Review summary

I loved the horizon. I prefer new ships because less stuff breaks on the ships. The horizon is huge but the way they handle things you wouldn’t know it was that many people on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I only eat in the main dining room, it was great. We went to the steakhouse and that was great as well. Buffet had a variety menu though.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I mainly relaxed but they have two pools, 2 slides, the rollercoaster, fitness center and a track to walk. They also have basketball courts and mini golf.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We had One waiter the first night and just requested him for the rest of the week since we had your time dining.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship lay out was ok, there’s a wait for the smart elevators and the air conditioning wasn’t working in some areas like the elevators or the buffet area.

Cabin / Stateroom

Normal cabin size.

Ship tip

Be patient with the elevators and finding some where to sit
