We were in the Haven so private waiting area

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Haven Restaurant was excellent. Menu in Le Bistro changed and not as good as in the past. Cagneys was just OK.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was an HJ Haven cabin on Deck 14. Didn't mind that we had to take the elevator to the Haven proper. Plenty of space and very comfortable bed

Ship tip

Forward elevators are more crowded than rear elevators because of theater and dining.

Ardor you are right. They have 4 cruises in Jan 24 overlapping. Not right.

ardbr you’re right, I also saw the other review and people were confused about how the reviewer could have said they sailed out of Miami when it should have been NYC, and asked if they had maybe reviewed the wrong ship. That would be some coincidence if they were both in the same cabin number on different ships though!

Did you with cruise4ever70? They were on the same ship, same room. But they went as a single/friends and you went as a couple. You gave a nice review and they destroyed NCL. Also they went through MIA and you NYC. I understand two people being on the same cruise together and having different opinions, but something just doesn’t sit right.
