Review summary

We knew we loved NCL. We knew we loved the Haven. We knew we loved the Breakaway. We didn't know how much Covid would change it. Covid didn't change any of it. It was the best cruise we have ever taken. My husband said it was the best birthday he has ever celebrated.

NCL did a great job with the Covid testing process. It was so easy and efficient.

Didn't really use them.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Covid has hit the entertainment crew pretty hard.

Children's Programs

They didn't have it open to us because of Covid. We brought games and puzzles to play with the kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was so nice and happy to be back at work.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Great ship, layout makes sense and all very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I'm not sure how I will every go back to not having a separate living room on a ship. It made the cruise more relaxing.

Ship tip

Book the Haven, it IS worth it.

It’s hard to comment when “it’s the best cruise” is part of your overview. Appreciate your feedback and glad it was so good.
