My partner and I are doing our very first cruise on the BA Haven Aft Balconies in November (Thanksgiving week) to Bahamas. So this live TR is helping a lot and getting me super excited. Even if it isn't the same itinerary it's still enjoyable seeing the ship and rooms etc. I have subscribed to this TR and will be following along! Thanks!

Anxious to see how you like BA....so far we have only done Jewel class ships ...really not fond of crowds :o

 

 

This is our 4th time on BA and as for crowds we tend to stay in the haven on this ship as it can get crowded in the public spaces, which we are also not a fan of.

I'll be following along also. So enjoyed your Gem trip. We were on the BA in June and will also be on her next June, but not in the Haven (sigh). Took your advice and plan on going to the Holland House in November. Looked great from your pictures. By the way, we are from south jersey also. Have a wonderful trip-will be living vicariously for the next week.:)

Here is what is on the tv lineup and the one sports channel seems like before international. But I do know the bars show some sports that are nationally televised but not sure if a particular game would be on.

Was the Pear Pleasure on one of the menus or just one you remembered from last time?

 

We just got off the ship too- doing a quick tour to see some group spaces. I gave to say, I was really disappointed in the buffet. Much more limited selection and not as good as last year (and it was just good last year, not great). We tried O'Sheehans since the buffet was a bust and the chicken pot pie puff topper was actually cold and my husbands fish & chips and out literally 10+ minutes after my pot pie.

 

I'll be following closely to see what you think of the non-Haven food. We are set to sail Novemver again and I am second-guessing now after that food experience.

Hi conandrob, we had somewhat similar food quality on the last BA, so we have retreated to the haven for breakfast and lunch when we eat it, and with the udp we are inbtge specialty's for the week.

 

I will give impression from each meal and when we do eat in the non-haven spot I will note it as well.

 

I know food is subjective so I hope things improve and you enjoy it next time.

Another slight dislike is the promenade is mostly blocked. Most newer ships we have found have this setup for more room inside I guess or more staterooms:

Yes, I didn't like that about the promenade either. I miss walking all the way around.

 

I want to know all about the Haven. I went on the BA in 2013 but not on the Haven and I felt the BA was very crowded. I was told that the Haven is a totally different experience. So I eagerly await more reporting.

You will get a good look tomorrow as to crowds in the haven and pool area as well as the restaurant and sun lounging areas, as I will try to give as many pics and impressions as possible:
