CruisingSince1982

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Is there any real difference between these 2 cabins? I know one is by the entrance to the lounge, and the other a little more forward. Any preference between the 2? I'm assuming the balcony sizes are the same? Thanks!

What time doe the Haven restaurant open in the morning on a Mediterranean cruise? Some of these ports have arrivals times of 6am! Thank you 🙂

You should have been able to get a hot breakfast with room service, whether the haven restaurant was open or not. If a regular cabin can get that, I would never expect not to have the same in the Haven.

They took you to wine tasting in the morning?! Our excursion leaves at 7am. I hope they don't do that to us. They do specifically say we are going to Florence first. I guess time will tell!

Not necessarily true. There have been instances where Haven guests were comped on night one in a specialty, but it usually is a low demand restaurant. Such as Q. It all depends on how busy the Haven restaurant is on night 1.

Has anyone used this company for transportation from Venice to Trieste? The reviews are excellent, but there are not many of them. I just want to make sure that we will actually be picked up and not left stranded at the airport on Venice. Thank you

Has anyone done this excursion through NCL? Shore excursions is useless in trying to answer a simple question, and it is so frustrating! If anyone has done this, approximately what time did you leave Florence to go to the wine tasting? We have timed entry tickets to the Galleria already, and I am trying to make sure I can make this work before spending money on the tour. It leaves the ship at 7am. Thank you!

I’m considering booking the Best of Florence small group tour. We already have skip the line tickets to the Accedemia for 11am. Would i still be able to book this tour?

We are looking at Oceania and Regent for our next cruise!

Totally agree with this!

Did you have a scheduled time to meet in the Haven lounge to be escorted off the ship in ports, or do you just show up when you are ready to go ashore?

Hi - do most vendors accept credit cards? Taxis, bus, restaurants?

We booked the NCL transfer. They will get us there on time 🙂

Oh that makes total sense, especially since this is the only review that I have read that mentioned! Thank you, I feel better now.

I just read a review on Shipmates about Cabin 11706, a forward facing haven suite on the Escape. It was a mediterranean /Greek isle cruise, and the poster said the wind coming off the front of the ship created such suction that it pulled at the balcony door all night, creating constant loud noises that sounding like screaming children. Think this was just a fluke? I can't imagine the ship was going fast. Those islands are so close together. That's the cabin we booked 😆

Thank you Josh. I wasn't sure because the Spa is right there too.

I know this post was made a while ago, but NCL is stating this room accommodates 4 people. Did they put a larger sofa bed in the cabin with the refurbishment?

I know the forward suites on Deck 16 aren't in the "Haven proper", but it looks like they are all Haven suites. Is this corridor keycard only access?

Thank you

Is it the same type of sofa that's in the Haven Forward Facing Suite?

I thought the smoking section was port side?

Thanks all!

Married adults and adult child. It's going to be tight. I doubt we will do it.

It's a lot. The best I can do is a forward facing haven suite. Still only 1 bathroom, but at least 2 separate sleeping areas.
