Review summary

I love the Haven. Love being spoiled. This ship didn’t come close to having a REAL Haven. I was shocked to see the sun deck empty. But why sit there when you couldn’t eat or drink on the Haven sun deck. No waitstaff at all on the sun deck. Money not well spent for a Haven room.

Not the Have I’m used to. No Haven Lounge or dining. Utilized other restaurant areas that were otherwise closed for breakfast and lunch. No indoor Haven lounge or pool bar service. No outside Haven bar or food service. Not sure why I even paid for a Haven room. I got zero percs other than a nicer room. Extremely disappointed in this ships Haven and would never recommend it. When I complained I received $300 towards my next cruise. I spent over $10 grand to book one room and it was not money well spent. I’ve stayed in the Haven a few times and never felt like I wasted my money. This time it was a waste. Smaller ship did not mean better Haven service.

Ship tip

Stay in a balcony room. Save your money and do not bother with The Haven. It does not really exist on The Jade.

Quick but the parking garage across the street did not have a working elevator. Beware!
