Haven pool, small & COLD! Footloose show - excellent. Less entertainment than most ships we've been on.

Our Haven experience on the Joy was great, beautiful forward Horizon lounge with massive windows, fantastic Haven DR service with virtually every meal served window side, attentive and kind butler. Only the Encore was superior. Highly recommend both the Joy and Encore.
