Non-Haven suite guests question

[mommydoc]

We are sailing in a non-Haven 2 bedroom family suite on the Gem on 3/31. Are non-Haven suite guests invited to the suite-only Captain's cocktail party?

 

I thought I'd read that this party is held in the Haven, and since we don't have Haven access I'm thinking this perk is not for us.

Yup! I stayed in the Topaz Penthouse (pics in my signature) but it's non-Haven and we were invited to the captain's reception. And Yup it's in the Haven - it was nice to see it!

If you are in a full suite (cabin categories beginning with S) then you will be invited to the party. This will be your only access to the haven and it is for the party only, not swimming, etc.

I am sailing in an SC suite on Gem 3/31 as well and was not aware that we would be invited to the Captain's cocktail party in the Haven! Great to know!

When I was on the Pearl (12/12) the captains party was in the Bliss Lounge. I guess there were too many invitees to have it in the Haven.

It was held in the Haven on the Gem when we cruised in September. We were in an aft penthouse and were invited. However, the prior year it was in the Spinaker.

Wow...I didn't know that. I wanted to see for myself what the Haven looks like.

I'll be in a non-Haven 2 bedroom Penthouse in December (hoping for a price drop & will upgrade to Haven) Looking forward to the Captains party. What is served at this party? Appetizer's? Liquor? or or is it just a meet & greet type thing :confused:

it's basically a meet & greet with champagne and wine. On our recent one on Epic they did pass around small appetizers. They also requested no handshaking to prevent the spread of germs. :)

 

It was a nice chance to talk to some officers more casually. Our HD was so approachable and nice. And we spent some time with the fantastic Restaurant Manager.

We were in a non-Haven suite on the Pearl last year and the VIP/Captain party was in the Bliss lounge. It was really nicely done with drinks etc.

 

I suggest asking your conceirge for a tour of the Haven. They were happy to take us on an escorted tour. I am very excited now to actually have a Haven suite for the upcoming Breakaway sailings.
