My first Haven cruise was on the Breakaway and it was wonderful. We loved the private restaurant, bar and lounge. We had priority boarding and disembarkation, where we entered through a separate entrance right into ticketing, then waited in a lounge with coffee and snacks until the doors officially opened. The Haven concierge got us into the shows before the doors opened for everyone else, and also we were first off the ship for shore excursions. We are booked in the Haven on the Pearl for next September (2024). Based on comments that say the suites are basically the same, and before I look to downgrade to a suite, 1) Do Haven guests get the same VIP treatment on the Pearl, and 2) Do the suite guests get the same priority boarding experience and early access to seating at the shows? The Haven is significantly more expensive and not having the restaurant and lounge is disappointing. Also, on the Breakaway, we had a king-size bed in the Courtyard Penthouse, but on the Pearl it is a queen-sized bed.
