My wife and I will have our first Haven experience on our 3rd NCL cruise in August (21-28) out of New York, and we're very excited, as it has been way too long since we've been on a cruise! I have 2 questions that are related to the cruse but not to each other and was looking for some guidance.
My first question involves checking in/the first day. The cruise disembarks New York at 11:59 PM, and we've never been on a cruise that disembarks at this time. What time would check-in typically be for a cruise that leaves at 11:59 PM? We're trying to plan our day in NYC, and I don't want to miss too much time that I could be on the ship. Will we be able to have dinner in the Haven restaurant on the first night (while the ship is still in port)? My gut tells me yes, but I really hate assuming.
My second question involves special requests in the Haven restaurant. My wife and I really enjoy French Onion Soup, and love Escargots. I know these items are available at La Bistro, but what are the chances I could get either or both of those items in the Haven restaurant?
Thanks in advance!
