So, I just want some OPINIONS (I know everyone will think differently, but I want pros and cons).....my husband and I are taking our son and his partner on their first trip to Europe this summer. We are booked on the Escape out of Rome on a 10-day port intensive itinerary. My husband and I have cruised Europe many times, but as mentioned, it's a first for the boys. Hubby and I selected a Haven Owner's Suite, and put the boys in a Club Suite.
Obviously, we will have Haven perks such as early boarding, priority disembarking in ports, Haven restaurant, etc., but they will not. So my question is.....will this be much of an issue on the cruise? I mean, I know we will have to choose for example to either board early without them or wait to board with them, etc.....but have any of your cruised in the Haven with travel partners who are NOT in the Haven, and if so, what was the experience?
And for the record, I'm debating about upgrading them to Haven so we'll all have the same perks....I'm not a cheap Momma, I'm paying for their cruise, flying them business class, and paying most of their ancillary expenses, but I'm looking at another several thousand dollars to move them to the Haven.
I knew all this going in, and thought I was good with it, but I just keep thinking I wish they were in the Haven. 🙂
Thanks for the feedback!
