  1. Have you gotten a letter from your pre-cruise concierge? If so, contact him or her and ask them to provide you with the list. You should be able to preorder through them. The "bottle service" list is a pretty good gauge of what is available. If you wait until you board to make your ur selections, don't be afraid to ask your butler about possible substitutions if you want something that is not on the list. When we stayed in a DOS, we subbed Capt Morgan and Malibu without an additional up charge, even though they were not on the list.

     

     

    No not yet, the sail date is still 120 days away. So I know I won't be getting the letter anytime soon. Thanks for the tips! Captain Morgan is one of my favorites as well.

    That was me! Thank You Very Much!!!
  3. Thanks for the review...so we'll written. We're considering booking a haven suite for 2016 on BA and I have few questions.

    Is complimentary bottled water and Perrier (or Pelligrino) available in the Haven?

    Are there any special events that take place in the Haven ( e.g. Pre-dinner music in the lounge)?

    Is it difficult to find a seat in the shade in the courtyard or on the Haven sun deck?

    What is the priority disembark process like?

     

    Thank you for any insights you can offer!

     

    We received one complimentary bottle of Aquafina in the beginning of the cruise. You can get more and other types of water for a fee. We just brought a case of water with us because it was so much cheaper.

     

    I didn't really see any special events going on in the Haven lounge, no live music or anything like that. One day by the Haven pool there was a guy carving fruit you can eat into different types fishes and sharks.

     

    We never had a problem finding a seat in the courtyard or sundeck. There is a lot of seating all over the place and we always saw empty seats and cabanas. Even on the busiest sunniest sea day there were open seats and cabanas.

     

    Unfortunately we didn't get to experience the priority disembarkation due to the everglades excursion we booked. But we did get all the paperwork and tags incase we wanted to. It looked very straight forward and easy to do.

  4. Did you stay in Lauderdale before the cruise and if so where? Also who did you use for transfers?

     

    Yes we did. We stayed at the Residence Inn Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port. The hotel provided complimentary transportation from the airport to the hotel. The hotel had transportation to the port of Miami for a flat rate of $80 for the first 1-4 passengers and an additional $13 per person after that. We did everything through the hotel to make it easy.

  5. I was wondering if there are showers at the gym or if the they accessible only for the people that pay for spa or thermal suit passes

     

    No showers for the gym. Only for people who have a spa pass. BTW we were really let down by the gym on the ship. Way too small.

  6. Thanks for your review pboxfun! I saw that you did the airboat excursion after the cruise. I have that booked as well for my cruise that starts next week! Just wondering, when did you make it back to the airport (which airport)? I currently have a 5:15 flight booked but have the opportunity to switch to 3:35 and wondering if that's enough time. Thanks!

     

     

    I want to say we made it to Fort Lauderdale airport around 1pm. We had about the same time flight as you and wished me made it earlier. They said they make it that time incase they hit traffic or run late.

  7. Will Adrain be around for a while? Sailing next week.

    Do you remember who the asst concierge was?

     

    Thanks

     

     

    Adrain is going to be there until the Escape launches. He's going to be the concierge for that ship in the fall. I'm not sure who is going to be replacing him. I forget his assistant name but she was Filipino lady. She was really good and helped us out just as much as Adrain did.

  8. Thanks :)

     

     

     

    Thanks for all the tips, greatly appreciated. We will pre book all meals, and then swap around on board. Is it recommended to book shows etc as i know they have an area reserved for Haven guests. Thanks for the tip about the Havens Cocktail Party and dressing up, i believe that this is also Norwegians Night Out as well, can you remember the time of the party as we will book dinner for after it. Did you do the Illusion show and thanks again for the pictures.

     

    Yes, it was the same night as Norwegians night out. I can't remember off the top of my head but it was either 6:30 or 7:00pm.

     

    Yes I would recommend doing the Illusionarium. I didn't see the previous shows but this one was pretty good. Since we were Haven they gave us front row seats right in front of the stage.

  9. Great review look forward to some pics, Sailing in the Haven for the first time in September, 4 days out before reservations can be made. What should i pre book and What day was the Haven cocktail party and where was it ? Any tips

     

    What I recommend doing is pre booking all the specialty restaurants you want to go to. At least then you'll be on the books and it will be easier to move you around to the times you want. Just because you pre book for certain time doesn't mean you can't change it to fit your schedule. The cocktail/captains party was on the second day of the cruise. They had it at the Grammys Experience. We met the captain and most of the officers there. They were serving h'orderves, wine, and a variety of mix drinks for free. A tip I can offer is to dress up nicely for this event. People really dressed up for this party.
