  1. My wife cannot stand the Pepsi that NCL provides onboard and only drinks Coke!

    What happens if we bring Coke onboard, do they confiscate it or can we pay a "can fee" to bring it onboard? :D

     

    I guess we will be forced to drink more alcoholic beverages on our beverage plan!! :D

     

    What next NCL?

  2. Best is to call directly, then have them email a confirmation. Halcyon is 758-453-0222. La Toc number is above...

     

    Thank you....is one better than the other?

    If not, I would think the one closer to where the the ship docks would be the better choice.

     

    Thanks again.

  3. My stance is that the experience is ruined if you aren't in The Haven "proper". By this, I mean you should stay in the Courtyard area for the full Haven experience. We stayed outside once, and we won't do it again.

     

    We love the Aft view and we plan on spending the days at sea in the Haven area.

    The walk there will help burn some of those calories from all the great food!

  4. We have cruised Breakaway four times, twice in the Haven. Our last trip, this March was a Haven trip. The new menu in the Haven is amazing. The quality of food and service in the specialty restaurants seems to have declined quite a bit. The exception to that was Cagney's which was awesome, so good that if we were to cruise again with a dining promo, all our specialty meals would be at Cagney's. The food and service in the Haven can not be beat. It is way above the MDR's and the specialty restaurants. There is no such thing as "full" for Haven guests when it comes to getting a restaurant reservation. Your chances of getting exactly what you want when you want are very high. If the concierge cannot access a booking from his computer, he will call the restaurant itself to get you a reservation. You can have anything being served any where on the ship served to you in the Haven restaurant. As others have said, it is good to give a heads up to the staff there if at all possible so they can coordinate any running they may need to do. Also, as others have said, if there is a fee for something you are ordering, you will have to pay that. The butler can get you menus, but the specialty restaurants have their menus on your TV.

     

    Would you happen to have the new Haven dinner menus or know where I might view them?

    Are they different every night or is it the same menu like the specialty restaurants?

     

    Thanks so much.

  5. Thanks Don.

    If you are on Breakaway, Getaway, or Escape, these ships have a separate Haven restaurant, so they don't have breakfast and lunch in Cagney's.

    I'm pretty sure I have a dinner menu, but I've heard that it changed two weeks after our cruise. I will look for it.

     

    Thanks so much Jo Ann....

    After this review and photos, my January cruise in the Haven cannot come soon enough! :)

  7. We were in an Aft master suite in December (Christmas week) and LOVED it!! The balcony is simply the best ... Loved being able to lay out there and enjoy the views.

    The food in The Haven Restaurant is good . The menu does not change but you can ask for different things .. Example daughter wanted choc chip pancakes - we got them !!

    The bar area is nice - can sit at the bar, in the lounge area or outside i. the Courtyard area where bar service is also available... All very relaxing

    We didn't run into any Haven area to be too busy at any time -- can't wait to go back ... 307 days and counting

     

    Thank you.

     

    Can you provide more information on the Haven's dinner menu?

    What do they feature?

    Is their outdoor dining available there?

     

    Don

  8. Has anyone been in the Aft Haven Master Bedroom Suite and can comment on that?

    Photos would be great if available

     

    What does the the Haven dinner menu feature..is it similar to the MDR menu or more like Cagney's?

     

    Also, how crowded is the Haven area during the sea days for lounging in the sun. Is there a bar for drinks in the area?

     

    Thanks.

    Don
