Wife and I took our oldest and his girlfriend (both 20) on a cruise last year and we told them we had balcony and they got inside cabins, should have seen there faces when we boarded with the escort and brought to the Haven on the Breakaway.

Not to mention, I would be pissed if i was out by the pool and those who are not supposed to be at the YC pool are taking up seats. Again, if you want the extra level of service and amenities, pay for it just like the rest of us.

Yes, Your drink package has already included the gratuity, anything extra you choose to give to the bartenders is up to you.

I am cruising the YC for first time on the Seaside. We are on deck 16 and was wondering if the elevator on that deck is key card access for YC only? Just curiouse, as we sail the Haven alot and we never have an issue with Non Haven inside the complex

I will say Shorts, Tee shirt or Polo short is fine for the Haven restaurnant , but Went to have breakfast before a port day so was in board shorts and a tank top, was turned away. not a big deal but now i know.

I just took a picture of my lattitudes account showing my number and current level

We were on the Joy in April for the Easter Sunday cruise, there were decorations everywhere!!!!! We also had a door magnet on our door and never had anyone say anything. Decorate away, if asked ot take them down, just take them down. And as far as forcing someone to look at something on my door every time you pass? You must be the person that complains about everything.

So we booked 19019 for September 28th 2024 ( yes a long ways out, good thing we have a Haven booked for January). I see the Yacht club includes a mini bar? Wife and I are mainly beer drinkers so would they stock with say Michelobe Ultra daily? Excited to try out the yacht club!

I must admit, the only reason we are trying the YC is Price. We love NCL, Love the Haven, but with Haven prices getting the way they are we are going to give YC a shot and believe we will love it! Like you said, $3300 for YC interior is less then NCL Balcony with the FAS perks. We have a Haven 2 bedroom in January on the Escape and now booked the YC on the seascape for next September. Going to try and see if we can sneak another cruise in between those two.

Upgrading to the Haven is almost impossible lately. We are on the Escape January 6th 2024 and there are only 13 Haven suites left. We have a 2 bedroom Haven Suite, becasue we are traveling with anouther couple and was the most affordable way to all stay in te Haven

So wife and I who have been cruising in nothing but the Haven for the past few years have just booked our first MSC Yacht club on the Seascape. We love the Haven, but pricing has gotten a little crazy. Looked at both for same time of year and cheapest Haven was over $3k more for 7 day cruise. Now granted we are doing an inside Yacht clube suite for our first go around, but for $3300 to get a "Haven like" experience I am gonna give it a shot. Would love to here feedback on those who have tried the yacht club, and how did it compare.

So, Wife and I have sailed Carnival, RCCL, Princess, and have been exclusive to NCL Haven for the past few years. We love the Haven but their prices have gotten a little out of control. So we are going on the Seascape staying in the Yacht Club. We have already Tier Matched with MSC so we are going in as Silver so we got a 10% off the cruise off the bat (NCL could learn from MSC on this). We decided to book the inside Yacht Club mainly because the price was fantastic!!! We spend all our time out of the Cabin so we really wont miss the Balcony. With that being said I do have a few Questions: 1: Sailing in the yacht club you get double reward points? 2: I see the Yacht club pool is much nicer and bigger then most Haven Pools, Does it really get crowded up there? 3: Anyone Cruise Haven as well adn compare the yacht club dining room to the Haven Dining Room? 4: Also, it looks like there are formal nights on MSC, other then the formal nights are Bermuda Shorts and Polo Shirts allowed in the Dining rooms for dinner? Would love any feedback or opinions anyone can give a new MSC and new yacht club cruiser. If the yacht club comes anything close the Haven, we will most likely be switching to MSC! Thanks again

Sailed in April, 1 of the main dining rooms will be open for lunch, as well as buffet, and the Local. The Haven Restaurant will also be open for Haven guest and also American Diner ( Free for Haven guest on the first day.)

Sailed out in April on the Joy. Boarding was smooth but a bit delayed due to Full Coast guard inspection. We were in the Haven so showed our boarding docs outside then were taken to a separate entrance then up an elevator to the separate Security screening and check in line. Haven Boarded first and our friends boarded in group 1, and they got on board about 45 minutes after us.

So I am going to Jump in on this, I have sailed RCCL Symphony of the seas in a balcony that was last October. Now Icon different ship, but no that different. Sailed the Joy this April in the Aft Facing Haven with 2 teenage girls 16 and 17. Hands down choose the Joy and the Haven. Still lots to do such as Go Karts, Water slides, Laser Tag, the VR arcade. Sailing in the Haven provides a level that a normal Balcony cant compare to. I get the Icon is gigantic and has things that the Joy doesn't, but I will say food will be much better on the Joy with the Haven and specialty dining perks. Also, Having room service available 24 hours a day free of charge is amazing for the teenagers that want to do late night snacks and such. My teenagers used it all the time. Also Priority Embarkation and Debark in ports and getting off the ship the last day is amazing! Meet in the Have lounge and be escorted down a crew elevator directly to the gangway. Also have sailed in the Forward facing Haven you are contemplating and also amazing room for the price. Separate bedroom from living room area, only down side is the balcony is small. Just my opinion, Icon in a balcony or Joy in a Haven Suite, absolutely choose the Joy

So short answer is yes, NCL can charge. Longer answer is we cruised last month in the Haven with our teenage daughter and her friend. In the Haven they never charged them...but they where charged outside the Haven. Like other have said be prepared to be charged if not its a nice treat

Like other have said, Boarding time all depends on the previous cruise Passengers disembarking. Also like others have said Coast Guard inspection, US health inspection, and also if CBP is doing a full crew inspection that can delay boarding time. We have boarded as early as 10:30 before and this last time we boarded about 12:30 due to Coast Guard inspection.

Just off the Joy last month, The drop down slide that goes over the side they are strict on everything. Nothing in your pockets, absolutely no jewelry, also no metal or plastic on your swimsuit, even the plastic things that wrap around the draw strings i was turned away for.

Yea NOLA terminal sucks!!!!!!! lol....Miami, traveling in a Haven, easy as anywhere we boarded from.

Yea, anyone under 21 can not have a drink package, personally we had our 20 year old son and his 20 year old girlfriend with us on a previous cruise, wife and I had drink package which allows 2 drinks per card, we simply got them the drinks they wanted and cost nothing. Some may say we are wrong for doing this but nobody cares as far as staff

True, great thing about the Haven, pretty much ask and you shall receive lol

Nobody needs to talk to you lol… how other spend their money is up to them. I have spent $1200 for a cruise also have spent upwards of $10k. I have also traveled the world every continent excluding Australia. Yes cruises berse land based is not the same… have done both but honestly I am happy with either

I will say I do love the nespresso makers, but some mornings just want regular coffee lol

I don’t believe so I could be wrong, I know the Havens do

Haven courtyards again are one room, no seperate bedroom. If that’s something your looking for I recommend the Haven Aft suite, huge balcony private bedroom but outside the haven complex
