Review summary

Overall very enjoyable with some areas needing attention as mentioned. First time in Haven, we received an upgrade but not sure we would pay full price for the privilege.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Priority due to Haven,nhkwever Covid testing was tedious.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate in Cagneys and Bayamo both were excellent however when did the upcharge for lobster start in specialty restaurants?

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We never used these facilities.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Scaled back entertainment with C-B rated performers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Plenty of staff available with ship at only 40% capacity.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We’ve sailed several times on this ship. We love it.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
This was a front facing haven suite, cabin itself was roomy and plush, however location was horrible with front facing view of deck rail and crew smoking area. Balcony was very very small as well. Lots of noise from front thrusters .

Ship tip

If you are sailing in regular cabin and want a quiet adult sun experience, book the Vibe Club! Private with exceptional service!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
We live near here so no excursions.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Taino Bay is a new area, very clean and nice. Not all areas were open though.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

3 out of 5
Same as usual, crowded, poverty areas everywhere, Meghans Bay is overrated and not as beautiful as one was.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
We love Tortola, clean beautiful and friendly people!

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

1 out of 5
It was to choppy to use tender so couldn’t visit. Very disappointing!

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
We had Haven priority tags on our luggage and disembarked 1st off ship. One of our bags was lost and no one there to assist. Finally found over an hour later by walking up and down all the luggage tables till we found it!

The steak and lobster in the Haven Restaurant was so good. No matter what my husband ordered he got one or two lobster tails on the side.
