Congratulations! Only bad thing is after you go Haven, you will have a hard time cruising any other way!
True and that is what my Hubby said too. [emoji13]

We leave in September 2017 on Escape.
We were originally booked in BB with food &a drink package and $50 OBC. We got the email for bidding and bid on each available haven unit. We decided to increase the odds by bidding in the good range which ended up being $1200 X two (hubby and I).
We fell in love with the Haven based on many of the CC reviews and other sources, we wanted it!!
I did some additional research after placing our bids and we decided to book the Haven Spa Suite directly instead of hoping our bid wins. I looked at the whole "deal" and for me it was worth it.
Full Haven access and spa access.
$325 OBC
250 mins of free WiFi
$50 shore excursion
Food and drink package
When I looked at the total package and the cost of just buying the Haven and then compared it to my bid (hoping I would win) booking the Haven straight out made sense. The additional perks were ones that I wouldn't get from bidding.
Just thought I would share my experience.

I thought because the spa suite has access to the spa that it's price would be similar but it's about $300 cheaper.
Why? What am I missing ??

I followed one of the links and saw that you can "gift" the wifi package of 250 minutes so it seems they do apply a dollar value.

Hello All
Where can I find out the dollar value for the 250 minutes of WiFi?

Hello All- which do you prefer? Any concern about being forward facing and wind? I know everyone has their own preferences I'm just looking for perspective on those that have been there. TIA

We are on the August 26th Escape and originally paid $2780 (kids sail free) for a mid ship balcony and received the below offers with minimum and maximum bids. We submitted a bid for all of the below except the mini-suite as it does not seem to be much of an upgrade.
H2 $1500-$3000
H3 $1500-$3000
H4 $1000-$2750
H6 $750- $2500
H7 $400- $2000
Mini-suite $25-$400
We sail 9/23 on the Escape.
and just got bid email. We have the same bid offerings as you. Sent from my iPhone using Forums

I just found this and am considering for Sept cruise.

I am confused. I thought the bid emails come close to when you are leaving on the cruise. It seems that some are getting 90 days in advance (see multiple people commenting on the upgrade email for Sept cruise).
Thanks in advance for your insight.

We're experienced cruisers, but this is our first time on NCL. We just got an upgrade email for our Sept sailing. They allowed us to bid on everything above what we booked, up to the giant 3 bedroom suite in The Haven. When we look online, it says The Haven is sold out. We are past the payment date, so why would they let us bid on sold out cabins? Appreciate any info you can share. Thanks!
Hello, which cruise in sept ( date and ship name ) please. I am also on September and haven't seen an email yet.

Hi
It is just my hubby and I going and I don't want or need anything large, what is the smallest haven unit ? Looks like it might be the penthouse units?
TIA

I can see the confusion over my post. Yes, I have a foggy recollection of the port and I do believe it is Nassau. My husband is a cop so I am not concerned with guns necessarily but am a little uneasy seeing larger automated weapons openly displayed. Really not a big deal it was just surprising. I do appreciate security for sure which is why I married a cop [emoji23]

I have a terrible memory and as result I cannot remember which port it was, while on the Sky, where we had to walk through a large gated area with armed military/police. I think it was Nassau but not sure. You walk through a large gated area to access shuttles and buses.
Any guesses ?

You need better clothes. Well, clothes more suited to cruising.
I wear a bathing suit with no pockets and a beach coverup that either doesn't have pockets or has shallow pockets not safe for carrying the card, which is why I originally asked. Additionally at night I wear a dress and I don't own any dresses with pockets...
Which is why I asked the question and have so generously received so many suggestions.
To each his own ultimately.
Happy cruising [emoji924]

Love the keychain, thanks for sharing. I've only been on one cruise before and I brought my elderly mom, she always had a purse. This time DH and I are going and I was looking for another option. I don't remember there being a hole in the key card on my NCL cruise. I like this idea though. Thanks so much.

Ahhh pockets... brilliant. My cruise clothes don't have pockets so another option would be great. Thanks all.

This is a silly question I think. How do you carry around your onboard cruise card? Are people using a lanyard?

Oh my gosh I am a goof, I completely misunderstood the whole message. I understand now. Thanks everyone.

Oh I didn't know that. I will book my three dinners in advance but then run (at boarding) to get the 2/3 off other nights? Do they have a price breakdown for what it normally costs ? I can try and look it up somewhere.

We just booked it for the last week in September. I am hoping that the timing is good with kids back to school. Got the drinks and dining package. How many meals does the dining include? Every night we get the speciality dining ? Should we make reservations in advance?

Hey! I am going to be in the Bahamas next week. I want to get the day pass. Should I buy it in advance? From whom? Or should I wing it and hope they are not sold out when I get there?

Can you use OBC to pay for excursions before the cruise?

Leaving in Sept on the Escape and really want to try the Rebel Yell ride to Jost Van Dyke. I would like to use by OBC to pay for it and book it soon so it doesn't sell out. Is that possible ? Have you done it?
