Live from the Horizon 11/11/23 southern Caribbean

[jimbo5544]

So…..it has been a good while and we come from  2 adventures that both had….well, lets say interesting events tied to them.  The Pride out of Dover to the Baltics and the Legend out of Baltimore to Greenland….um towards Greenland.  Hope this cruise, while it has less glamorous destinations, hopefully will have somewhat less excitement….  Anyway, come join us. 

[jimbo5544]

This cruise started about 19 months ago.  Our group is 18 cabins of friends and family that frequently cruise together.  We fell in love with the HC rooms on the Vista over in Europe on her maiden season;  They were hooked and began calling themselves (no more blue towels).  This sailing was the first that fit the schedules for everyone.  When on the Mardi Gras a good while back, they said, back to the HC rooms on the Vista Class.  So here we go, come on along.

We're along for the ride Jimbo! We're looking forward to our B2B on the Vista next April in a Havana interior cabin.

Most of our group for this cruise is flying down from the northeast on Friday.  A smaller portion (including us is driving over from the west coast, some on some on friday and staying over at a hotel pre cruise, and some (us) driving over Alligator Alley the morning of.

Yippie!!  Looking forward to another great review!  Craig and I will be in a Havana Cabana January 2025 (I know, but he said he'd pay for it😉) so this will be a fun preamble!👍

We can follow each other.  I promise to give you ample reason to long to get into the HC area, it ROCKS.

We just got off the Horizon this last Sunday. We had so much fun and enjoyed all four stops. Following along to see how it goes for you and your group.

Whoo hoo! This will help get me thru until I board Horizon on December 3! I’m counting down the days until I get to chill in the lovely Havana area. 🙂

Thanks for following along.  Need this cruise to be a relaxed one, the group we are cruising with is a fun one, they make their own fun.  More to come on that.

[thesmiths]

Enjoy and yes, relax, we board 11/25!

 

Havana Aft Wrap!

 

[pe4all]

I'm here following along!  Sailed Horizon in Havana aft wrap and loved it.  We were in L-shaped cabin next to it and saw it open up.  Called my pvp and got it for an extra $250 - best money we ever spent on a cruise!  As ship was only 60% capacity (covid cruise) even then it was a pleasure escaping to the Havana area from the crowded Lido area.  Loved the pool there.

Which Cabin?

 

[Theosprey247]

Will be on this ship in June, so I’m following along.

7453.  Saw 7459 open, called my pvp, got price, jumped on it.  Our original cabin cost $500 including taxes/port charges.  That was a casino rate.  Upselling myself to wrap put cruise cost at $750 total - a bargain in my book for an 8 day cruise! That is probably the first and last time I will ever get an aft wrap - too costly now.
