Review summary

Nice experience for a short cruise, Staff was great!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Check in process was slow..Even with Haven priority, we showed up at designated time and still had to wait for about an hour. Then once released to board our key cards rejected at security so we had to return and go back through the process. Staff was very courteous though!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Absolutely amazing staff.. shout out to our room steward, butler and the Haven bar staff and concierge!!!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was clean as always. Pool deck was packed as it typically is on Breakaway + class ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was amazing except for being located under pool deck. Was loud early in the morning putting chairs out, etc. we new that was a risk though.

Ship tip

The spa is disappointing on the Joy if you plan to use it. It is not the same as the other Breakaway class ships.

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

4 out of 5
We went for Horseshoe Bay the first day and was super nice. The second day we went into town - Hamilton for day.

New York, New York

Glad you had a great trip. The Haven is wonderful.

So was it worth it the extra cost (double?) for the Haven?
