Encore Haven

[cuddles115]

I'm new to Encore and the  Haven.  We are 2 people.  Which is the best suite with a large balcony?  I see that the Haven is on deck 17 and 18.  Thanks in advance

The balconies on 17 are deeper/larger than the equivalent on deck 18...

 

 

 

...so pick either a Courtyard Penthouse or 2BR Villa on 17....unless you want a Deluxe Owner's $uite on deck 18.

If you aren’t set on being inside the Haven complex, I’d go for a Haven Aft Penthouse. They have HUGE balconies.

whichever you choose, dont  get a 
"privatesea" balcony cabin. you'll be most unhappy and dissapointed

Not all of the aft-facing suites have a huge balcony. I'm not sure if the OP was looking outside of the complex but if so, I can help with the info.

The PrivaSea balconies are only on the deck 13 Forward-facing suites on Encore. Even the other Forward-facing suites (balcony is on the side) have smallish balconies but deck 13 is the worst.

Thanks everyone for your input.  As we're newbies  to NCL, we thought to stay within the Haven complex.

This all depends on what YOUR definition of 'best' is.

If you plan on staying within the Haven my recommendation is to select a cabin on deck 17. All will be close to the pool/courtyard area, lounge/bar, observation lounge and concierge desk. A staircase or elevator will take you up one flight to the restaurant. If you choose a cabin on deck 18 you are likely to hear noise from above as they move and set up lounge chairs each day.  The Encore's Haven is one of the most beautiful in the fleet.

I sailed a 2 bedroom suite on Encore on deck 17 with the larger balcony. Loved it.  The Encore Haven is so amazing that you really cant go wrong with any suite inside the Haven complex.  Deck 17 has larger balconies, Haven pool, Haven bar, and Concierge desk.  Deck 18 has the incredible Haven restaurant, upper Haven pool area and just below the sundeck.

I really felt like I was cruising a luxury line it was so nice especially with the Horizon lounge just steps away.

NCL again figured they can charge more for same category on different floors so note that.

As others have mentioned the decks on 17 are larger. We had a 2 bedroom villa on deck 17.

It is a great location close to everything. We were only two people but it was great to have the

two bathrooms and we used the bed in the small bedroom to organize our things.

Does the Encore have the Observation Lounge like on the Bliss?

FDR definitely seized upon this.  When I originally booked the Encore, she was one year away from debuting.  The prices on deck 17 vs 18 were the same.  The Bliss was sailing and people soon figured out deck 17 had larger balconies and booked them.  A ding ding ding bell went off at NCL and suddenly they started charging another $50 for deck 17.  The rule of thumb used to be the higher the deck plan, the higher the price.  IMHO, when you pay such a premium price for the Haven, you should expect to be able to lay on a lounger on your balcony.
