SharkCruiser24 Posted December 4, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2006 What ever happened to Celebrity Horizon. One day it was on their website and the next it was gone. The class is still labeled as Horizon Class. I have never been on it, but it was only a year or two older than the Zenith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougnewmanatsea Posted December 4, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 4, 2006 The ship is now ISLAND STAR with Island Cruises, a joint-venture between Royal Caribbean and the British tour operator First Choice. She's based in the Mediterranean for the British market in the summer and in Brazil for the Brazilian market in the winter (well, actually, it's summer in Brazil in the southern hemisphere, but it's winter here up north). Next spring, ZENITH will move to Royal Caribbean's Spanish subsidiary, Pullmantur Cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetf Posted December 6, 2006 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2006 The ship is now ISLAND STAR with Island Cruises, a joint-venture between Royal Caribbean and the British tour operator First Choice. Here is a picture of what she looks like now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisindoggie Posted December 30, 2006 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I must say that she looks much better in white. I think maybe an overhaul of colors for the entire X fleet is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeljohn Posted January 13, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Our favorite cruise was aboard the Horizon..........nice to see she's still serving passengers......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janed1031 Posted February 11, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Horizon was my first cruise, back in 1992...although I like the bigger ships they have now, that cruise got us hooked and I will always remember it! Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff A Posted February 20, 2007 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2007 She was my first also..back in 1990...New York to Bermuda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiiPocket Posted March 3, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It was our second cruise and the that "hooked" us on cruisng. We will never forget Millie from Chilie, our head waitress in the dining room. My kids still speak about her and have her photo still on their dresser. Would an one know where I could obtain a model of the ship as the horizon for my collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenjane Posted March 13, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I guess that ship was "addicting". It was also our first cruise and though a much smaller and older ship than those now, we've never felt so pampered. The food , entertainment was the best ever.

Ocean Boy Posted June 9, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Horizon was our first also. We cruise from NYC to Bermuda on her. Horizon was the ship that got us hooked and she will always be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to check (and re-check) on ebay for a ship model. Or try CruiseCritic's 'Cruise Memorabilia' message board. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKNE Posted January 19, 2008 #15 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Also my very first cruise was on the Horizon, back in 1990, on a 'class trip', southern Caribbean. How amazing was that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowVoyager908 Posted January 28, 2008 #16 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The Horizon was my first cruise from New York (to Bermuda) back in 1993. I remember the sense of awe I felt sailing under the Verrazano Bridge, which I had watched being built as a kid. I sailed on the Zenith (same itinerary) just few years later. From what I recall, the ships were exactly alike, not only in layout, but also in decor. Talk about a sense of deja vu. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenjane Posted February 26, 2008 #17 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Wow..it was our first cruise as well and got us hooked too. The service, food and entertainment have never been as good on any of the subsequent cruises we've taken. Maybe it was just because it was our "first".

corona5657 Posted July 24, 2008 #18 Share Posted July 24, 2008 My first cruise was also on the Horizon to Bermuda. What a great time we had!! I still say I wish I could go to New York and get on the Horizon/Zenith:D :D I have to say it was a great time. I am still cruising, but I sure do miss those ships! Thanks for starting this, I just told someone I didn't know where those ships had gotten to.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djonemore Posted July 26, 2008 #19 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Does anyone have any onboard pics of this ship? I cruised on it fron Philly to Bermuda in Sep of 05 right before it was sold, but we didnt really get any good pics of the ship itself. Would be great if anyone that had any pics of the interior of the ship can post them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted August 24, 2008 #23 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Did you ever find photos of the ship? I do have the photo album. However, once the pics were printed the files were, apparently, deleted from the computer without backing them up to disc. So I do not have an electronic format to upload to this thread.

dmrrn73 Posted September 17, 2008 #24 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I was on the Horizon from Philly to Bermuda in 1998 and it was great, I have been on the Zenith 3 times, they were pretty much identical, they were sister ships. I think the only real difference is that the Horion did not have any hot tubs/whirlpools on deck. When DH and I were flying out of Philly on our Honeymoon (at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am) we flew over her on her way up the Delaware, it was so cool to see, I wish I had gotten a pic.

traveller99 Posted September 17, 2008 #25 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Did they keep the "Experimental Balcony" on her? It was starboard-side aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
