Haven seating

[Beaver1975]

Is there blatant chair hogging in the Getaway's Haven? Or are the pool stewards good about removing "sunbathing" towels?

[brian99]

I doubt you will have any problem getting a chair on the haven sundeck. On the Breakaway there were always plenty of open chairs and several times my wife and I were the only people there.

Why wouldn't there be? There's blatant chair hogging everywhere else and I would suspect that Haven passengers are probably the worst when it come to "It's my cruise and I'll do what I want!".

Curious: did you have some unpleasant experiences with Haven guests on your one NCL cruise?

When we were on the getaway there were hardly any people by the haven pool. Looked pretty boring to me.

Actually there are more problems with supposed Haven guests here on CC.

 

7 days till my next NCL cruise thanks. Luckily no Haven on the Sun. I get free reign of the entire ship (that's open to passengers that is).

Ouch!!!! Not sure why you would say this as you don't cite any experiences - just hope you enjoy your cruise wherever and whatever your situation.

 

I have cruised in The Haven and felt very grateful for the enjoyment of the experience - I simply don't understand why you would make such a sweeping statement? I would be curious to know which ship you were on in The Haven to feel this way?

It's the attitude of some on the boards that he's referring to. The entitlement, if you will.

Have a great cruise!!

[abe3]

He won't have a great cruise because there will be no haven guests on the boat so he won't be able to be himself complaining about all the uptight haven guests.

[Beaver1975]

He bases his response, to my legitimate question, on his interpretation of anonymous posters here and not on actual experience. Why is it not surprising who would come to Out to sea's defense.

Beaver. I have been in the Haven 3 times and loved it. You will not have any problems with crowds or getting a chair and anyone hogging chairs. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy your cruise!

Agreed.

 

 

On all the occasions where we've had Haven access, not once have we had any trouble locating seating.

I've never had an issue with chair hogs in the Haven. Absolutely so peaceful there.

[johnsak123]

There is blatant chair hogging everywhere on any of the cruise ships

NCL or otherwise

I didn't understand; good to know you haven't had issues with Haven guests.

 

I hope you have a wonderful cruise!

Obviously, I am not "regular" so I am not aware of some member's

previous debates, interactions, and the like.

 

Since people pay for the added amenities and perks when they book Haven suites, I can understand why they could feel entitled. By definition, they do have a right to what they pay for.

Please reread my first sentence.

Spot on correct. :)

Have a great cruise!!

 

I'm hoping so. I've heard great things about the Sun and I have her booked next summer for 14 days in Alaska so this is my learning trip on her! :)

I base my response on sailing 13 cruises so far (do you really thing there is much difference in chogging on other cruise lines) and to what I have read on here. Do you really believe that Haven guests don't chog? If so, why the question to begin with and what is YOUR reason for what you believe?

 

You asked a question, I answered based on my experiences. If you don't like my answer that's not my problem.

Ahhh! Noted! does that make me the genuine article???? Either way, I can't wait until my next cruise either :):)

My wife and I spent a week in the Haven last year on the Breakaway and never saw anyone have trouble find a bed or lounge chair. We spent more time in the VIBE ( we paid an extra $70 PP ) with 2 other haven couples. Had a great time. The Heaven is not all its cracked up to be. The resturant has the same food as the MDRs. And I didnt need anyone to make my dinner resevations for us I'm old enough to make them on my own.

 

Great room but not worth the money, Get a Large Balcony and pay the $70 dollars Each and do the Vibe all week. Only 80 people on the entire ship can go in and you get privite bar and food service, hot tub, Beds, And VERY Privite from the rest of the ship. And you'll Never have to worry about those Nasty Chair hogs.....LOL

How many of your 13 cruises so far have been on NCL, AND in the Haven?

 

I have several....and have never seen chair hogging there. Not once.

But... but... everyone says once you go Haven you never go back! It's the law.

I have never been in the Haven, never plan to go in the Haven. But I do know that I have read reports here on CC from people returning from the Haven complaining about chair hogging. Those reports are certainly in the minority, but it does happen.

Why wouldn't there be? There's blatant chair hogging everywhere else and I would suspect that Haven passengers are probably the worst when it come to "It's my cruise and I'll do what I want!".

 

I think your "suspicions" are probably wrong. Haven passengers have their own pool area and there is more than ample space at all times. They have no need to hog chairs... I don't have any idea what would give you the impression that Haven passengers are more rude than other people. My experience has been the opposite.
