If you have any questions, ask away. Once I figure out the internet access situation I will be back. 😉 Edited October 15, 2022 by mearsfansinboise Fixed spacing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mearsfansinboise Posted October 15, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted October 15, 2022 American Diner - free for Haven guests ‘til 3pm. The nachos (with sour cream and guacamole) were good. The milkshake (not complementary) was way too sweet - and warm. 👎 The French dip was salllllty but the fries were 🔥 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mearsfansinboise Posted October 15, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Our butler is Rogi - he came by and introduced himself and I gave him our letter (tip from @Sthrngary) with $60 in it. He said he’d read it later; no problem, I know he’s busy getting everyone settled. However, my husband is battling stage IV cancer and one of the letter items was extra blankets because he gets really cold. Those were delivered with a quickness! So far, so good … 😊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Greenpea2 Posted October 15, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Loved the Bliss Haven! That was the last cruise I took--just before Covid. You will have a wonderful time! Envious.

Can you ask him if he’ll be on board next April? It’s a ways away, but I’m hoping to have him as out butler again next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstbadger Posted October 16, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Will be in Haven for first time in a few months. What are some recommendations for requests? Thanks. Interesting idea in letter and tip... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted October 16, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hope you are having a great cruise! We loved our September cruise in the Bliss Haven. Check out the small desserts in the Haven's Horizon lounge. We always took a couple back to the room for a late night snack☺️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchick Posted October 16, 2022 #17 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I will be boarding October 30th….can you let us know what shows might be available and if there is any crowding in the venues? I realize that Haven guests get priority but I am assuming that capacity is nearing normal numbers and am curious if the venues will feel full during shows, etc. Hope you have a wonderful time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first day of Coke on this ship. However, it sounds like they still have some remaining Pepsi products that they’re still using/getting rid of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have time to look for it right this second (and I try to preserve my minutes), but find the thread of @Sthrngary where he’s got Haven secrets – there is a wealth of information there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mearsfansinboise Posted October 16, 2022 Author #23 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Dinner last night was in the Haven restaurant. We got there at 6:30 and it was packed so we had to sit outside. It was just us outside and we were completely forgotten. Service was super super super slow …. 😐 However, that slow roasted pork belly appetizer was delicious!
