They are basically the same. The Horizon entered service in 1990, the Zenith in 1992.
They are both 46000 ton ships, have the same layout, etc.
I have sailed both but was on the Horizon for the 2nd time a few months ago and it had been well maintained. From reading posts re / the Zenith, it too has been well cared for.
You wouldn't go wrong on either, keeping in mind they are not new, glitzy mega ships with all the bells and whistles some ships have today.
If all else fails, flip a coin.

Almost identical ships...make your choice on cabins available or price........They do stop different days at the different ports if that matters to you....

Which is less money for the room you want? Haven't been on the Horizon but the Zenith was fun. Just know that she is 11 years old and has a different style than those ships built in the mid-90s and turn of the millennium.

I just came back on the Horizon to Bermuda 5/3/03.

Word of advice, do not book any rooms under the kitchen galley (rooms in the 6000 area). It was very noisy in the middle of the night. I will never make that mistake again.

The Zenith and the Horizon have the same deck plans.

These ships are not glitzy. But the dining room food and service was fabulous. Great martinis.

Bermuda is wonderful. Enjoy the cruise.

Have done the Horizon twice, never on the Zenith. Last time on the Horizon was last month. Enjoyed it a lot. Chose the H over the Z because of the time it spent in the ports. Check the itinerary closely. We thought we'd rather be in Hamilton longer than St George. Our preference. Also for the first time we participated in "Harbour Nights" on Front Street in Hamilton. This is on Wednesday nights only. Crafts, singers, dancers, performers, food, shops open late, etc. Lots of fun for everyone.

PS - The Horizon was well maintained and managed. I'd choose it again for Bermuda.
