Review summary

First time on the Horizon and with a balcony stateroom. I really enjoyed myself. The cruise director Leon, entertainment and deck parties were the best things about this cruise. The food was just okay.

Food was okay. I've had better on The Pride.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I really enjoyed the deck parties, Karaoke and carnival quest.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The DJ's were good. I saw a stage show that was excellent (can't remember the name). It was set in the roaring 20's but used current music.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

My daughter enjoyed the teen club (15-17). She made a lot of friends that she hung out with daily.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Contact with all staff was professional and friendly. My room steward Develin was the best.

My first balcony cabin. Roomier than an interior. Plenty of storage space.

Be ready to party. It's a good time.

Love Jamaica. We did the river tubing excursion. It was a lot fun and we were with others in the group of about 20 people.

AuntiePinkie, that is so true. My husband wanted an Oceanview and said this is it right here, but then we got upgraded to a balcony and he said " we are never going back to an oceanview.

Appreciate your feedback. The problem with a balcony cabin is that once you have one you don’t want to go back. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

Worst cruise possible

Good experience with all the staff, cruise director Leon is excellent he kept everyone is engaged. Best experience I had on a cruise ever and this is the second time on that boat. I would like to see some more action when it comes to poker tournaments.

Ship needs work. Not safe!
