You can get French press coffee in the haven restaurant or delivered to your suite by butler. you can thank me later 😀

NCL used to be that way in the suites too. Dining & drinks packages for FAS used to not have service charge, and at one point the grats were a perk.

I've been wondering this as well. On land I've been seeing minimums of 15 or 25, I'm hoping they are a little lower at sea. Also curious..does anyone know if there is a fee to get casino chips billed to your room/ credit card? Or should I just bring cash?

You are correct - it's 300 per passenger (my sailing is 16 nights).

so in order to qualify for the upgrade offer referenced earlier in the chain you can't use the 250 fas minutes at all? why would you be logging in if you weren't using the minutes?

was there an option to move from the free 250 minutes to the unlimited streaming package? recall how much that was?

Hey all. I'm on breakaway on a an upcoming TA. Since it's a long trip, internet is pricy. I'd like to use free wifi during the port intensive first part of the cruise, then upgrade in the second half. My question is-- will it be "pro- rated" if I wait and upgrade halfway through onboard? i.e. 400$ instead of 800$?

I've been laughing over here too. I think it's brilliant 🤣

This is a very good informative thread. I am a haven cruiser, but the step down from GV, which I enjoy but it's not GV.

not sure if they still have it but only haven used to have johnny blue and it was covered under p+

We did an AFT penthouse on the pearl for a Panama canal cruise. We loved it- balcony was big enough for 6 of us to enjoy the view of the canal with snacks that the butler provided. Overall, the inside of the room was spacious and laid out well. Enjoy!

Celebrity has really gone downhill. We were longtime NCL cruisers and switched to Celeb 5 or 6 years ago. The last couple years prices have really gotten out of hand and quality has sufferer. We found that we could sail the Haven for what we would pay for Aquaclass on Celebrity at this point.. so we are back on NCL! A huge gripe for me was the lack of entertainment on Celebrity.. although it does look like NCL has taken a few steps back in that regard as well. Back in the mid/late 2000s they had tons of amazing production shows, second city improv, and always had something to do! now I see only 2 theater shows for our upcoming 16 night cruise!

shouldn't cost anything... you can have as many lobster tails as you want included at the haven restaurant....

I may try this! I love steak & eggs, and a filet seems much nicer to go with it than the NY Strip.

I've "heard" somewhere on these forums that someone requested the filet (which I believe is available at dinner) and they were able to do it.

I'm assuming someone has actually tried this! LOL -- or something like a shrimp cocktail every day. I did read somewhere that someone was able to get them to accommodate giving him a lobster tail at lunch or breakfast.. so they may be available outside of dinner.

Anyone ever try asking the butler to bring you something like a lobster tail snack every day at 3pm? I would think it's not a crazy request since they have them already at the haven restaurant.

Anyone know where Concierge Suzana is nowadays? had a great experience with her years ago on the Pearl. Also, anyone know the current concierge on Breakaway/have any info on how good they are?

Can anyone confirm if haven bar (particularly on breakaway) has johnny blue? how about any champagne by the glass? any other beverage updates I'd want to know decide if p+ is worth it? I've read a bit on cutbacks elsewhere in the ship, but didn't know if there is different availability in haven bar.

Thanks - it is not in this case. The straight upgrade would be about 15k, the highest bid was 5k.

So I just put in a bid for an upgrade around 100 days from sailing -- and actually put the max bid. Anyone know if this could potentially cause an early upgrade acceptance? Anyone have experience with whether a max bid generally gets you the upgrade you want?

Anyone have a recommendation of hotel for the night before cruise? (preferably a hotel that has a shuttle to the cruise terminal). Seems like this terminal is more remote than the other one in PR.
