We are scheduled for Encore in April.   A Haven Courtyard suite.  Wondering about the balcony size. Liked the looks of yours.  May I ask your room category?

I end my day here....and begin my day here.....then onto the restaurant to start the day with avocado toast with a poached egg.....

Phew!    Thanks, that makes me feel much better. 

Just read on another post that you cannot drink cocktails in Haven courtyard suite. We have the drink package.  Could this be true?

Will be in haven.  Encore 4-12. How do you tip?  Cash, credit cards or vouchers. Thanks. 

Can I cancel my NCL reservation and immediately make a new reservation with a travel agent

I paid my full amount for haven suite. It is not due until 12-14-2019.  This for a cruise in April 2020.  I’m booked through NCL direct.  Can I change to a travel agent for a better price.   I’ve heard I can’t.

 Don’t want to ask my NCL representative 

Yes, thank you Bill. And all others who responded 

There is a group of about 15 of us traveling. Is there a form of communication on the ship so we can keep in touch with each other. Hand held communication of some sort?

.We are on the NCL Encore.  Thanks

Chillu. We just returned from our August 21 NCL cruise to Cuba. Had a great time. We did not take a NCL tour but did used an independent tour guide. Contacted him about 3 months befor cruise after reading a recommendation on trip advisor. Told him what the 4 of us wanted to do and he arranged everything at a very reasonable price. His name is Rony Infante. Email contact is ronaldinfante at nauta dot cu. Let me know if you have questions. Karen

Thank you. I have been looking for your review. I will go to Facebook now.

Ok. Let's start over. Or maybe I should start a new post. I am looking for the free brands of alcohol. And which brand there is a charge for and which brands are no charge. I.e. Smirnoff, Sky. Stoli. Jack Daniels. Beefeater. Bombay. Not kinds of mixed drinks

Cruisermom. Thank you. I will certainly follow. We go August 20

I guess I am really confused. Juice in the wine?? I am asking about sparkling wine. I know that they obviously don't have champagne included. So the method of making champagne out of the champagne region of France is called sparking wine. Proseco and sparkling wine are usually on a cruise ship for the price of wine.

Stoneman, thanks for your very informative reply.

Anyone just off the Sky that has a all inclusive bar menu to post? I found one from January 2016 but was hoping for a more current one.

Also, interested in the wine selection. Are there any included sparkling wine or proseco that is included.

Any alcohol information would be appreciated

Thank you Colin. What a horrible wine policy for consuming wine in your room!

We have done quite a few cruises but never on Sky and never out of Miami. I have read that you can check your large bag on sky when you board the ship. But is there a porter or someone on the pier that you check your luggage with? Don't want to carry on when boarding. Is it safe? And what would be a fair gratuity?

Have read all the water "rules" but did not see if you can you bring a open bottle of water past security when boarding? Also, are you allowed to bring on a bottle of wine?

Thank you

How can you tell a counterfeit from a real one?

We will be going in August. Would like to purchase a bottle of rum. Will NCL confiscate and hold until we disembark. Or can we just carry on? Love your review and photos.

Did a search and can't find answer. Is there a hairdryer in the balcony mini suites? Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your very thorough review. Great pictures. One question, $150 total for the 3 of you or $150 each?

Thank you all so much. Just went to casino and put my $275 on casino account, played a few $$ and cashed out Got my money. $16 well spent for carnival wifi. Out in the Pacific and pretty fast wifi. Found carnival staff much friendlier than past cruises.

did I miss something? On Imagination now. Applied $300 Verizon gift cards to my sign and sail account. Went to casino and played $25. Went to cashier to cash out and she said I had to go to customer services. Talked to two people and they said I could not get back cash. Had to be used for onboard services, purchases etc. Don't want any purchases. Am I out the $300? Yikes.

Does Havana Tour Company comply with the OFAC rules?
