Haybales2022

We just got off the Encore Sunday. We boarded as soon as the ship was clear. We walked on, the concierge gave everyone a ‘briefing’ of all the Haven offers. When he was done, he announced all the rooms were ready. This was all before noon. We dropped our bags and went to explore! The announcement for rooms ready for the rest of the ship was quite a bit later…maybe 3 pm.

It depends on how much more and how full you think the cruise will be. We cruised on Fantasy concierge years ago and we loved it. They made special shakes or drinks for our daughter, the lounge was a few steps from our door so easy to get snacks without going far, no lines at check in or ports. Less crowds and lines make our vacations much more enjoyable to we do value that. With a healing foot, someone waiting on you hand and foot might be nice. The private sun deck was nice to relax in quiet. If you can swing it financially, I don’t think you would be disappointed. Prices have gone way up since our last concierge trip (plus our family has grown) so I’m not sure we would pay for it anymore since I’d like more than one bathroom now with a family of five!
