Have been in the Haven twice on Norwegian Jewel. Looking forward to trying the deluxe owners suite on Escape May 19 to Bermuda. Haven has always been great and worth the extra cost.

Yes I agree. I was in a Spa Haven last time on Escape, this time have the aft facing Haven suite with double balcony. Can't wait, not just about the room but the service was amazing. Our escort to take us to shows & to disembark at each port, the butler, etc. I never want to do anything less than Haven again!

I thought about booking the Haven for my husband and I on our next cruise. Then thought again. We are always very pleased with our balcony, and the Haven would be a treat and not something we’d do every time. So I’m afraid going back to a balcony would then be disappointing. I’d rather cruise every year in a balcony than every 3 years in the Haven. 🤷‍♀️ maybe someday 😄

So true!!! Was in an aft facing penthouse w huge balcony on the escape.....and just did the Getaway in a regular balcony.....very underwhelming.
