Review summary

This was the vacation of a lifetime for all of us. We did shore excursions through a private tour company at each port (Shorebee) and arrived each night to outstanding service & accommodations.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were Haven customers so the priority process made this exceptionally easy especially with 3 teenagers.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We loved the free dining style and wish we had more nights to try more of the specialty restaurants. The Haven dining experience is just top notch.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
All of us were busy with activities the entire cruise, especially the teenagers. Plenty to do for everyone.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were exceptional.. We saw Priscilla Queen of the Desert and the Circ. shows!

Children's Programs

The kids signed up for the Teen area but we never had time to attend the events because there was so much to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The Haven staff is amazing and worth every penny spent for these accommodations. This vacation was a true vacation and we were well taken care of.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was immaculate and we witnessed the hardworking staff keeping the ship in tip top shape.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was amazing, all 5 of us had ample room and were extremely comfortable. I cannot believe a cruise ship could have so much living space for a family. We actually enjoyed spending time relaxing in our cabin. Our room was always clean & orderly, every thing was maintained with perfection.

Hi do you remember if you balcony was facing land during the Ports? Also Was there room for two to sleep in the second bedroom. My parents are coming on the trip with us and I want to make sure there comfortable in that room. They are average or below average height and weight. I've been told the couch converts to a double in that room.
