Boarding..my “rule of thumb” still holds true. Getting to the port before about 10:30 and you’re in for a wait….in a crowded waiting area! We are on board the Haven. But, we are the first to board. Probably be another 15-20 minutes for the rest of the cabins. So, let’s call it 11:00 a.m. for the crowd to thin. Shoot for 11 to get to the pier checkin and walk on board!

Reading comprehension is your friend. Run through the posts in order and read them. You’re Welcome! Haven (or any cabins) fares are dependent on lots of variables..is it Hurricane season for the ship sailing from FL? Is school for the youg’uns on or out? Is the ship new or older? What’s the length of the cruise? Some itineraries have generally lower fares than others. To say there’s a general rule of thumb or some sort of “sale” (regardless of what’s on the NCL front page) of you wait is not something anyone should wait for. I’ve done it….amd got burned…more than once. The only real hard and fast truism about fares were when they were being steeply discounted after the COVID restart! There are deals out there. You just have to shop hard to find them. And when you find one, don’t hesitate!

(sigh) That’s the actual reservation I posted. I found the fare on NCL’s web site. Booked it through a TA! Book the way you want! I’m done!

Can’t believe I dig this out. But Can’t believe I searched and dug this up. But I hate being called a liar….

Therein is the issue. I don't even consider that a deal. I had a 2BR Haven Suite on Epic Mediterranean for 11 nites this past October for less than $5K ($4,800 I think was the number I recall). It was booked 5 months from final payment. If I had waited just 2 more days, same cabin type the fare doubled. $5K/cabin is my cutoff for Haven suites.

I agree… Unfortunately, I am a chronic cruise fare shopper. The lat 18 months or so, I’ve had to work hard….really hard, to find Haven deals. They’re there. But you have to be open in ships, dates and itineraries!
