We love this ship. But to be fair here are the FEW negative points we have found. Because this ship is about 80% balconies and 20% inside rooms, the rooms are somewhat tight. We could not pass each other between the bed and TV. Not the end of the world. Also the balconies are made for 2 people and no more. Again since this cruise at this time in the fall had mostly older couples it was no big deal.

On the positive side, when we first saw the atrium, called the Piazza, our jaws dropped. It is easily the most elegant atrium we have ever seen in over 50 cruises. The design is outstanding and at least for me, I could just sit there and look at it for hours. Many of the lounges were spacious and the theater has no poles or columns to block the views of the shows. The production shows were good and the last one called "Bravo" was so good we saw it at the early time and returned to see it again at the late showing.

Another big plus is the 2 part buffet. Called the Horizon Bistro and Horizon Court. The food was good such as bowls of shrimp and other ethnic foods. We learned quickly to investigate the whole area before filling our plates. Also near the atrium is the "International Cafe." One can grab a quick sandwich or pastry at anytime at no cost. Read more
