If I'm in Haven and do self walk off, would I make a 12 noon flight out of Newark?

What do you get now?

Upgrading the beverage package for $29/pp/day includes Starbucks and water.

Look in the drawer the hair dryer is in , in the bathroom. Outlet is in the drawer. At least in H6. Wife only found it halfway through and had been drying hair at the coffee station.

Thanks Bird, very helpful pictures. I recognize that lower waiting area from a long ago trip on Escape. Obviously never seen the upstairs Haven area.

Thanks all for the helpful info!

Have an upcoming cruise out of Miami on Prima and am fortunate to be in Haven. I'm wondering how the Haven check-in is, particularly baggage drop off. I know the Miami porters are aggressive about grabbing bags. Since I don't have a color printer, I'd like to have NCL put on my luggage tags. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Likely a result of the wind. If sailing into the wind, smoke from the stack is blown aft by real wind and apparent wind from ship speed. If sailing with the wind, smoke from the stack is blown forward by real wind and canceled out by apparent wind from ship forward motion to allow particles to fall on the decks.

Thanks all. Once I logged out and then back in, the little boxes appeared and I was able to upgrade just one.

On upcoming cruise, my wife and I have FAS. My wife would like to upgrade to the unlimited internet but I don't need that. On the NCL site it only allows for us to both upgrade. Is there a way to just upgrade her? Thanks

Good to know on the Blanton's. Trying to decide on the FAS+ upgrade.

No Blanton's or EH Taylor?

More importantly, when we were in specialty venues and wanted 1 glass of nice wine each, they brought a whole bottle and left it nearby for refills. With any wine on the ship. Sometimes took a little while for the bottle to arrive though.

Curious to know, but what do you actually do in the thermal spa, day after day. (Not being snarky, just curious)

Thanks for all the hard work posting (and sampling all those libations as well as trying all that food). Strong work!

Yes. On Viva they had a small station set up just behind the stairs adjacent to wall separating Haven from Vibe.

Sorry to hear of your mishap but things seem to be going well for you. I would keep and use the cane whether you think you need it or not. The advantage is that you are broadcasting a message to all around you that you have a problem. Hopefully you won't be bumped or jostled in crowds and people will make space for you.

Glad to see you're aboard! And at the bar. I'm a little worried for you though as the bar behind your drink seems a little depleted. I mean that Maker's Mark bottle looks rather lonely! Hopefully they will be restocking today. If you get a chance could you post a pic of the Haven bar menu? Also confirm that they do have Blanton's in the Haven. Thanks and have a great time.

Both of you have safe flights and a great cruise! Eagerly awaiting your reports.

I also have sailed in MSC Yacht Club and also NCL Haven. There are pros and cons to each. MSC YC Pros: More staff, more service. Better lounge with light music at night Mini bar stocked and included Butler included in gratuities, wifi & thermal included. Food menus change daily Fares generally less MSC YC Cons: Slower service for meals (European thing) Standard included wines with meals pretty basic, just up from grocery store types Not much variety in stocked whiskies and liquors NCL Haven Pros: Better entertainment options on ship Fast food service better wine and whiskey selection NCL Haven Cons: Mini bar in room not included nor is Butler service to bring a drink to the room. I really don't understand why NCL can't put some beer and soft drinks in your Haven suite at the price you're paying. Also I can confirm that prices do drop. But you can't count on that. We were booked on MSC YC Rome to Dubai through Suez last Nov. After the fighting broke out, ports of Egypt and Jordan got canceled. MSC was nice to refund our cruise fare. I found 1 Haven cabin open on Viva, Rome to Lisbon, 10 day. 2 bdr Haven suite for just under 6k. We enjoyed that cruise so much that we are now on 11 day cruise in April on Prima. And yes the fares did drop after the 120 day mark but cabins were then booked fairly quickly and cruise is now sold out in Haven. I do view the Viva fare as an anomaly and don't think I'll ever get that kind of deal again.

If anyone is curious, here are some of the choices. Bourbon 1792 Small Batch Buffalo Trace Bulleit Jack Black Gentleman Jack Wild Turkey 101 Gin Beefeaters Bombay London dry Bombay Sapphire

Leonardo da Vinci Sangiovese Duckhorn Cabernet Sav

Villefranche does have port based tenders which were large and frequent.

We were on a 10 night Rome to Lisbon on Viva. No theme nights that I recall.

I would assume so.
