Review summary

We’ve been on cruises before, but staying in The Haven far exceeded any other cruise. Yes, it is a bit more expensive, but it makes for an exceptional relaxed vacation. Having two bedrooms was also a plus and gave each of us our privacy. The staff is also amazing. I don’t think they know the word “no” and they are always happy and helpful. Some of them even called us by name!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

So very fast due to being in The Haven. Upon stepping off the shuttle bus, we were privately escorted past everyone else to a private checkin area with food and beverages. When finished, we had another private escort past more lines of people directly onboard and to our cabin

Great to know. We are going to Bermuda out of NYC in a Haven Suite. Super excited. One thing I heard about Haven guests is that you are given front row seats to shows, is this true?
