The adults only area is not the area with the swimming pool. Its not the enclosed courtyard area. That enclosed courtyard area is open to all Haven guests including children.. Its paying Haven guests only because it isn't that big and definitely not enough chairs or space in the Haven pool for a bunch of extra people.
Its like being on the concierge floor at a nice hotel, you can bring your personal guests to your room but you can't take them to the lounge with the free appetizers and free drinks!
TheHaven courtyard is nice but it is enclosed, 4 sides surrounded by ship, there is no where to sit in the courtyard and see the ocean if that matters to you. Guests without children tend to migrate to the upper sundeck because the enclosed courtyard gets really loud, its an enclosed space with lots of glass and metal and the noise bounces off the hard surfaces. Even a couple kids playing in the pool gets loud from the noise bouncing around that enclosed space.
The Haven upper sundeck is what is adults only/Haven guests only. Its even smaller than the courtyard area with maybe 25 lounge chairs and a hot tub. Space is at a premium. There is definitely no extra lounge chairs for extra guests because there aren't even enough to go around. That isn't being a Karen.....good lord, your guests pay a small fraction of what legitimate haven guests pay and then they take a chair when there aren't nearly enough to go around anyways....that's just basic. Very basic. The staff in the Haven knows who belongs and they will address any guests who don't belong. They also know the ages of the kids, from the passport info you enter for each guest. They know the minors, they will address it.
Ive cruised the NCL haven many times with my young kids. Now we've aged out of that stage and we are all glad for a space in the Haven that can be kid free. We stay out of the enclosed courtyard area, we'll leave that space for you with kids. When you get beyond the young kid years, you'll feel the same way.
