Review summary

I really enjoyed my helicopter flight seeing tour in Olden that was amazing. The best Sure excursion I've ever done, but would I do a Norwegian cruise again? No, because I'm a bit because I'm a hot climate person As I'm a Winter baby I appreciate the the warm and exotic climate Of the world will you live in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food is always good but for some reason the food in the horizon was small portions just as well was a buffet

Oasis Spa

5 out of 5

What an amazing experience I visited. The spa 4 times didn't get any treatments done, but I did visit the farmer rooms to detoks Let's just say after I was done I felt like I was walking in slow motion

The Glass House

5 out of 5

1 of the best places to drink

Sindhu

If you like curry then look no further this place is this place is the best Curry House at sea at sea The bread-and-butter pudding to die for

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Golf Nets

4 out of 5

I didn't really experience the golf nets I did see it but it was always i suppose it's not too sad to practice your swing at sea

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I watched a show called Digital I quite enjoyed it but I believe the show was aimed aimed towards the younger the younger crowd between 18 and Late mid 30s Because they seemed to put a lot of Tech into it and it was more social media based

Headliners Theater

5 out of 5

I watched a show called digital I quite enjoyed it but I think it was more based towards the younger Crowd Because it involved a lot of Tech and social media

Ocean Studios

5 out of 5

This was a really neat touch for the cruise it had all the latest Blockbusters You have a choice of 4 screens I believe and you can purchase popcorn

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship's design was good but the layout was all over the place the restaurants were far there was a lot of steps as well Which isn't a bad thing because it can help burn off those cruise miles. I think for solo travellers big ships like that aint good because you tend to blend in As it's a family based ship along with couples

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ship tip

Make sure you book everything as soon as you step on board because everything's all booked up if you leave it later

There was only small portions at the night buffet.

Was there any reason for small portions in the Horizon. It is a buffet and help yourself unless it has changed since last September.

Confused. Were you on the Iona or a NLC cruise (I don’t think they’re the same). Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
