Is the NCL Haven Worth It -  

Thanks for the review. We just booked a Haven cruise for next spring. Confused about the inclusions. You mentioned bottled water but the NCL site lists it as part of the higher drink package option you can add (along with unlimited Starbucks and top shelf liquor). Im not big on top shelf stuff but the water is a big deal especially with two small children. Their packages confuse the crap out of me.

I highly recommend the haven. We stayed in The Haven on the Encore and it was absolutely amazing. The best part of it was when the ship or port felt crowded and busy, it was a nice quiet sanctuary to go to and unwind. Plus the staff in the Haven is absolutely top notch. Highly highly recommend it

We're going on the NCLJade in May 2024. Nine day, Caribbean. We've been on many NCL cruises, and other than one we have been happy. First time on the a Penthouse Suite. We usually always book an Aft cabin...this just happens to be a large balcony penthouse. May is a big month for us. Both of our birthdays, Mothers day, and our 46th Anniversary.

We'll be in an Escape Haven Penthouse suite on Feb. 18 and we think it's worth it. We are only able to vacation a couple times a year for now, so we usually splurge. We used to do mini/jr. suites on Princess and Royal, but both prior times on NCl were in suites (Dawn/Jewel) and last 3 on Royal were full suites, HA was a Neptune and just 6 weeks ago a full suite on Princess. BUT, once hubby retires in 14 months, we'l be able to travel more often so will most likely go back to mini-suites or a jr. suite type of cabin as we will want to go on more cruises and longer ones at that. Thank you for the great info. Just found you here on RU-vid. Keep up the great work.

Im in a similar boat. A bunch of my family is all going on the same cruise. Just a 4 day. They're all in balcony rooms but i booked us 4 in the haven. Cost was around $6k. I'm debating on switching it to 2 balcony rooms for around $4k total. Not only saving $2k but like you said you didn't want to take advantage of the haven stuff too much and ignore the rest of your group. I think it would be an amazing experience but I think for just a 4 day cruise with 2 port stops it would be hard to get your money worth out of it if the rest of the group isn't in the haven

Hi, great review! I was wondering, are there hidden charges/fees associated with this suite? I've seen a few reviews and you're actually the first one I've seen that mentions the free room service, free premium movies, etc. so I figured there were a lot of hidden costs, but could you say what services you had to pay for in The Haven?

I just booked the Breakaway spa suite. I'm not too impressed by the actual room but I was afraid if I booked an aft suite the butler wouldn't be too attentive and it would be quite a walk.

We are headed out on our 4th Haven cruise this July, worth every penny!! I would rather sail less often & be in the Haven vs any other experience!!

The price is never disclosed. Simple question: How much?

Absolutely it is worth the hype!

How much is cost you??

I mean, are all haven cabins suites?

Thanks for the update on the Haven. We are on Escape in a couple of weeks in an Aft Penthouse. Had a forward penthouse on NCL Sun to Cuba 5 years ago but no Haven. Really looking forward to this Escape cruise and experiencing the Haven. We have done Suites on RCL Oasis Class ships and HAL Neptune Suites and have always enjoyed the extra level of service we have received and yes, it is worth the money to get spoiled a couple of weeks a year.

Are you saying "sweet experience " or "suite experience"?

CAN YOU PLEASE!! Use the same level audio during the video, SPECIALLY during the intro
