Review summary

The Horizon will be a great ship for a weeks getaway in the Carribian or Europe’. On the transatlantic there was little to do during the day except trivia games and spending money on movies, gambling, drinking or thrill rides. Evening entertainment was too similiar although the production shows were brilliant. The theatre is too small for the ship and if you don’t get there at Least 30 minutes early you will struggle to get a decent seat.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Keeping in mind this is a new ship with new staff we can understand why the food want up to Carnivals usual tasty treat. It was disappointing though to not have quality food or drink (except the Pig and Anchor which was terrific!)

Ship tip

Try to stay on floor 6, 7 or 8. The 9th floor is just below the lido deck and the rooms can be noisy.
