Freeholdnjjoe Posted March 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Heard the haven area at great stirrup cay opened on March 10th on a limited basis. Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormynow Posted March 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2019 We were on the Sky at GSC March 7th. Offered the air conditioned cabanas free for a "soft opening". Declined as the temps only in the 70's. Kind of wish would have taken the offer just to see them. Stormy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare amygutman Posted March 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2019 That's interesting to know! We are on the Dawn in June and booked a large cabana which we have loved in the past. However...we are in the Haven, so if the GSC Haven area is potentially open in June, I would happily cancel our cabana in lieu of the "free" Haven cabana. Yes...I know nothing on NCl is "free"...maybe "included in your Haven perks"? The large cabana is amazing btw...expensive, yes, but the privacy, service and convenience make it worth the money. It's been 2 years since our last Bahama's trip and I still have clear memories of an amazing family day. Hoping for updates from those in the know....A,y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLcruisergrl Posted March 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2019 What I’ve heard is that for a trial period (not sure how long), suite or Haven guests who have booked a small cabana will be upgraded, at no extra charge, to the villa. Suite or Haven guests in a large cabana will be upgraded upon request and based on availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW Pacific Posted March 24, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Is the "plan" that Haven Guests get to use a Cabana, regardless if they have purchased one or not?. Is this information available on the NCL website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormynow Posted March 25, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The villa's are not free for any class. We were in a BA balcony and offered a free one account of a soft rollout for them. We sail the Sky 6 or 7 times a year. Probably reason for the perk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare amygutman Posted March 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2019 That's interesting news...is there anywhere on the NCL site where it gives more information regarding the villas? I'd love to see what they have to offer or even photos? It would be very hard to beat a day in a cabana... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of sitting in an air conditioned room on the island. Wish we had taken them up on the free offer so could report more.

While we spent most of our time on the outside deck of ours, it's nice to be able to cool off for a bit! We are on the Dawn 5/1 and currently have a small cabana reserved. Just called pre-concierge and was told Haven Lagoon villas cannot yet be reserved for our sailing. Hopefully this changes soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a video: To avoid confusion (since this thread is about the Haven area on Great Stirrup Cay) this is Harvest Caye, NOT Great Stirrup Caye. Harvest Caye Villas are available for all to book, not just Haven guests. Edited April 1, 2019 by Wendy&Grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ_Erin Posted April 1, 2019 #17 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Some photos from the Villas at GSC. What an amazing experience! The beach area was very private, the villa felt like a beach condo, it was fully equipped with a stocked refrigerator, full bathroom and closet. I wish we skipped Nassau and spent 2 days here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
