We just returned from our Spring Break cruise on the Horizon. We wanted to try a Vista Class ship. So far, we have taken 8 cruises with Horizon. Below are the Cheers and Jeers:

Had a Havana Suite. The added balcony room is a treat. The room was very quiet.
Our cabin was very quiet. We did not hear other passengers in the hallway or hear doors shut. The extended balcony is worth the additional cost.The patio furniture is uncomfortable. We did not use the Havana pools.
Room was clean and comfortable.
It is a nice port for those who have not booked an excursion.
You need to either stay on the ship or book an excursion at this port. There are no shops nearby like the other ports.
We took the airboat shuttle for $7. Be prepared to be approached constantly by people trying to sell their wares or an excursion. We flagged someone to take us to the passport office which was outside of the security gates.He wanted $5.We paid $20 because he drove us, waited, and then took us back.
