Review summary

HAVEN is the real deal. Worth every penny of the upgrade. The cruise was more than we expected and the scenery was unbelievably beautiful. The food and beverages were amazing. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend this cruise and ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We did 5 specialty meals. We did not eat the buffet at all. The Food Truck area was great but very crowded due to inclement weather.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
SPA - massages were top notch.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed several shows and they were great, the venues were a little small for the crowds though.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was all amazing. Our butler Walter was five-star, Maria the bartender in Haven was exceptional, all the Haven dining staff were very professional, our steward was top notch and the concierge service, specifically Stefan was great.
