No. Not with UBP. I did tip emir at end of trip for the great drinks he made me during the trip.

Maltings Bar may do this process as well but I’m not sure.

Emir says Maltings bar does not make old fashions this way. Only in the Haven. So sorry.

My sister Sharon is a vegan and Nicholas made her some wonderful vegan dishes when we were in The Haven on the Escape last December. We will be back this year on the Bliss and I know she will be so excited if Nicholas will be there.

 

 

 

Talked to Nicholas personally tonight. Yes, he remembers you. He says “her name was Sharon, she gave me a friendship ring” he remembers making vegan dishes; and yes he will be on your next cruise!!!

After I got my smoky cocktail we had our last dinner in the Haven:

Appetizers:

Poke tuna

Beef short ribs on polenta

 

 

Butter lettuce salad with nuts and Greek olives and bacon

 

We both had chicken breast stuffed with Italian sausage. This was an amazing dish:

 

Next stop classic rock with siglo band at the Cavern:

 

I brought my 2nd old fashion from Haven to the Cavern:

We packed just in the nick of time. Got all of our bags out by 11:50.

We went down to casino again to get any comps allotted to us from Mikes play onto our account.

Then we had a couple of night caps. Then they said casino and bars were closing down around 1:00 am.

 

Lights above our bed as we crawl into our wonderful bed for the last time.

 

Lights in San Diego, (I think), as we cruise into California around 2:00 am.

We arrive in San Pedro.

 

 

This hill is the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I grew up here. My Mom and Dad built a house there in 1958. My mom still lives in that same house. Our car is parked there today, we just have to uber to her house this morning.

Welcome home!

What a sight and feeling to be on board the first biggest cruise ship in California.

I'm hoping to head out on Sunday the 27th toview the Bliss in San Pedro before she leaves to Washington.

Yes I saw a two person cart. Dad and son. Now I’m not sure but it looked like they had track to themselves. I arrived as their turn was finishing.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Thinking of taking the Momster, who is 86!

Thanks. I agree that we on the west coast have waited too long for a mega ship. We just need to have one have a home port year round. L.A. would be nice!

Thanks for all the great pictures and info. Trip went by too quickly.

View of one of the busiest cargo ports in the world!

 

 

 

 

Quick light breakfast in Haven. I’m sneaking out a couple of the delicious almond coissants for Mike. Last French press coffee too. So long Haven...I’m going to miss you!

I know the gratuities are shared among the crew, but when you tip directly (like your favorite bartender or your cabin steward) do the individuals get to keep the entirety of that tip or do they also have to be pooled?

Thank you for sharing your cruise with us! Your pictures were great and you have answered so many of our questions.

 

Hope you get to book another cruise soon:cool:

Thank you so much for a great review and all the photos. Really appreciate your efforts.

 

I totally agree about the too long of a wait for the west coast to get a mega ship! In 8 days I will be onboard this beautiful ship! Cannot wait to see it all in person! :)

Our professional photographer took many photos of our Cartagena day. I’ll see if I can post a link:

Really enjoyed this review and photos!!!

Is Margaritaville free for lunch (haven guests) only on embarkation day or every day?

 

Is the haven observation area every noisy? There are 2 bedroom suites right outside that area and thinking of booking. But concerned if the area is too crowded.
