It was a nice room, very clean, but there was a loud squeak sound followed by a door closing every 1-5 min. Called guest services and they could not figure it out so I had to resort to the white noise app whenever we were in the room to drown out the sound. Guest services kept calling the room to give us an update that they were working on it, and wanted us to call every time we heard it...not practical when it happens every 1-5 min.

Ship tip

Bring your own hand sanitizer and use often. The crew does a good job of keeping things clean for the most part, however the buffet is a free for all and not mandatory to use hand sanitizer before entering any food line like Princess cruise ships. There are some really disgusting people out there that think "their shit don't stink" and want to share their nasty, grimy germs!!

Beware the shuttle to get from the ship to the city is 17 euros per person conveniently billed to your cruise account.

Our 4 night to Bermuda in 2 weeks has more sea days than port days so I’m really excited about exploring the Horizon.
