Review summary

I booked my once in a lifetime 50th birthday cruise . I wanted the best...the Haven . There wasn't enough room for the 6 of us so the agent told me I could a second room but there wasn't a second Haven room . He said that my kids could stay nearby and join us for all the Ammenities of the Haven . I book one year in advance . When we arrived this was not the case . I asked them to pull the audio of our phone call . I knew the name of my agent ( who of course no longer works for NCL). Our FAMILY vacation on board ship was terrible . Ncl policies are terrible . I contacted customer service and explained how horrified I was that my trip of a lifetime was ruined . I was offered a welcome gift on my next cruise . Are you kidding ??? I spent $30,000 . I didn't take a last minute "we can't fill the ship rate " . This is how you treat your HAVEN# customers ?? I would have willingly paid to keep my family together . I sobbed for 2 days on my Birthday cruise . I read the fine print ! Be careful cruisers ! Know what you are buying . Know the added costs . If it sounds too good to be true , it usually is . Looking for an honest cruise line . Or at least one that will accept responsibility for this egregious oversight . Thanks for nothing customer service !!!! Your response was insulting .

Did you try just letting them in and taking them in with you. Also, you can pay to have them dine in the Haven with you

But why didn’t you just eat with them in the regular restaurant not the haven

When did you sail? What kind of travel agent advised you on this (private or NCL)?

That is terrible.

I asked NCL that question and they gave me the pricing to do that. But, they did tell me that if I was in the Haven, they could not use the pool or amenities.
