We ate on Haven, Moderno and Teppanyaki. All persons from Hostesses, Matre’ des, and servers were top notch.

The Haven Restaurant

The only thing that I would change was the tweeting noise in our bedroom- 11908.

Cabin / Stateroom

Wonderful. Just what I said above about the tweeting noise. Balcony was wonderful.

Look around first and see where everything is. Then look at the schedules.

Had a great visit.

Cozumel, Mexico

Excursion was across from Cozumel and it was rough seas. Many of us got sick. Take ginger chews. Excursion was great once felt better.

Disembarkation

We did the excursion tour in New Orleans and bags and buses were waiting on us. Took only 5-10 minutes to get through.

Thanks for your review. We loved our cruise on the Norwegian Breakaway in October. Really enjoyed the Haven perks as you did.
