been back exactly 1 week today from the Horizon & I have to see… your video brings it all back for me. Thanks for a great video.

[@CatleKnight]

Great video. We are sailing on the Horizon in three days, so I really appreciate all of the info for the Miami airport.

[@mariebrooks7341]

I never fly the same day that I cruise. NO WAY. I like to arrive a day or so before. What a fun video to watch. Have a fantastic time on your cruise. You will love the ship and the fun ship.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thank you. Yes, too many bad stories about missing connecting flights, flights delayed, traffic. Too much stress to fly day of :) Thanks for watching

[@vionabanks5951]

I love your videos, I can’t wait to cruise again. I am on the Mardi Gras in 16 days I hope my family have as much fun as the two of you are having.

Good points in video! 1st video I’ve watch with taxi information from inside airport. I really enjoyed watching and you both are so funny 😂😂 Thanks for sharing 👍🏾👍🏾

[@geno5169]

My wife and I are looking in the horizon for our girls first cruise. My wife and I cruised on there Mardi Gras in January. That ship was fun and beautiful. We are liking these ports , and we loved guy’s burgers. We eat there a lot , I’m just glad they have water slides for our girls. Thank you two so much for sharing your trip. Where thinking about driving to Miami and staying over night like you did . That’s we did in the Orlando airport.my wife and I stayed in the night before. Very nice.I just found you’re vedio.

[@TheTravelScouts]

We really loved this ship! And LOVED the Havana pool area!!

Thanks for the video. May people would never think of taking a taxi in this day but taxis are still a good option.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@johngabriele7956]

you two are awesome! Can't wait to get back to cruising

[@markt.3454]

What a great video! Loved "hanging out" with you for awhile!

[@antoniocastaneda7258]

My last cruise was on the Horizon March 2020. Right when covid hit. But I really liked the ship. I hope you have a great cruise. I have 6 more weeks till I’m on the Mardi Gras

[@TheTravelScouts]

Ahhhhh enjoy Mardi Gras! It will be here before you know it!!!

[@RinJERKS]

We sailed Horizon last month (2/19 8-day) and loved it!!! We had a Havana interior and pretty much chilled out all week back there.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Ahhh the Havana area is excellent!

[@kimberlylee8639]

You guys are a hoot. I laughed so much. Thanks for taking us along with you! 🤣

[@lindarouse2787]

Loved the video. I wondered where you were. I hadn’t seen you lately. Just finished my Sailabration cruise on the Glory.

[@Johnthephoneguy]

We absolutely love the Horizon, one of our favorite ships. Still love Port Canaveral for ease of getting in and around and from Atlanta its a pretty easy drive, about 8 hours.

[@TheTravelScouts]

Definitely one of our favorites too!!

[@geno5169]

My wife and I are looking in the horizon for our girls first cruise, my wife and I just sailed on the Mardi Gras in January,

[@donaldhooper3064]

You guys are awesome. I wish that I was in your circle of friends. Love to be a part of that enthusiasm. Will be going out on the Carnival Magic on the Apr 2. Don, Ocala Fl

[@seeyouseeme]

Everytime were going on a cruise i always weighed myself before and after😁 , going again this coming December for Carnival Horizon.

[@geno5169]

Thank you so w for sharing your trip. My wife and I sailed on the Mardi Gras in January. Loved it.now where lot at there horizon plus we’re going to take our daughter on first cruise. Where looking at next fall like September. We loved 555 and guy’s restaurant’s. So much we went back twice. I just wish carnival had a Starbucks on board.is there a good place I can get coffee on board? Like strong coffee?? I went before on the Mardi Gras I think on deck 5 we’re guy’s pig restaurant was. That’s we’re I got my coffee. We had a sliding door in our balcony state room. Loved that room. Great vedio you two. You are asewome together.

[@trenitamcdowell2765]

I live the horizon. I was on her in 2019. Have fun.

Fun video!!

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thank for watching our craziness😜

[@animalloverflorida]

You guys are just too cute. Love your videos!

[@debbiec4126]

I love Guys burgers too. But you could have asked for another serving of the salmon. We had a window seat on a recent cruise and it was nice. Until the curtain fell on my head (not heavy)...they couldn't figure out how to get it up but I had a clothespin in my crochet bag and we pinned it up for the night. :)

[@geno5169]

I love salmon and guy’s burgers we eat at guy’s alot on the Mardi Gras in January

[@TheTravelScouts]

Oh my goodness! That would be quite a surprise to have that crashing down! Lol. Hey clothespins are always good to have! You never know what you may need one for!

[@lisacarter23]

Hope you have fun! Hopefully soon they can have cruising for everyone and not just those who took the covid19 shot.

