We were on the Joy Aft Haven Suite and never spent any time in the Observation lounges. Escape in January and know we wont miss it.

I agree, We are booked on the Escape for January, just got back from the Joy during Spring break time in April. Was the Ship busy, sure!!! Pools were crowded on sea days but we never had any issues really. I think alot of people would like to see the occupancy levels like they were during the restart after Covid but thats just not going to Happen. If you dont like the crowds, stay away from the Main Pool deck during sea days, find a quiet place. Spice H20 on the Joy was great, never insanely packed and was never to long a line to get a drink.

was just there a few weeks ago, did not see any for purchase. If you wanted to Purchase them morning or day before you get on ship and check them as luggage and simply leave them behind.

When we got off the Joy in April in Miami Disembarkation was differant then anything i ever seen. When you scanned your face at the Gangway, there was one Customs officers there, if it went green you walked off, red had to show Identification to Customs agent. In our group i was the only one traveling with a passport and i was green the other 6 in our group traveled with birth certificates and they all went red. But once checked you were done, no checks in the terminal.

Can speak for the escape but we were on the joy a few weeks ago and cabins were ready by 1:30pm and embarkation began at noon, so not to bad

When you book a guaranteed cabin you absolutely get the FAS, only sail away doesn’t get FAS

Also depends what cabin, Haven has separate shampoo conditioner and body wash

Does it say Guarentee? If not look below and it should say choose a differant cabin. If neither are there mean may be the last one in that cateory

Well done the breakaway never the Prima. If itinerary is the same I would give the Prima a shot. What cabin are you looking at? If Haven I would absolutely try the Prima, done Haven on Breakaway and the Joy and loves both but Prima Haven looks even better

Just wait in the line, those without reservations will either be seated or given a pager just like on land

You will loose the discount. When you get on the ship ask for an extra key for whatever room you are sharing. Just remember your original key card will be the one you use for onboard charges

Depends on what you consider VIP? So Miami Cruise Port, There is a separate entrance for Haven, Separate Security screening, separate check in, and also separate Lounge/Waiting area. When we boarded 2 weeks ago only people we seen in Haven area where Haven Guests.

Have Cruised several times in the Haven on the Breakway, inside the Haven as well as in a Forward facing Haven Suite. Haven was great!!!! Lounge and Bar on on the same floor unlike the Breakaway plus ships. They have seating out by the pool for Haven Restaurant meals as well. Sun Deck was great, although no hot tub on the BReakaway on the outer Sundeck. Still an amazing complex!

We just stayed there 2 weeks ago, can’t beat the location, little bar restaurant downstairs, rooms are small and elevators slow but was perfect location for pre cruise stay

Just checked ours for January all back to normal

1.5 to 2 hours usually, but then again I never rush dinner, it’s so enjoyable to sit and relax having a nice meal with conversation and friends and family

First of all, When cruising in the Haven, make sure you cruise in the Haven on a ship that was built with it. Also, you joined 49 minutes ago and would love to hear what lines you have cruised. I

We had the Haven Aft on deck 10 on the Joy a few weeks ago. By far the Bacony makes up for being outside the Haven Complex, our cabin had the door from the bedroom to the balcony as well which we loved!!! Also, people made comments that the Aft Cabins have a lot of vibration, i can say we had hardly any and barely noticed it unless the sturn thrusters were being used when docking.

Yup, My January Cruise says the same thing

Yes Believe they were short Ribs! Honestly gonna miss Q when we cruise the Escape in January. But do like Maderno so guess its a trade off

If you ever signed up while searching for a cruise it enrolls you

I second that, Cruised out of new Orleans many times, Security Line goes very slow and will stop when Waiting area is full. We cruise in the Haven and there is no seperate Haven Security Line just a small room after you check in. Relax and enjoy outside on the patio from the mall till the lines are consistantly moving.

I had the beef Ribs and they were awesome, fall off the bone!

LOL that is funny! We sailed with our daughter and her friend (16 and 17) on the Joy in the Haven Aft Suite, needless to say they learned to knock on the Bedroom door very quick lol

Easiest way is put the 16 year old in your room, and then ask for another key for the room she is staying in.
