jfried8 Posted May 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm taking my girlfriend on her first cruise in August. We are taking the Breakaway to Bermuda! We started with booking a guarantee balcony, then went to a bump out, then an aft... And finally just upgraded to a Haven Spa Suite! It's my first time in a suite on any cruise line and her first cruise overall. Should we be psyched? I literally can't wait! Anyone stay in one of these? I'd love for your feedback! Thanks!

jfried8 Posted May 13, 2014 Author #2 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Also, we decided not to book the UDP as we hear the Haven Restaurant is phenomenal. Lastly, through promotions, we have $500 of onboard credit so that should help the fun! Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted May 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ohhh enjoy! $500 can purchase the UBP too if you rather lol When are you going in August. We will be on August 10 in the Haven in an H4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVEMYMO Posted May 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Not to hijack the OP - but question for those of you that just got off the Breakaway (Oradellian and TracyE) how were the balconies in your Spa Suites? Was it windy out there while sailing to/from Bermuda? Did you like the location of these cabins? We're booked in one also - sailing the end of the month. So any other info that you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you will be able to continue to sail in this manor in the future, because "regular" cruising does not compare. The Haven restaurant is great, but the menu does not change, so you may get board and want to dine in a specialty restaurant. Still, it probably makes sense to just pay for the few times you may want to do that instead of getting the UDP because you will want to eat at least some of the entrees the Haven offers.

Godiva830 Posted May 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I stayed in 14130 last aug. I loved it. I loved the location also. When in aug are you going? I'll be on the Breakaway again this aug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cabin was in a great location. Close to the stairs and easy to get to the Haven courtyard. Pics of the cabin are small bc I uploaded from my iPad.

Oradellian Posted May 14, 2014 #19 Share Posted May 14, 2014 how were the balconies in your Spa Suites? Was it windy out there while sailing to/from Bermuda? Did you like the location of these cabins? I like the forward, port side because it feels natural, like driving a giant car. 14132 is close to the stairs and elevators, a big plus. Deck 15 is the Mandara Spa, 16 is the Haven restaurant / pool, and 17 is the Haven private deck, very much appreciated. The balconies are narrow, only about 36 inches. There are 2 standard chairs and a small table suitable for cocktails. Wind can be a problem if the ship is sailing into rather than with the wind. Hard to predict in advance. We tended to use the balcony when in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksimpso3 Posted May 14, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) I returned from the Getaway on May 10. We were in Haven Spa suite 14728 and my mom & sister were in 14130. The suites (at least on Getaway) on starboard side had 2 chairs and table in suite, while port side suites had a small "fainting" couch and table. There was also a large pole in front of the Jacuzzi in 14130, but we did not have that in our suite. I have heard that the Breakaway is identical, so I will attach my pictures. You will absolutely love this room and the amenities that come with it (Haven and Spa). We used the spa several times, and it was never really that busy. The Haven sundecks were awesome, and a great way to avoid the craziness of the main decks. This is 14728: Edited May 14, 2014 by ksimpso3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked in this cabin in February. We were a bit concerned about noise from across the hall. It looks like it might be a storage/work area for the cabin stewards. Was it a quiet location?

I am currently booked on the port side, but I could switch it. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app I liked our room better only because the room didn't have the pole in front of jacuzzi (seemed larger somehow). I'm not sure it really matters whether you have a couch or the 2 chairs though, both seemed nice. In St. Thomas starboard side was facing pier, the other 2 ports, we backed in so port side was facing pier. It is all what appeals to you. They are nice suites.
