Review summary

Aruba was a wonderful port of call and the Horizon is a nice ship. The activities and entertainment were good. The big negative was our dining room experience. Pig and Anchor had great BBQ and the service was much better there than inside the dining room.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was very quick and smooth. No issues. Felt safe with the security checks in place.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
We had issues with the dining room with our group not being seated together. Normally on past cruises when this occurs its a quick fix with the Maitre'D. Not on this cruise, this Maitre'D said our group had to sit in My Time Dining if we wanted to be together. From night one there were issues in the Merridean Dining Room during My Time Dining, our group still could not sit together on night one. Each night there was a different issue from seating and service. One night our server completely forgot our dessert orders.

Onboard Activities
