Review summary

I highly recommend the Haven. Yes, it's expensive but you can find that the price varies dramatically depending on the ship, season, itinerary, etc. We booked another upcoming trip in the Haven and it's going to be half what we just paid. The Haven is very much worth it. At a minimum, I'd recommend trying to get in to Vibe and/or Thermal Spa.

Embarkation

SO easy with being a Haven guest!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We mostly ate in the Haven and specialty dining but did visit the buffet a couple times. All were excellent!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
So many things to do. We didn't get a chance to do them all! We did love the Haven area, Thermal Spa, and Vibe pool deck.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We only saw Rock of Ages but thought it was excellent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was great. Especially in the Haven.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
For just being refurbished, I noticed a decent amount of wear. That surprised me. Vibe area especially. However, it was overall in very good condition and beautiful.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were in a Haven spa suite. Cabin 14136. It was spacious and beautiful. So much storage space. Would absolutely stay in it again.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Miami isn't our favorite city but the terminal is nice and we stayed at a nice hotel with beautiful pool area (Pullman Miami Airport).

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
We visited the Bacardi factory. Didn't care for that excursion. Wish we would have walked around Old San Juan instead.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Beautiful port and area. We went to Megan's Bay and did the paradise point skyride.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
The best port!! So incredibly beautiful. We hired a private, air conditioned, cab for 2.5 hours for $110. Well worth it. We got to drive all over the island. Visited Cane Garden Bay and a Rum distillery plus another bar at the top of a mountain. Was such a great time!

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

Due to a tropical storm approaching, the captain gave us an additional sea day vs visiting Nassau.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
So quick and easy. We were off the ship and in an uber in 10 minutes.

JanetAndLarry it was our honeymoon so we went all out lol. Once you get in to the Haven, tell concierge immediately that you want Vibe tickets if you want them. It shouldnt be an issue to get them. I do love Vibe but enjoyed it more when we didnt have the Haven. I'm not sure I'd do it again because we enjoyed the Haven very much & didnt have a ton of time to hang in Vibe. I'd do one or the other going forward probably. Vibe doubled in cost since the last time we went too so theres that... lol

Love you pictures! We will be in the Haven Spa Suite in 31 days on the Breakaway. This will be our 2nd time in the Haven and we love it. We have also been in the Vibe on the Escape last year. Is it worth the money to get into the Vibe when you have access to the Haven Sun deck? I was told that they hold tickets for the Vibe for Haven guests

We love the Haven. That's the only way we go on NCL. It's such an experience....80 more days till we set sail on the Breakaway and can't wait!
