Rare Monica887 Posted July 13 #3 Share Posted July 13 Depends on all your preferences. I was on the Escape Haven with 1 other person so a regular HF room was more than enough. My room was just off the bar area which I loved. I love being able to go from the pool and back to my room in just a few seconds. I think once or twice I was aware that the restaurant was above me, but it wasn't bad, and I'm usually sensitive to sounds and like my quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted July 13 #4 Share Posted July 13 For Escape Haven, I would avoid 14106/14706 since the balcony is partially enclosed (forward-facing suite...balcony is on the side, though). I would also avoid 13306/13906 since they have the smallest balcony in the category (aft-facing suite). If being picky, I would avoid 17128/17728 because of potential noise coming from the "outside of the Haven" area (table tennis). If booking an actual forward-facing balcony within the Haven complex (H2, H3), I would take deck 17 over deck 18 because 17 has the larger/deeper balcony. There are other minor differences depending on which category (HI,HA, etc.) that you are considering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the choice is 2 non-Haven balconies or 1 large Haven suite, I vote for Haven suite. One couple would get a better sleeping arrangement but the couples can work something out financially. The Haven benefits outweigh the added cost, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the enclosed balcony because I could sit out there and read while underway and there was no wind. I also didn't mind at all being outside the Haven. It was a short walk and we got a much nicer room for the price. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
