Review summary

I can't recommend enough choosing NCL's Haven experience! As a first time cruise, the Haven exceeded all expectations. Having the courtyard and sundeck on the Jewel made it feel like we were at a spacious resort with so much space to spread out and relax.

The daily food spreads in the Haven were great (breakfast spread, afternoon snacks). Daily breakfast at Moderno and lunch at Cagney's was great each trip. Dinner at the specialty restaurants were all exceptional.

Cabin / Stateroom

This fit 5 adults perfectly. Just right for space to spreadout in the cabin as well as being right off the Haven courtyard and deck was great to have space to spread out.
