We were on the Horizon for an eleven-day eastern Caribbean cruised from Jan 19, 2004 through Jan 30, 2004. Ship is older but you wouldn't know it. It is beautifully maintained. Carpeting was being replaced outside the theatre area during our cruise.
Ship has a gym with 4 treadmills, 2 bikes, two or three cross trainers and four or five weight training machines. They also have a modest amount of free weights. There is a track on 12th deck for walkers and runners.
There is a saltwater pool, and a hot saltwater whirlpool or bubble pool on the 11th deck. There is also a sauna associated with the gym on the 12th deck.
Forward on the 7th deck is the movie theatre and Celebrity showroom and bingo parlor. In the afternoon, they show movies and the area is used for the nightclub shows in the evening. It is a two-deck facility with the balcony being on the eighth deck. During our cruise, they repeated some movies about 11:00 pm in the evening. Most of the nightclub shows were held before dinner for the late diners and after dinner for the 6:30 pm crowd. "Chicago" was the oldest movie shown during our cruise.
I don't think you will be disappointed with a repositioning cruise on the Horizon. It is a small ship and you will meet and know a lot of people at the end of your cruise. Menus, service and activities are in line with the larger ships. You can't ice skate or climb a mountain but you can have a great time.
