Seems like cruising really is back to normal seeing you and Patti are out there reporting! Can't wait to see more. We sail the Mardi Gras 10/2 and can't wait to get back! Christine Hey there! Glad to have you aboard once again. Enjoy your cruise on the Mardi Gras! 😎 12 hours ago, Princess Cruiser27 said: Hi Jeff and Patti. Finally back to cruising. Finally caught up on your review. Great photo's as usual. I agree with you on the South of the Boarder being a tourist trap. Hey Barb! Yes, we are back. Do you have any cruises planned? 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be following along and you and Patti found some places on the ship that I never made it to! IMHO, I think Patti did a wonderful job showing off the Horizon. Hey Joe, it was great meeting you on board. We have a lot more pictures to show everybody. 😎 7 hours ago, JaniceB said: How exciting to be cruising again! I'm so happy you picked the Horizon because I will be sailing on her in October. Patti always takes such great pictures of the ship. Enjoying your report. Thanks for following along once again. Have a great cruise on the Horizon! 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimandtim Posted September 6, 2021 #103 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Thanks so much for the great trip report! You mentioned that you played blackjack - how were the conditions? No 6/5, I hope (NCL had 3/2 at $15 on our August trip, although I prefer $10) - reasonable table limits? Just days till I sail... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reading! BJ was 3/2 at the $25 table, 6/5 on anything lower. I mostly played on the $10 table. Broke even for the cruise. 😎 21 minutes ago, Princess Cruiser27 said: Jeff, I have the Enchanted Princess booked for October 2022 RT out of NYC to Canada New England.

x lindsay x Posted September 6, 2021 #107 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Was the Camp Ocean playground open? On the Vista in July this area was definitely only accessible through the kids club so off limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camp Ocean was not open but the gate to the playground was not locked, so Patti was able to go in and take pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 6, 2021 Author #109 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Day # 2 - Sea Day # 1 - 8/22/21 We were up at 7 am to smooth seas and a slightly hazy day. No fun times to post today, but I promise I will get better. Since we are sailing south, and our cabin is on the port side, we get to see the sunrises….. This is our view facing forward as the Horizon makes her way to Aruba….. This is our view facing aft….. Patti left the cabin at 8:30 to browse the shops, take some pictures, and then she would be heading to the Morning Show. I left the cabin at 9 and stopped at the Ocean Plaza where there is a small breakfast buffet set up. Patti stopped and checked out the Library Bar…… To be continued……. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 6, 2021 Author #110 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This morning’s Dreamscape in the Lobby…… I met up with Patti at the Morning Show. We started going to these on our Hawaii cruise a few years ago, and try to make them every sea day morning. It’s a great way to get to know the Cruise Director, Fun Squad, and other crew members….. Here’s the gang….. This is Pablo. He was also on the Fun Squad for our Sunrise B2B in 2019…. This is Britni, who is also the bingo host on board…. This is the Cruise Director, Donkey….. Afterwards, I made my way to the casino to play some more blackjack. I played for an hour or so and once again broke even. I have Drinks on Us so I had a few while playing. I befriended a casino bar server named Indra last night, so I never have to wait to get a drink. Patti stayed after the Morning Show for the Fun Aboard / Fun Ashore Show….. Our itinerary……. Here are the protocols for each of our port stops. Just a note, Amber Cove protocols are the same as La Romana….. To be continued……. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 6, 2021 Author #111 Share Posted September 6, 2021 After the Fun Aboard / Fun Ashore talk Patti made her way back to the cabin, taking these pictures along the way. She went up to Deck 6 to check out the Carnival Multiplex. She will be checking out the Imax Theater later on in the review. Here is the ticket lobby and waiting area…… The Lobby St. Jude’s Dreamscape…… The Limelight Lounge which is where the Comedy shows are performed on the Horizon….. I met Patti back at the cabin, from there we went up to the Lido Marketplace for lunch. This is today’s Comfort Kitchen menu…. The Deli menu….. The Gelato Station…. To be continued….. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 6, 2021 Author #112 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This is the PYOB Station…… Plenty of cakes are available….. Afterwards, I made my way over to the Tides bar for a few, while Patti headed to the Liquid Lounge for Mystery Bingo. She took these pictures along the way. What is down this long hallway on Deck 4 ? It’s Club O2….. Regie is playing in the Lobby this afternoon….. We later met back at the cabin to hang out on our balcony and relax. Patti reported that she didn’t have any luck at bingo.

Rare Jamman54 Posted September 6, 2021 Author #113 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Around 5:30 we decided that it was time to eat dinner. We have Anytime Dining, so we made a reservation on the Hub App and within 10 minutes our table was ready. We were on the lower level on the Meridian Restaurant, and this was our wait team…… Here are Patti and I at the Elegant Night dinner….. We both started with a Caesar salad and shrimp cocktail….. We both had two orders of the lobster. They were very small, only about 3 or 4 bites each….. I also had a flat iron steak. For dessert Patti had the fruit platter….. I had a banana split and the coffee crème cake….. After dinner we made our way to the Liquid Lounge for tonight’s show. The Sunny Girls Trio was performing in the Lobby. They are amazing! Tonight’s show is “Soulbound”. Let me tell you that this is now our favorite Playlist Production show by far, even better than “Celestial Strings”. What a performance both visually and musically. Don’t miss it! We are sorry we didn’t get any pictures because we got there about 15 minutes before show time, and we wound up sitting upstairs in seats without the greatest of views. We’ll be early next time. After the show Patti went back to the cabin to read. I stopped at the Skybox Sports Bar for a couple of beers. I knew Lucian the bartender from our previous cruises on the Pride, and we talked about old times. I hung out there for a couple of hours before calling it a night. Here is tonight’s towel creature and our invites to tomorrow’s Diamond Luncheon……. Coming up next: Another great sea day! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many others in our own and neighboring towns didn't fare so well. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 7, 2021 Author #124 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Day # 3 - Sea Day # 2 - 8/23/21 Here are today’s “Fun Times”….. We were up at 7am. The sun is already up….. The seas are a little choppy, and the temperature is in the low 80’s. Here’s our view looking forward and aft….. We were not planning on breakfast this morning since the Diamond Luncheon is at 11:15. Patti left the cabin to browse the shops again and take some pictures. I was going to stay in the cabin for a while longer and work on the pictures, and then meet her in the Liquid Lounge for the Morning Show. Patti heads down to Deck 5 and passes through the Ocean Plaza where they are about to begin the Make it with Michael’s event…… The Alchemy Bar…..
