chill6x6 Posted December 24, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 24, 2021 That's a heck of a deal! The week I'm looking at is about $1500/night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMateJRK Posted December 25, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Is that $400 a night for two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than normal per diem for sure and a pretty good deal as a result, but don't consider that a screaming deal by any means. Amazed at the prices they want going forward (and that is said after spending the last 2 weeks+ in a Haven 2 BR). Would never consider $1000 per day let alone $1500 per day.

luckyinpa Posted December 25, 2021 Author #5 Share Posted December 25, 2021 try to find another joy/bliss 7 day for 2473 or less for 2 br haven. well. not a january one at least. otherwise i stand by that this is an insanely cheap deal for those ships. epic had 2br out of PR for about that but thats not the same class of ship.

Rare Sailing12Away Posted December 25, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I was eyeing those Joy January sailings as well. You can get 2 people in a Haven courtyard room with large balcony for less than $350/person/day. Our barometer for 'normal' is $500, so a good deal for sure. Epic is in the same category to me as they Joy. They both have a full Haven experience (separate restaurant, separate bar, lounge, etc). The Breakaway out of New Orleans has a 7 day trip end of January with similar pricing too... Lots of last minute deals for those with endless vacation time.

Rare mking8288 Posted December 25, 2021 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Way too good to be true, but, at that price point for last minute Haven deals - question is why ? Why, not getting good bids, need to bring occupancy up with extra new passengers revenue ? Dunno - as long as one is flexible & prepared to deal with surprises, could be a deluxe pampered 7 days CTN ... happening to another ship from a different mass line, check the latest cruise news.

Wondering too. Seemed they were holding prices fairly high and doing bids. Have checked recently and some rooms in Haven not too bad although DW no vacation planned. My guess current circumstances hitting all lines. Plus we are entering slow season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger001 Posted December 29, 2021 #10 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) I did a Bliss courtyard Haven two weeks ago, 7 night, for about $430 a night pp. But yours is a good price. Edited December 29, 2021 by roger001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aubreyc1988 Posted December 29, 2021 #11 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) I'm thinking about end of Jan but dunno yet with variant. Will probably make a decision this weekend, hard to pass up those prices. Really just nervous if I test positive and then have another 3k in FCC lol Edited December 29, 2021 by aubreyc1988 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacation44 Posted December 29, 2021 #12 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Last week I upgraded to a Haven cabin on the 2/12/22 Joy when the price came down $1,000 over a two week period . Then it just went down another $500 this morning. They are all dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, did you book through a TA and was it a hassle to do this? want to get in on the deals with an entry level haven and then pay to upgrade if the higher haven categories go down a bit...

I booked directly with NCL. Took no more than ten minutes. Went from a Penthouse Suite with Balcony to a Haven Penthouse Suite with Balcony for $1700. If I waited another week it would of been $1200. I also inquired about future price reductions and was told to call back two weeks prior to sail date for a 25% FCC which I plan to do. Whole process very simple and hassle free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetact Posted December 29, 2021 #15 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I leave on January 16th and the new price for our room is $2,338.44 cheaper then what I paid. That's a huge difference as I bought early this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure you could pay the difference to upgrade still, but wasn't sure since stuff is changing SO fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can invite you to their room, but you are not supposed to use the haven common areas. People on here will argue about this for days, but that is the written rule.

Rare aubreyc1988 Posted December 30, 2021 #21 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I'm so torn on what to do. I was initially planning on Feb 20th on the Joy in the Haven but the pricing for Jan 22nd is SO temptingm, about 1,700 cheaper...I know it's cheap b/c of current situations, but seriously considering it...plus not even sure if by Feb 20th if things will be any better in terms of masking onboard, etc...would appreciate anyones thoughts, as I flip flop LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i hate those tiny bathrooms) i dont fly to cruises but if you do then this is no brainer . oh then theres the testing before the cruise. took 3 hours on my bermuda trip but hopefully that's gotten better meanwhile. as far as masking im thinking thats virtually permanent for the forseeable future. but i loved my mask free october cruise! also assume it's a cruise to nowhere so you are surprised if you make it to any port 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MarkusToe Posted December 30, 2021 #23 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I'm very familiar with MSC YC, so i assume haven is similar... We are on BLISS Feb 4th an got an Upgrade offer... The origin price, just checked at the TA, is 11000Eur/person in courtyard. Thats way overpriced in my opinion..... So the question, would you bid on an upgrade at the actual situation?

Rare MarkusToe Posted December 30, 2021 #25 Share Posted December 30, 2021 So far i know, BLISS Haven, is mostly indoors.... So mask all the time.... Hmmmm, is that worth the extra bucks? Minimum bid is about 800US/person....we are in a the BB balkony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
