It had too much seafood and white wine selections for my preference, but seafood lovers would really enjoy it! My DD loved it.

I hear you which is why I began looking elsewhere. I just booked a 7-day Royal Harmony OTS cruise in a Royal Star Class Suite (includes unlimited specialty dining, ultimate beverage package, WiFi and more) with a Genie (1:1 Butler) for half the price of a Haven suite.

We did one on the Royal this year too. It was not as good as the Princess one IMO, but it was a little cheaper. This was our Menu:; LOVED the dessert!!;

Well, for her, not for those of us in the Haven. 😆

From a recent cruise it shows 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Be aware that hours could change depending upon staffing and the child/staff ratio needs.

THAT 👆👆👆👆👆 Unfortunately only people booked in the Haven suite can enjoy the Haven perks. It makes sense. Otherwise everyone on the ship would be crammed in the Haven! 😂

Royal Caribbean and Princess offer them. The price ranges from around $80-$100. Usually they serve a multiple course meal with wine pairings. One of the chefs describes and presents the food. Great food and wine but a lot of it! On Princess they also give you a signed cookbook. Pretty cool. A few Photos from the Grand Princess Chef’s dinner April ‘22.;

Only the passengers booked in the Haven can enjoy the Haven. Your husband would not be able to enjoy the bar, restaurant, lounge, pool or other Haven amenities. You will be able to let them into your suite, but I am not sure if they will give you additional Haven access keys. Perhaps someone else can address that one.

Only the DOS and OS get the bottles of liquor on NCL. It is not like Princess where you get the free mini bar set up in suites.

I received that PDF because we are going to be cruising in the DOS on the Sky. Your best bet, IMO, is the email or call the land based concierge and ask what specific perks your suite category receives. That way you will know what to expect. I hope you have a great cruise. 😎🥂🚢

That PDF is only for the category of suites listed, which includes the DOS on NON Haven ships. It is NOT for the Haven suites. Example: When we are in the Sky DOS I expect to have the sparkling waters and sodas and bottles of wine (in our case) included free. On the Breakaway Haven 2bd Suite I do NOT expect to have any of that included. Hope this helps. I know it is confusing, but not unlike Royal Star Class VS Sky Class.

I do know that the 2bd Haven suite does not include the sparking water. That is an added cost. The butler will put complimentary pitchers of still water or ice tea in the refrigerator for you if you ask, but not sparkling water. You should ask the butler to remove everything from the refrigerator if you don’t want to be charged for any used items. We always get the Premium Beverage Package to make sure we don’t have to worry about any of the drinks we order.

These are the types of suites on the Sun that should receive suite amenities. The aft Penthouse Suites should receive suite amenities. Is that the cabin you were in? If so, next time try reaching out to the concierge desk (email and phone number is on that pdf) to make sure you are on their radar!

Also, I have been emailing the concierge with our requests and dining reservations and have had very positive correspondence regarding our requests.

Yes. It was just sent to my by the NCL concierge for our upcoming cruises. One is on the Sky (we are in the OS) and one on the BA in the Haven. What was the type of suite you were in, i.e. SA, SB…?

The amenities depend on the type of suite you have. This pdf may help you: Welcome Aboard Suite+.pdf

California wines have definitely increased in price over the past few months. The speculation is that prices will continue to increase. The water shortage, gas/diesel shortage, fertilizer shortage etc… will impact costs moving forward. https://patch.com/california/los-angeles/15-more-meat-5-1-more-alcohol-ca-prices-skyrocket-again

The FCC we used to book this cruise is now back in our account BUT it states that we have to use it by December of this year! I thought we had until June 2023 to use it?! Is anyone else seeing the same thing? Typo on their end?

Don't fall for it! We are on that cruise and got the email telling us about the itinerary changes!

13914 is closer to the Haven elevators if that makes a difference to you. I always like Starboard but it depends upon your itinerary I suppose. https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/deckbydeck.php?ship=Norwegian-Prima&deck=13

We have still not received a cancellation email, nor has my TA. When will they remove this cruise from my NCL online Planner?

We received the same email for the July 17th BA sailing as well. When do you (or anyone) suppose they will change the online Summary and offer new excursions?

Thank you for this BA Haven review. We are on her in 40 days and are also staying in the 2bd. We will be in 16714. Can't wait!

I totally understand. Luckily we did not book flights. I am looking into other lines for Greek Isles as well. The Haven prices have skyrocketed!

Yes! Lift and Shift to the same category! Unfortunately, we were in the Haven 2bd suite. I am not interested in any of the other current sailings. Perhaps in a year or 2.
