Review summary

Had a good time overall. Don’t think I’d rush back. Food was a major disappointment. Was served raw chicken one night which could have been fatal. Probably the reason I spent a day in my cabin with vomiting and diarrhea. Food served was never really hot, almost lukewarm. I did not care for the”smart” elevators. Best thing was friendly and helpful staff and good excursions.

I ate at Guys pig and barbecue 2 different nights and ate chicken both nights. The first night the chicken was perfect. I went back another night and the chicken was raw and bloody.

Perfect Caribbean cruise
Enjoying 8 nights on the Horizon
It was a Beautiful Ship. Everyone was so nice. We had the best waiters ever. Our room was awesome and never had to ask for anything they already had it for us..