[@mlwise24]

I'm hope on day to be able to cruise with you two. I think it would be a great time.

[@TheTravelScouts]

We hope you can join us! We do have 2 upcoming group cruises- Carnival Glory on July 3, 2022 and Carnival Mardi Gras on May 23, 2023

[@geno5169]

My wife and I sailed on the Mardi Gras in January, by our self’s. We loved that ship, we went there every and enjoyed almost every restaurant. Snd and we then we had there free alcohol packages

[@pammacioch9774]

Can you please tell me the name of the black with green backpack, looks like a nice size for travel. Thanks

[@TheTravelScouts]

Hi Pam. The brand is Eastsport. We got those bags at Walmart several years ago. It is the perfect size bag

[@JNTravels]

I will be watching this series closely. We are sailing the Horizon (maybe a B2B) in October.🐸 (looks like any OBC you have will go to repairs in you cabin😀)

[@TheTravelScouts]

Lol. We really liked this ship and will definitely sail on her again!

[@Trevor-Watlington]

Have you been on the sunrise ? Which would you say is better? I liked and subbed 😁

[@TheTravelScouts]

Thank you! Welcome to the Travel Scouts community! We have been on the Sunshine not Sunrise. However, we would prefer Horizon over Sunrise.

[@rayworthy8022]

My wife and I are going to be sailing in Jan 23. Do you have any do's or don'ts for us. Also what restaurants are included and which ones are not.

[@nancygalle1379]

So fun cant wIt for May 2025

[@Keepsalty]

What date was this cruise? I sailed Houzon over Halloween also. It's my favorite ship hands down. I've sailed her 9 times since end of September. Leaving on #10 on the 10th,

[@TheTravelScouts]

Oct 10, 2021 :) We REALLY liked this ship too and will definitely sail on her again!

[@jezabelpagan4797]

Wow, the food plates are huge! Is that a Carnival thing?

[@lauriegrube007]

Just started the video but since you are just arriving at the airport and are taking a taxi to the cruise terminal. Am I correct to assume you flew in the day of the cruise? Did you exit out of Door 5 arrivals to catch the taxi? Thanks!

[@rodmills737]

I’m going on the Horizon in October, i can’t wait, I do have a question, I see you have an adjacent room , I hated my adjacent room when I was on the Magic it was the worse because I could hear my neighbors whole conversation, I will never do another adjacent room again in life , im excited about both of my cruises this yr

[@TheTravelScouts]

We could not hear people in the connecting room (unless we were sitting on the balcony and they had their balcony door open)

[@lindarouse2787]

Enjoy

[@mariebrooks7341]

Take that long hall walk as soon as you get on the ship. lol Going in the wrong direction is a good thing! It gets the steps in and wakes you up too especially if it's late at night. frfr

[@TheTravelScouts]

Lol. So true! We went the wrong way multiple times so we got lots of steps in! 🤣

I’ve a bunch of cruise videos but I don’t remember anyone showing how to get a ride to the port. Thanks

Hi Carson! We are glad this was helpful. Thanks for watching!

Always appreciate your videos. We're booked on the Horizon in October and haven't sailed her before so will be taking notes.🙂 When did you do this cruise?

[@TheTravelScouts]

Oh wonderful! We will have our ship tour of the Horizon coming out soon! We did this cruise back in Oct and just now having time to edit the videos.

[@geno5169]

Ok i another question.is there a motel in there airport like Orlando airport? That’s we’re we stay?

[@Silentnomore0]

No smoking until the ship sets sail? When did that start?

[@kristinbranson4970]

Doing research on my first cruise and you say you don’t recommend flying in on your cruise day, but is that what you did in this video? Or did you come in earlier and just travel back to the airport for purposes of showing transportation to the port?

[@TheTravelScouts]

Lol. Yes, we did fly in that morning! Our flight arrived in Miami at 6am (and we had a nonstop flight). But with all the flight delays and cancellations, I still don't recommend it. We normally fly in the day before and get a hotel which is what we are doing on our upcoming cruise to Alaska :)

[@Christine-dt2me]

Curious to hear what time you were able to go to your cabin. We sail on horizon 4/2!

[@TheTravelScouts]

It was a little before 1 :)

[@smithbe4042]

Did you tip the porter for taking the baggage? If so how much.

[@johnw391]

Do they have many excursions available does not seem to be many on the website to choose from

Is there a motel in there that we can stay overnight because we were profile and overnight the night before

Is it the same flat rate to get back to the airport from the cruise terminal?

To the best of our memory, we think it was same rate😊

I would Not recommend taking a cruise now guys. Statistics show that at least 30% of the crew on most cruises will have Covid and at least 40 passengers will catch Covid on each cruise.
