Review summary

Ship was perfect, Horizon staff was perfect with the exception of our room steward who kind of dissapeared halfway through the trip. At first he was great then the service just went away and he did the bare minimum. Other than that everyone was great. Shout out to Runatu and Gordana at the MDR. They were just awesome. Shemeer took the best photos, most of the ones we bought were from him. He knew just what to do getting our photos with two young kids. If you do photos on any of the formal nights, look for Shemeer!!! Just one thing about the elevators, they would work flawlessly if used the right way. The only reason it doesn't work on this ship is because people either do not care, or aren't smart enough to use them. I think most people just don't care. So....it's not the elevator it's you. And one more thing, to those of you that occupied the Cat in the Hat water park seats for hours and hours.....🖕🏼 🖕🏼

Fastest we've ever gotten on. No wait time at all, and also no FTTF!

Food and Dining

Runatu and Gordana were the best. By the 2nd dinner they already knew what we wanted before we even had to ask for it. Hope we get to see them again in the future!

Onboard Activities

My daughter and I actually did the slides. It was a blast! Although the Sky Rides had to stop service but that's not their fault.

Probably our favorite port to date. We did the De Palm Island excursion. The snorkeling was amazing. Food was good, and had all the complimentary drinks I could handle. Kids also had a blast at the kids water park.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
We just decided to walk around the town and do some shopping. Walked across the floating bridge and even went back out at night to take pictures. We got some great nighttime pictures of the town and the ship.

La Romana, Dominican Republic
