Also docked two times on Starboard side, but as BirdTravels advised, it is driven by operational needs.

Yes, where the juice dispensers are located.

Thank you. I will verify when we board.

When you had them make the spa appointment, did you receive any type of confirmation beforehand? I made two this morning by phone call and thought I would receive a confirmation. Now I am questioning if it was done.

Thank you for taking the time to report your thoughts and experience.

They also cancelled Priscilla Queen of the Desert on the Epic and did not replace it with anything. The only main show now in the theater is Burn the Floor. And for us, it is an one and done show so we will not be going to see it when we are on the Epic later this month.

No, they were not laying around. My daughter was a fan of the chicken Caesar wrap but do not forget to order the ice cream treat!

Thank you. This does make me feel better about not finding the right place to go.

Well, I can confirm the Haven snack menu was on the Joy last year. I asked for it while on the haven sundeck, took a while to receive it, then took a longer while to receive our order. If memory serves me correct, the order was wrong but we ate what we were given. Funny thing is we ordered from it and had a much better experience when we were on the Escape in 2019 and not staying in the Haven. We were in the Vibe and they had the menu there and all vibe attendees where allowed to order from it. We took advantage of this all week.

Anyone have any more input?

Thank you! We have a cabana reserved for our February 2024 Encore cruise. We are huge Vibe fans.

How about the loungers in the cabanas? Are they padded?

Wanted to thank everyone who has been contributing to this thread. Very helpful in researching what cabana would best suit us.

I want a coupon!!!

I also do not include these costs in our travel insurance as well as our airfare since we try to fly refundable/credit.

We will be on the Epic while you are reporting live on the Joy so I will have to catch up when we return. But, I am really looking forward to reading your comments on the Joy especially what you think of the Joy Haven sundeck compared to the Getaway Haven sundeck. And most importantly.....if you received your water! Have a fantastic trip.

As I mentioned above, we stayed in both a Haven Suite and a non-Haven suite in this location. Would definitely stay in the non-Haven suite again as long as I was able to secure a Vibe pass.

Still the same amenities as you mentioned for non-Haven suites for all ships except the Joy. Those amenities were taken away from the Joy in late 2021.

My understanding is that everyone in the cabin would have to upgrade.

We have to buy a few so that would be okay with us. But thank you for telling me your recent experience. I just hope the Epic CN staff is helpful.

I would order the shrimp if you want it. If you do not want the shrimp, then you should definitely order what you are in the mood to eat.

We were offered 10% off when we booked a future cruise on board last September. When we are on the Epic in a few weeks, I will definitely check and see what, if any, the offer is and then reprice if cost effective.

Correct. Only NCL branded merchandise.

I went back and re-read your post regarding your experience. It came across to me as a disappointment and I really did not think you were harsh at all. Still impressive to me that they sought you out.
