Loved this itinerary with changing back to US time gradually and going to the Caribbean before Port Canaveral. Will try to do any Haven on NCL we can!!

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Private dining in the Haven is so personal, tasty and quiet. Good selection on the menu, but for a cruise of almost 2 weeks, the menu selections should vary more.

Service and Staff

Not sure why the butler is necessary, but we did enjoy the offer of any service we wanted + the daily canapes. Concierge desk helped with meal and excursion reservations. Excellent room steward

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The round bed design concerned us, but when we found out it was 7' in diameter, we had no problems with it being too small or awkward. Loved the extra room over a balcony-sized room. The tub was almost dangerous in design for the way you get in even though there was a grab bar, it was awkward - but again tall enough for very tall people.

Ship tip

Try The Haven to treat yourself!

Poor visibility on a foggy, rainy day limited what we could see & do.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
Was surprised how clean and attractive this port was -- found it to be the most attractive I've visited in the Caribbean

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
Haven guests were taken by private elevator to by-pass crowds, and the luggage for the Haven was the first we saw on the dock.
