Review summary

Had a great time and will definitely sail the Horizon again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was super fast. Arrived at the port at 10:40….drink in had at the Tides Bar by 11:15.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Some good, some mediocre, some excellent. Baked Alaska was the best dessert I’ve had in a long time.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Preferred to relax in Serenity most of the time on the ship. Comedy wasn’t great. Sky ride was fun as well as mini golf. Had fun doing the water slides a few times to cool off. Overall it was a good time.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Enjoyed some of the public space music… only show we went to was Soulbound which was okay. We really didn’t go on the cruise to watch shows though.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room steward was incredible. Took care of our every need.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Loved everything about the cabin except our neighbors who sounded like they spend all their time inhaling as much cigarette smoke as possible. Being a connecting balcony (all that was available when I booked) we could hear the coughing and hacking every morning and night. Not a deal breaker, just ruined the peacefulness of the balcony view and experience.

Ports of call

La Romana, Dominican Republic

For the questions about getting off the ship… yes. In Aruba we rented a car and spent the day at baby beach (spent a week in Aruba back in July so we were familiar with the island). In Curacao we had day passes to Sunscape. Both of the DR stops we just walked around the shops in port and then enjoyed the ship after. Hope that helps!

I sometimes wish we could screen our neighbors on cruise ships. Put all the crying babies, coughed, door slammers, etc. together. Sorry you had “noisy” neighbors. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

I know I’m a little late with this (almost a year) but the Horizon is a great ship with a great staff. I would sail on it in a heartbeat!

Awesome Trip

Fun!
