To those of you going on the new 11-night cruise on Horizon, we're going on it in Jan. Let me know how you like the itinerary. We booked it last Jan. while on the Summit. They had just put it together and at that time it went to Turks & Caicos rather than Nassau. Don't know why they changed, but we've never been to Nassau, so that's ok.
The Horizon was the first modern ship we cruised on - Alaska 1996. Really liked it at the time,esp. the America's Cup Club during the day. Since then, we've been on the Mercury (W. Carib, 1999), Zenith (Panama Can., 2000) and Summit (Carib, 2003). The latter was breathtaking and we really liked the Mercury, too. They're all nice ships, just give you a different kind of experience. The restaurants on the H & Z are more intimate than the grand, two-story ones on the newer ships. More like the ones on the Princess ships.
