I was on this cruise too and also heard the Captain’s announcement of no C19 cases.  I enjoyed the cruise and am glad I went despite the negativity surrounding cruising. 

I have sailed on the Horizon three times—to the Canaries, Adriatic Coast & most recently, the UAE.  I loved it.  The ship is older and not as fancy as the lines with more modern ships, but the people are friendly, itineraries are great and price is excellent.  I will be sailing on a ship they may be losing from their fleet—Zenith—next month.  

It is a Spanish ship, so the primary language spoken on board is Spanish.  However, most of the crew also speak English, so the language issue should not be a barrier to your enjoyment.  For excursions, a minimum number of English speakers are required (12 I think).  Before they’ll have an English speaking guide.  During the cruise down the Adriatic coast, I was the only native, English speaker present. Fortunately, the guides spoke passable English so I didn’t misunderstand the return times and get left behind. LOL!  It didn’t dampen my enjoyment one bit.

I hope this helps.

Hello. I took Pullmantur for the first time last February and sailed the Canaries and Morocco. I enjoyed the Agadir excursion into Marrakesh. It took about 11 hours and was wonderful! The tour guides were very helpful, the scenery was beautiful, and my tour mates were very friendly.

I cruised with Pullmantur - Horizon for the first time in February 2018 (Gran Canaria -Canary Islands - Morocco). I had a great time and decided to go again this fall.

I just want to say hi to anyone else who is taking this cruise. :)

Thank you for this thread, Tiger-1! I will be taking this cruise in February as a solo cruiser and appreciate you providing the ongoing details of your trip. TDoes the Horizon have an walking/jogging track?
