Regarding MDR meal requests - We are vegetarian (no fish) so the Haven menu is very limited but, on the Breakaway (March 2023), the Maitre d met with me in the morning (or once the night before) and we could order from the MDR menu to be served in Haven. That said the Haven food was so much better we often did A LOT of Haven sides as our meal.

I think the Epic is now sailing the Caribbean. We will be doing this cruise in March and are a bit overexcited. Hoping someone has dailies they are willing to post.

Last March, Breakaway Haven, I let the Butler and Room Steward know we were celebrating our anniversary and on which night (Butler and Steward letter). Both, at different times that day, decorated our room. Our room steward decorated our bed with two adorable towel animal swans, and paper decorations. Later that day our butler had a signs put up, decorated with rose petals, a "mood light'" thing, white table cloth set for the complimentary celebration cake (yes, it tasted terrible, but it was pretty), and she even gave a little "hand painted" looking picture as a card. We truly felt celebrated and spoiled.

Thank you everyone for the help. Looks like we will be sailing on the Epic!

Looking for advice/comparisons between these 3 ships. We have been on the Breakaway in the Haven and really liked it. I understand the Getaway is the sister ship. The reviews I've read about the Epic have been mixed.

New to all this. With Specialty dining do people usually add a tip for the chef and waiter?

So enjoying your posts! We are on the 3/26 sailing and following your posts is informative and so much fun! Thank you! We are in a Haven Spa Balcony room so looking forward to/hoping you review of the Thermal Spa. And thanks for including the Freestyle Daily pics. Have a great time!!

When does breakfast start? I'm an "over planner" trying to plan. Is there a place where I can find times when the Haven Restaurant is open?

100% agree! However, recommendations can led to combinations or offering you didn't know could be. Which is why I posted here.

Great to know that they are accommodating! Do you have any specific recommendations for something you really liked?

Thank you. I will make sure vegetarians are listed pre-boarding. As a vegetarian- is there anything you really liked? or recommend?

Thank you. This is a great start.

Traveling out of NOLA in March. A few in our group are vegetarian. Looking for suggestions including suggestions specialty dining nights. TIA.
