Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We've only been in the Haven proper this past January on the Encore. Loved it. Usually get aft penthouse for the large balcony but I enjoyed being in the proper area. Will miss the Horizon Lounge from the Encore. I'll be looking for you!!!
  2. Just booked last Friday. Cabin 17704 - there were only 2 cabins left on 17. Wish I had the go ahead from family a bit earlier - could have saved over $2,000 on a 2 bedroom. A year from today, we'll be in Tortola - we'll go to Cane Garden Bay.
  3. Thanks for the quick reply. We'll give it more thought. Have been to Antigua before and this place sounded pretty nice. We aren't very demanding.
  4. Please explain. We can do a day pass for 5 of us and it's not too expensive. What is so bad about it????
  5. Love your review and honesty. I really laughed several times. We're sailing the Encore in January and I'm disappointed in the entertainment listed. On the Bliss a couple years ago we saw SIX and it was awesome. This past February there were some kids in the Haven and they were not parented well. One little girl was doing cartwheels in the Haven lounge (on the Getaway which has a smaller lounge). We tried Los Lobos on Bliss and really liked it - sorry you didn't. But there were 6 of us so we entertained ourselves. Have you looked into Virgin - no kids on there either
  6. We booked the Residence Inn Miami Airport for 5 adults. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Free airport shuttle and paid shuttle to port.
  7. Loving your review!!!! My sistah's and I cruise together a lot. And we have a blast. Love the Haven so interested in the Prima. We feel as your do about ports. Don't want to pay for taxis, lounge chairs, umbrellas, drinks - when we've already paid plenty for the Haven so why not just stay and enjoy all they have to offer.
  8. We are booked for Embassy Suites in January because we like the area but haven't stayed there in years so these reviews convince me to book the Hyatt House in Dania because there will be 5 of us and we booked 2 rooms at Embassy where we only need 1 room at Hyatt. We sail out of Miami but usually fly Southwest info FLL. Thanks cruisecritic peeps!!!!!!

  10. Following!!!! Going there in February and I know they have 365 beaches - one for every day of the year. Don't want to go back to the one we've been to previously just because we want to try something new.
  11. If SIX is still on the Bliss - it's a MUST SEE!!!! I still listen to the music all the time and just loved it.
  12. I must say, NCL has THE BEST french fries!!!!! I would get them with steak instead of baked potato.
  13. I liked the dining room better on the Breakaway than the Bliss. When we were on the Bliss - it was so bright at dinner and they said they couldn't turn the lights down. Now - on the Breakaway - I would not want to eat in the courtyard area - I'd wait till a table opened up in the dining room but that's just me. I did like the sun deck better on the Bliss - so much larger.
