Review summary

Now that I'm spoiled by the Haven Suite that's the only way I would do another Norwegian cruise. We were insulated from the rest of the ship and that made for a very relaxing cruise. I have booked another cruise with Norwegian (because of Haven)

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Ship experiences

Only used pool in haven. Weather was not great.

Entertainment

Burn the Floor and Million Dollar Quartet were some of the best shows we have seen on a cruise ship.

Service and Staff

Top shelf service in Haven.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Areas we visited on ship appeared tone very clean and we'll maintained. Casino surrounded the atrium which was odd. Jogging track seemed like an afterthought on deck 16 with the sun deck and other outdoor activities surrounding it.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was a bit smaller than suites on Holland and Carnival. Cabin steward did a great job keeping room clean. Wish it would have had a little more closet space.

Ship tip

I would only book a Haven Suite on NCL. Its expensive but the service, lounge and restaurant in the Haven was wonderful. It was like I were in your own little world. The public areas of the ship were always very crowded. Most people did not dress up at night. I would prefer Carnival over Norwegian because of $$$. The Haven is the way to go on NCL

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Embarkation

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Took a shuttle to Mahahula. Much more relaxing than Costa Maya. Had a $20. Full body massage on the beach. Wonderful. Cute town with lots of inexpensive bars and restaurants. Next time I'm in Costa Maya I will definitely visit this beach front town.

Harvest Caye, Belize
