Royal Class. Horizon Court/International Market Place

[helencruising]

I have been on the Regal Princess.  The Horizon Court was amazing. I am wondering on the newer ships Enchanted  in Discovery they’re showing international market place instead of the Horizon Court. Are they set up pretty much the same are there any differences between the Horizon Court on the older royal class ships and the international market place on the newer ships.

It might be, and maybe it changed on both, but when we compared a cruise on Royal a couple years back, versus the Sky this February, the Royal's buffet offered more choices.  Sky's was still good, but at least a notch lower than Royal's.  Princess changed name to Market place or something like that.  It wasn't named that at the time on our Royal cruise.

We also loved the Regal and the Horizon Court buffet. We loved the location

too because we could easily walk to the aft are and enjoy our food.

 

Yo may not care for the Horizon Court on the Coral or Island. It is in the very

front of the ship. We felt claustrophobic because the windows were always

steamed up. Yes, it was a humid trip as well (Panama Canal). The windows are

also slanted. However, most people adore the Coral. Not us.

We did a Panama Canal cruise on the Coral last year.  We eat at the buffet every night, found place pleasant and a reasonable selection of items.  We have stopped going to MDR on all Princess ships, just don't feel menu is as good as it use to be.  We prefer the Crown Grill and go there often in lieu of MDR.   We are not a fan of the Coral either because we do not like the steak house menu.  Best part of the Coral was the main deck with loungers.  We prefer the Grand Class ships, will be doing the Ruby since it is now home ported in San Francisco.  We have done one TA on the Royal, buffet nice, too big, ship too big and balconies too small.

The balcony size depends on which cabin you choose.

Some Aft, angled and on the bow for Marina and Lido will get you

a nice balcony.

Horizon Court, International Market Place....I am sure that there will be big big changes to the buffet before Princess gets back to sailing.
